Like most Americans, I studied a second language in high school (and a third in college.) And like most Americans, I rarely have an excuse to practice my language skills. Mac apps and smartphone apps have gone a long way towards h...
Public Wi-Fi…it’s a bit like a public toilet, really. You never know what you’re gonna walk in on. Some public Wi-Fi is wonderful…but other spots are a bit questionable. If you spend a lot of time in coffee...
I hate not being able to find something that I know I just saw on my Mac a couple of days ago. It drives me crazy! When a file goes missing, and I can’t find it with Spotlight and Finder, I’m usually stumped. I can som...
Most people don’t have a central location for all the information about their personal and business contacts. They juggle a list of contacts in their email, on Facebook, on LinkedIn, and maybe even in a physical address book...
You guys, I just wanna be Tony Stark. Every time I watch an “Iron Man” flick, I long for the ability to control my computers and devices with gestures, just like Mr. Stark himself. I think we’re all pretty disapp...

I have heard of a lot of internet browsers, but I had never heard of Columbus Browser. So when I came across it, I was looking forward to giving it a try. It’s not so much that I am unhappy with the current browser I am usin...
Helvetica is one of the most beloved fonts in the history of typography. It’s so well-loved that it even inspired a 2007 documentary that honored the 50th anniversary of the font’s creation. Helvetica is beloved becaus...
Photo sharing apps are easy to find on the App Store, but it’s less common to find an app that has both mobile and Mac versions. If you already use Loops on your iPhone or iPad, you should definitely check out Loops for your...
I can’t name a single person in my social circle who doesn’t yearn to be more productive during their working day. One of the reigning kings of the productivity world is a little thing called the Pomodoro Technique. A ...
I miss physical photo albums. Not often, but on occasion. One of the things I miss most is seeing handwritten notes on the backs of photos, particularly in my parent’s old albums. Yeah, modern photos have plenty of annotatio...
I‘ve always toyed with the idea of making my own video game. For a long time, I supposed that I would just have to create an old-school text adventure game, since my programming skills are pretty darn meager. But then I hear...
There’s a spot in my house that gets an absolutely abysmal Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately, that spot just happens to be my bedroom. On the one hand, it makes me get up in the morning when I want to check my email. But on the ot...
