Goodbye Old Friend

July 20, 2024 by Jim Szymanski

It’s time to say goodbye to an old friend. I purchased my ASUS i7-7th Gen desktop for $800 in July 2017. At the time it was cutting edge with a new processor, a 2TB hard drive, and 16GB of RAM. Over the past seven years I’ve pushed it to, and sometimes beyond its limit though … Read more

Duracell 300w Portable Power Station Review

December 19, 2023 by Jim Szymanski

I bought a new Duracell 300w Portable Power Station to supplement the 150w FlashFish Power Station I picked up a couple years ago for the Christmas lighting on my balcony. There’s no electrical outlet out there. On Thursday night I plugged in Dominick the Donkey, and two hours later it turned off by itself. What! … Read more

DeWalt Car Jump Starter Review

September 21, 2023 by Jim Szymanski

Irony is my best friend. While searching for the DeWalt-compatible Keurig coffee maker I bought last month, I ran across this bad boy – a DeWalt Car Jump Starter. It also includes a digital compressor, work light, and USB ports that would keep my phone charged for a week. My battery was getting a bit … Read more

Project Studio–Project Management Made Simple

March 4, 2017 by Jim Szymanski

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Can’t explain how or why, I just know it to be true. The owner of our small company has recently been going month to month on our 3,000sf office/warehouse suite as she contemplated; renewing a long term lease, or look for a larger pad for our … Read more

Easy Shopping–Grocery Shopping Made Easy

January 28, 2017 by Jim Szymanski

I had been using Smart Shopping on my Windows Phone as my primary shopping app since it was first launched back in 2011. It has not been updated in a very long time, but it still worked for the most part. Earlier this week I was forced to hard reset my Lumia 950, and … Read more

Mechanical Bliss: Das Keyboard

April 8, 2016February 7, 2016 by Doug Simmons

Hey pal. Buy yourself a mechanical keyboard. I suggest Das Keyboard, no question. Backstory: My dinky Logitech was getting cruddy beyond anything the finest dust guns and tungsten carbide paper clips could salvage. I figured it was time to get a new and decent keyboard for my blogging career dreams. Gotta spend money to make money, right? Turns out they still sell … Read more

Can I use caniuse with my own dataset?!

October 7, 2025February 3, 2016 by Doug Simmons

Caniuse.com is a precious resource for web developers who need to know whether or not an acceptable percentage of their audience will be able to view their company’s fancy WebGL 3D animations. One shortcoming however had been that your audience’s software and everyone’s software could be totally different, as is the case with us. Rather than … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Pad&Quill The Little Black Book for iPhone4, Vol. 3

September 19, 2017August 23, 2011 by Tom Ratas

Before the age of smartphones and PDA’s there was the “little black book”. This pocket tome stored the contact information of acquaintances or in some cases possible hook ups. In homage to this classic from days gone by, Pad&Quill the makers of the moleskine style Cartella, Octavo and Contega cases have released the Little Black Book, Vol.3 for the iPhone 4.

The Little Black Book, Vol.3 has the look and feel of its big brother the Octavo for iPad 2 but in miniature. Using the same bookbinding techniques and craftsmanship Pad&Quill has created a truly unique looking iPhone 4 case.
