This will probably be a continuing series, so let’s talk about recent successes and failures of Siri AI. If you’re a grammar/spelling/punctuation pedant, you may find it […]

How to Search Apple Messages by Specific Conversation
I’m a big fan of the messaging app Telegram because of the user interface. Everything about it is better than Apple Messages.

TextEdit — the Unsung Hero of macOS
I love to tell you about cool, new apps and then teach you how to use them. But there’s a classic macOS app that never gets any coverage — TextEdit. You may think you need a big-girl word processor like Word, Pages, LibreOffice, or even Google Docs. But after I go through all of the […]

On our trip to Spain to see a total solar eclipse, we met the amazing Dr. Bonnie (Yvonne) Maldonado. I have to say I have a bit of a crush on her because she has one of the coolest jobs of anyone I know. And I know Dr. Andrea Ghez, who won a Nobel Prize […]
