I received my google glass order yesterday and was excited to open the box. When it tried to start it up, it appeared that the battery was in a state of deep discharge. After two calls to tech support, I was able to get it to charge and right before I went to bed, it […]

Continuing to explore CoreData
A few weeks back I was at MacWorld where I talked to the people at APRESS to see what books they may have on CoreData. They had one that seemed to be pretty good and I have picked it up. The book is called Pro Core Data for iOS: Data Access and Persistence Engine for […]
ReKoMe! A Tag Your Photos Automatically
One of the booths I didn’t get to see at MacWorld/iWorld is the app ReKoMe. I was watching the videos that Chuck Joiner did over at MacVoices, and realized I should have made time to see them. I decided that I would download the Beta and test it out today. Overall this is a pretty […]
Impressions of MacWorld 2014
As you’ve seen on my last few posts, I haver gotten back from my yearly geek week vacation at MacWorld. It was great to hang out with friends, talk tech, drink a few beers, and see what new gadgets are coming out. Overall, I enjoyed myself this year, but the sessions have become less content […]

And so it all ends so quickly – Thank you MacWorld for another great week of geeking out! Let’s quickly go thru the sessions I saw thru and then talk about the cool Apps and App Developers I got to talk to this week. I got to attend three sessions. The first was by Chuck […]
Day two of MacWorld/iWorld 2014
Wow.. what a busy day, and yes, I picked up a toy today. The Bass Egg was a kickstarted last year, and after hearing it today and doing a few tests (like placing it on my head), I was amazed and had to buy it. I am listening to a podcast on it right now, […]

Is monthly the new posting scheduled?
As people who follow me on various social feeds may know, I have way too many interests at times: swimming, singing, gaming, programming, technology, gadgets, just to name a few. On top of this, I have a day job that keeps me very busy, more do lately then usual. My weekly podcast over at GamesAtWork.biz […]
I made this
For years I’ve been trying to do some interesting things in 3D, but I found that my artistic skills are not always up to snuff. This week, however, I found a great tutorial on using Blender. If you are not familiar with Blender, it is an open source 3d modeling and animation tool that is […]
Is this your next development machine?
I finally got to play with the MacPro in person the other day at my local Apple store. This was not a fully loaded machine, it only had 12gb of ram and 256gb SSD, but I ran a few tests on it. And it was plenty fast for any activity that required multiple cores. I […]
