    2022 Week 27 – Odd One Out

    There were several large protests in downtown Indianapolis last weekend and even more this past week. All were regarding the Roe vs. Wade reversal, and all were peaceful, which s a lot better than the mess we had downtown a while back. I’ve grown up in a conservative household and have always considered myself a…

    Snow Day Fun Day

    We’re staying in today & watching the snow come down in Central Indiana. I was looking around on Reddit and came across a post with a link to a website where you can make your own Smart Phone wallpaper from a map. Here are a few I made for the Indianapolis area, and another one…

    Triple Click iPhone Home Button Trick

    Trying to get back into the blogging habit after a long hiatus.  Too many distractions with the amazing summer weather we’ve been having this year!  I’m working on a recap of what we’ve been up to & should have it up here in a week or so. BUT, for now I’ll publish a draft I…

  • Siri Accidentally Activates During White House Press Conference

    Siri Accidentally Activates During White House Press Conference

    This should make you think twice about enabling the Always On “Hey Siri” in the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus!  When I’m listening to Podcasts in the car and someone mentions Syria Siri wakes up half the time.  IOS9 has a training feature that will, hopefully, eliminate this.

    6-hours With an iPhone 6…

    …and so far I like it! Quick review now & I’ll probably do a more in-depth one in a few weeks. It’s larger than the 5s it’s replacing and about as big as I’m willing to go with a phone.  NO WAY was I going to even think about the 6 Plus.  The Apple leather case is…

    First Impressions – iOS7

    It’s been a few days since Apple released their latest mobile operating system and now that the dust has settled I thought I’d post some of my first impressions about iOS7.  This is not a complete review, of which you can find all over the web by better writers than myself, it’s just a summary…

  • Swipe to Over Sleep

    Swipe to Over Sleep

    After using the iPhone for a while I’ve become quite fond of it but with any device there tends to be a few quirks. Case in point; the iPhone alarm clock… The Apple iOS starts just about all phone interactions with a swipe of the finger. That swipe becomes second nature to a lot of us…

    Keeping the Web in Your Pocket

    As much as I read online you would think I’d already be using an online clipboard but the usefulness was lost on me until about three weeks ago.  Pocket (formerly Read-it-Later) is changing the way I collect and process online content. Adding a simple bookmark to your browser allows you to take the article you’re…
