Atlanta Magazine has posted a list of locations where large parts of Stranger Things has been shot.
Glad they finally found a use for Gwinett Place Mall …

Rebuilding the blogging muscle
It’s been a long time since I wrote anywhere other than in my Day One journal (which I do nearly daily at this point – I love the type of things I notice and jot down when it’s mostly for an audience of one). I’ve mostly avoided social media over the past year or two […]

The HomePod is the point of no return for Apple fans
Apple’s HomePod is, by all accounts, a superb speaker that sets a new benchmark for sound quality in its size and price class. But it is also brazenly hostile to any hardware or service not made by Apple. If you decide to buy one, do so with the full awareness of how deeply ensconced inside the Apple bubble you will be.
Super valid points in this article. I can’t say I’ll be buying a HomePod until Siri is better and the potential integration points are better. I mentioned this a while back, but I find it harder and harder to lock myself in to any single vendor, but Apple is the worst about this by far.

At the event, they presented the Home, the Pixel, and Google WiFi and they all caught my eye for different reasons. I’m intrigued by the concept of mesh networking rather than throwing a router in one corner of […]

What just happened? We just elected a man who ran a campaign based on fear, hate, racism and misogyny. Devoid of any content other than a few catch phrases and intellectually too lazy to learn more about the issues, Donald Trump is going to be our president in 2 short months. I’m terrified, and at […]

Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed a very interesting trend in the personal technology space. A pretty big shift has occurred – with Apple slowly becoming less reliable, less intuitive, and less interesting (to me) and Google has slowly become better designed, more thoughtful, and better at addressing consumer’s needs. The race between Apple and […]
