Musings on Education, Technology, Pop Culture, Religion & Staying Curious
It’s a bit hard to believe that it was almost three weeks ago that I flew to San Francisco to attend Macworld|iWorld 2012 and to do my 30 minute presentation at the pre-conference CUE@macworld session.

When I first heard about iCloud’s photostreaming feature I was really hoping that I’d finally have a much better workflow for my photos than being tied to my iPhoto library that was getting much too big for my little macbook air’s little SSD. Sure enough, once I got my macbook air, 27-inch iMac, iPhone [...]
Job’s ended his keynote introducing the iPad 2 on Wednesday saying, “technology alone is not enough, that it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.” It’s an important point that gets missed in all the noise and hype and features lists from all [...]
Ahead of next week’s unveiling of Apple’s iPad version 2 we’ve received a video review of this magical cutting edge product. Apple seems to have another home-run on their hands… Can hardly wait to get mine!
