A fairly painless experienceFacilitated by insomniaAnd a fair excitementThat I hope you enjoy. Not as painless as hopedIncessant prompts to pay more moneyUnstated requirements ariseRegret begins to seep in

iMax

With stark horror, as I sat down to a decanter of red, that I have had iPhone 11 Pro Max in my possession for over a week now, yet I still haven’t reviewed it, let alone made a post about it. This, one must conclude, is rather poor treatment for a 130000円 device! AND Apple’sContinue reading “iMax”

With greater awareness of the job, and our own skill sets, we gradually learn what tool best matches what job. In 2010, iPhone 4 removed my need to carry around four separate tools: a ridiculous Samsung OmniaContinue reading “Two Loves: Mac or Pad?”
