I’ve been a fan of the Twitter app for Mac since I started using Twitter several years ago, so I was sad to see it discontinued. What I liked about it was that it was very streamlined, yet gave me the information I wanted. I’ve gotten used to seeing my notifications for all my TwitterContinue reading “Twitter for Mac, a 2-App Approach”

In Praise of Old Tech
One bad habit I have (or maybe a good habit) is that I don’t get rid of all of old computers. That’s a problem when there are old machines that don’t work kicking around (maybe waiting to salvage a drive or something), but I have a few that will still boot up and can beContinue reading “In Praise of Old Tech”
Simple Work-Around for old iPhone and 2-Step Authentication
I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a luddite when it comes to cell phones. I’d rather not be that connected all the time, so it took me awhile to even get a smart phone. I inherited my old iPhone 4 from my wife when she upgraded (to a 4S — we’re still behind theContinue reading “Simple Work-Around for old iPhone and 2-Step Authentication”
RIP Vintage Macbook
This is a follow-up to a series of posts about my 2011 MacBook Pro 15″ that went through the video card replacement program back in June 2015. At the time, I was very happy with Apple for (finally) stepping up to the plate and fixing the issue for free. They replaced my logic board whenContinue reading “RIP Vintage Macbook”
Rediscovering Lists on Twitter
Recently, I’ve gotten back into Twitter lists: making them and finding them. Lists is one of those features on Twitter that often goes overlooked. They hide on a user’s profile. At least when using the app, you have to click on the gear icon on their profile page to View Lists. I was reminded ofContinue reading “Rediscovering Lists on Twitter”
The Life of a Blog Post
Today, I want to take a little trip down my own geek highway. Every now and then (maybe more often than I’m willing to admit), I check the stats on my blog. It’s one of the features I like about WordPress, by the way. I can see who’s reading what and sometimes that affects whatContinue reading “The Life of a Blog Post”
Fun with ATT Support
Since I know a few people follow my ongoing saga with ATT on this blog, I thought I’d chronicle the latest. Yesterday our U-verse phone service went out, though we still had internet service (the other day my wife was having poor internet service, so we rebooted the U-verse router and after awhile got bothContinue reading “Fun with ATT Support”
Making My Own Template and Theme in Powerpoint
One of my tasks this summer has been to get a number of Powerpoint presentations ready to go on the companion website for my new book, A Writer’s Craft. Since I was planning to edit them for general consumption and since I wanted to give them a more consistent look, I decided to come up with myContinue reading “Making My Own Template and Theme in Powerpoint”
How to Buy a Car: the Latest Saga
A few year’s back, I wrote a post about How to Sell One Car and Buy Another in One Day. Even then, I knew that had been a charmed experience and hardly typical, so I thought I would add a post about our latest car buying experience, which ended well but wasn’t quite as easy asContinue reading “How to Buy a Car: the Latest Saga”
Catch, Knox College Magazine
This week, I had a blast from the past, an email from Knox College asking about the times the undergraduate literary magazine, Catch, had won the CCLM national prize. The acronym is for the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines, which around 1990 changed its name to CLMP —Council of Literary Magazines and Presses. The three coversContinue reading “Catch, Knox College Magazine”
