I have another site called Rob’s Tech Talk, where I provide news and how-to’s to help people get more out of their (mostly Apple) devices. Unfortunately, just like this site, I’ve been away from that site for quite some time and plan to change that.
Continue readingThe iPad Works
While sitting on an airplane during a recent trip, I looked around and noticed five people nearby using iPads, not including me. This got me thinking about some articles I’ve read recently that call into question the usefulness or even the future of the iPad. These types of articles seem to pop up more this time of year as we wait for the latest updates from Apple and the tech news is slow.
Continue readingPurpose, Passion, or Doing
In my last post, I wrote about purpose. Since then, I’ve been thinking about the post, and purpose a lot. I’m coming to the conclusion that it’s OK not to know my purpose. And more, that maybe I don’t need to be on a quest to find it.

I’ve got that software bug again. I’m not talking about a software defect that drives us all crazy. No, I’m talking about the strong desire to write software. I wrote recently about how I had decided to stop working on software and focus on writing. I did that and have enjoyed it, but almost every day I’ve still been thinking about software. About finishing the app I started last year. About new apps I could write. About new ways to solve problems I’ve come across. And on and on and on. What does it mean?
iPad Life: Writing
I’ve been using the iPad as my only computer for the past few months and it’s been great. I thought I’d share how I’m using it to do all my writing, which includes this blog, my Tech Talk blog, and a novel I’ve been working on. I’ll also talk a bit about the process I use to write.
Mac Becoming More Like iOS?
I read an interesting article this week on Macworld titled The Mac is becoming more like iOS — and I think I like it by Jason Snell. If you’ve been following the world of Apple for any length of time, you’ve heard of Jason. He’s been writing about Apple and its products for decades.
Tech Talk Posts
I’ve decided to stop cross-posting the articles from my Tech Talk site here. As I wrote before, it feels a bit strange when I look back on the posts on this site and see so many Tech Talk links.
That said, I have noticed several readers here also use those links to jump over to Tech Talk. If you’d like to be notified of new Tech Talk articles follow that site here.
Now that that’s out of the way, on to writing something!
