This year I plan on making sure that any app I work on is available on at least three Apple platforms. To that end, I have updated my Greet Keeper application, which tracks greeting cards, to run via SwiftUI on VisionOS.

Apple’s iPad Magic Keyboard thoughts
I’ve been a huge iPad fan since it first game out. I bought the first four versions sight unseen, and with each one I loved it more. I have the original iPad keyboard stand, that plugged into the 30 pin slot and only worked in portrait mode. When the first iPad Pro came out, I […]

Review of new iPad
I hadn’t planned on doing reviews of hardware on this site, but here we go, I’ve been using a new iPad for almost a week now, and the screen in incredible, but that is not the thing that I am enjoying the most. LTE support is amazing! My old iPad was a 3G device and […]
