I finally learned how filter my words, how could I do that with thoughts?! All jokes aside, there could be serious liabilities involved with letting thoughts out in the open. I know clients’ passwords…and some of them are funny. If I were to think of someone else’s password when trying to unlock another site, there could be potential for a…[Read more]

I love phone GPS…in fact, I used to get quite lost without it 🙂 This also reminds me of instances where people have been saved by Siri, who was able to call 911 for them. Did I just refer to Siri as a “who”? Unfortunately, I’ve also known someone in a dire circumstance who wasn’t able to call for help because their phone was doing an iOS…[Read more]

Personally, I think that my fingerprints might be one of the least interesting things that I don’t want people to know about…but I do identify with my face and show it to cameras the world over. While I hope I’m never in a John Wick situation where I have to be on the run, it is pretty crazy how far facial recognition technology has come in the…[Read more]

For example, plumbers have been at my house saying, “what did you do here??” and I was able to quickly open Photos, select my house’s location, and then scroll through the year that the previous plumbing work took place to find the reference photo of my pump house.

It’s cool to see how seamless phone integration with a car’s display can mean so much. When I was car shopping last year, Apple Car Play did seem like a cool feature, and I weighed it into my decision making. While I ended up with a car that doesn’t have Apple Car Play, it was amazing how suddenly a feature I hadn’t even considered before I…[Read more]

I love that story (except for the part where you had to pull your hair out). So many times, there’s a way forward within the tools we already have at our disposal.
