Early in the morning of August 20, 2011, our neighbors tree fell across both of our cars. The tree had been leaning for years, and did some serious damage (but not quite enough to total them). We called Allstate, they had us call Marietta Tree Service (who was great!), and we started the process of […]

Becoming Superhuman pushed me back to iPhone
I’ve loved Android for years (and still do), but I often said something like “I’m using Android for now, and for the foreseeable future, but I’ll move back to iPhone if it ever makes more sense for me.” In my opinion, people on both sides should always keep an open mind; “iPhone for life!” or […]

My favorites things in 2016
With 2016 behind us, I thought it might be fun to look at some of my favorite things from last year. Favorite phone I ended up using six different phones last year, largely related to the Galaxy Note 7 fire fiasco. Mine never caught fire, but the various recalls were messy. Droid Turbo 2: I […]
