Disney on Ice!

The whole family went to Disney on Ice at the RocketMorgage FieldHouse in January. We got to experience a incredible show, even with us in the nosebleeds.

The Archive: iSight Webcam
This is a special one for me. I never got the chance to own one when these came out as it was during the “Macs not on intel phase” and I was firmly in the Windows camp. It was (and is) one of the nicest looking external webcams available. It pioneered some of the things…

Some thoughts on the Halo Infinite Tech Test

At long last, the team at 343 industries released a technical test for Halo Infinite ahead of the launch later this year. To say I was excited to be a part of this test would be an understatement as I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this game since 2020. This test was available…

Adventures in Bourbon: Aging Part 1

If you know me at all, you would know that I am passionate about bourbon. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about the distilling process and even visited Bourbon Country a few times. I loved going to each distillery and learning how they make their brand unique and create the variety of flavors that…

The Archive: Microsoft Zune

Few devices carry the infamy like the Microsoft Zune. Microsoft’s answer to the iPod only lasted a few years before it was ultimately discontinued to help pave way for the Windows Phone. While the Zune name lived on for a little while longer (as the name of the music service), that too was retired and…

The Archive: Apple iPod

The iPod was my first Apple device. Actually, first of a couple in the iPod line and then the iPhone line, which I still use as my daily driver today. A lot has changed over the years with the iPod including the “core” iPod (and all of the other models beside the iPod Touch) being…

The Archive: Apple iPhone & iPhone 4

The Apple iPhone changed history forever. It was the first touchscreen phone that didn’t require a stylus and had a glass display. The history of the iPhone has been well documented but I wanted to talk about my experiences with the first few models which I hold near and dear to my heart. The iPhone…

Introducing Bowser

This past March, we decided to expand our family again. After Marcy and Chopper passed away, we wanted to get another dog but was unsure of the timing. With a pandemic happening and another baby on the way, I thought this would be a great time to get a puppy. I was wrong in that…

The Archive: iPod Hi-Fi

This is the first in a short series of posts around my new and blossoming “Archive” collection. Mainly comprised of technology, it is stuff that I enjoyed/had/desired in the past that I feel a connection to. Some of it was purchased used (since I may have sold it/donated it like a dummy). The iPod Hi-Fi…

Cleveland’s Natural History Museum in Black and White

We visited the Natural History Museum in Cleveland this past weekend. I put myself up to a challenge – take pictures using a different device than I normally do. I ended up on using my Essential PH-1 and only used the monochrome sensor on the camera. It picked some great detail (especially for a mobile…

What to bring to Dreamforce, 2019 Edition

Dreamforce (Salesforce’s annual conference) is rapidly approaching! I’ve been asked by a few people about what should they bring and what they should be aware about. Since I’ve been to Dreamforce 4 times so far (5th time this year), I do have a pretty good idea of what to expect 🙂 I’m quite a gearhead…

Droning Around at Patterson Fruit Farms

A couple of weeks ago we all went out to Patterson Fruit Farms in Chesterland, Ohio for their Fall Fun Fest. We also needed to get pumpkins for Halloween, so thankfully they had those there as well. What I didn’t realize was how much fun stuff they had for kids! They had 2 corn mazes,…

Extra Life 2019

Extra Life 2019 is in the books! I’ve raised over $2,200 this year (as of this writing) and I am SO CLOSE to raising $10,000 through the Extra Life program. This is my sixth year raising money for the kids. I played plenty of games this year and even had Cooper join me for some…
