We completed our first Instacart transaction today, and it was satisfactory; however, there were a few things that we either had to hunt for or discovered in the process. For the purposes of passing this on to others, here’s an account of our experience and what we learned. Let’s walk through the experience first. You’ll … Read more
Recently I posted my thoughts on iMovie on the iPad 2. I an exercise of complete redundancy, here’s are those same thoughts (more or less) in video form.
Another in my wacky series of vlogs, this time discussing the iPad 2. Edited entirely on the iPad 2.

With nothing to do and no family around, I was going to attend to miscellaneous tasks around the house – until the air conditioning … Read more
Back on July 17th, I ordered an iPhone 4. I knew about the so-called antenna-gate problem, and I waited until Uncle Steve gave the word for free iPhone bumpers/cases to mitigate the problem.
