Pixelmator Photo for iPad was launched, rather fortuitously, just before I went on holiday. It turned out to be almost the perfect app for processing RAW photos from my DSLR camera while on the go. There are some key features of Pixelmator Photo that stand out for me over other iOS photo apps. Pixelmator Photo […]

While I admit to some envy of Allison driving around in a brand new Tesla, I’m still happy with my new car. I say new. It was new when I got it. 13 years ago. I’ve adhered to the manufacturer’s servicing program almost perfectly, including having the servicing done by them, and it has barely […]

This is a review of the AirFly, made by TwelveSouth, an amazing little device. It is available at the TwelveSouth site or at Amazon — be sure to use Allison’s affiliate link, if you decide to shop there! At each place, the AirFly sells for $40.

I’ve been playing around with computer graphics since before you could reasonably display a photo on a computer screen.

While away from home, I could whip a memory card out of my camera (replacing it with another), place the filled […]

Back when I was a teenager, I always used to leave my homework until last thing before bed. I was pretty sure it was just because I was lazy, but the excuse I used to give to my parents was “I do my best thinking late at night.” Oddly enough, there was more to my […]

When it comes to task management apps on Apple platforms, there has long been a gold standard in the Omni Group’s OmniFocus. I’ve been invested in OmniFocus for over three years now and admire the fit and polish of the product, but I’m at a point in my life where its complexity is now overkill […]
