I will be riding my Indian motorcycle over to Manchester, NH to my dealer so they can address a couple of recalls on the bike. Something about the bike starting up by itself or something! Hopefully the weather will cooperate for the ride down I-89. I wonder what’s going to be new at WWDC. I…

iPhone is a Portrait Machine!
I have been a photo bug since I was a kid. I have had cameras my entire life and even built a darkroom into my home up on Prickly Mountain. While I still own a half dozen cameras, I now shoot almost exclusively with my iPhone X. I have a nice SLR with fancy lenses…

Apple Demolishes the Street
Tim Cook has said time and again that analysts should not look at “supply chain” reports to predict how Apple is doing. Over the past few weeks there were quite a few of those same analysts that didn’t listen, claiming that Apple’s sales were slow, that the iPhone X was not a success, that guidance…

The local power company is holding their annual shade tree giveaway on Saturday. The Keys lost a lot of vegetation and some areas up around Big Pine were so devastated that firefighters were fighting a huge brush fire this past week. Grace and I have done a lot of planting this year but I think…

Speed Up Those Apple Watch Updates
I run Apple beta software on my Apple Watch so I probably update the software a bit more often than most Apple Watch users. But I know you Apple Watch users will agree with me that the Apple Watch updates are painfully slow. As long as I am complaining, I don’t know why Apple requires…
