My examination of an Apple mapping mistake shows that the fault lies with TomTom
In the midst of the media frenzy surrounding the flaws in Apple’s new Maps released in iOS 6, there has been a lot of finger pointing going on. Apple has been quick to state that the problems are a result … Continue reading
Why does everyone feel the need to create a mobile app? Costco, I’m looking at you…

The best thing about my Kindle is my kids have no interest in it
As the kids have moved into toddler age and beyond, I find myself with more opportunities to read here and there. I can work through a New York Times article in between mopping up my 1.5 year old son’s spilled cereal … Continue reading
