AppleInsider Review: BrydgeAir iPad Keyboard
I was not a fan of keyboards for my iPads until I picked up one for a client and decided to try one for myself. I actually liked the ability to take my “mini-macbook air” with me to appointments and type longform notes and text on a really keyboard with a fullscreen app. This one […]

Not that I condone exploding blocks (not as bad as exploding dimensions, but still a no-no) but there are times when it is necessary. Take a look at what may be preventing you from exploding a block in your drawing (works on Mac too.)

Review from AppleInsider: Microsoft’s health Band
Great review of Microsoft’s iOS compatible Band. I still haven’t been convinced a wrist worn band can keep track of my steps as accurately as my Fitbit One I keep in my pocket, especially if much of my tim running is indoors on a treadmill. However, I do like the idea of a heart rate […]
Yosemite 10.10.1 Update available
This update is supposed to address wifi issues as well as some Mail issues. Personally the biggest gripe I’ve had with Apple / Mac OS X has existed since Mavericks and it has centered around Mail. I actually had to stop using Apple Mail in Mavericks as my GoDaddy IMAP account would not sync through […]
