Dear Friends, I took a quick trip up to Tech Data in Clearwater, FL for some meetings this week and it was good to meet some folks I have only talked with on the phone. The recount is underway here in Florida and I think we will be watching some Kibbles & Bytes reader’s pups…

I hardly ever eat seafood in Vermont because, well, there is no ocean within 150 miles. I am spoiled by Key West where the sea surrounds us and every restaurant offers freshly caught seafood. I was reading the paper this morning and I think I might go observe Key West’s version of the hot dog…

If you have an iPhone X or one of the new iPad Pros you are getting familiar with Face ID. I have been using it with my iPhone X and love it. One of the biggest drawbacks is when I want Grace to use my phone while I am driving. Touch ID lets users register…

Dear Friends, We made the journey to Key West fun by taking 2-lane roads all the way to Florida. It took a bit more time but was a lot less stressful than days on I-95. The house was in good shape and we even had bananas and one sole lemon. Jezebel and Max remembered our…

We are packing up and stuffing everything in the car for our trip to Key West. I convinced Grace that we really did not have to rush and spend the entire trip on I-95 so we will be doing some meandering as we head south. I am going to use my iPhone app that tells…

Apple Watch Nike + GPS & Cellular First Week
Being the spoiled Apple fanboy that I am, I decided that I definitely needed a new Apple Watch just so I could write this article. I opted for the Nike+ Series 4 Apple Watch and got it this week. I set it up and it was pretty easy to move my cellular number from my…
