    Tech Review for Writers: reMarkable2

    January 30, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I got myself a piece of interesting tech this year in hopes it would get me from out in front of a computer screen more often. Meet the reMarkable2, a distraction free (i.e. it’s not connected to the entirety of the internet) e-ink tablet workhorse that’s easy on the eyes. First things first. The reMarkable2 tablet is not for everyone…

    Review: #Microsoft #Surface Book

    December 20, 2015 / No Comments

    It’s really no secret that I like reviewing the technology that I use just to give folks an unbiased look at what a real working creative professional thinks of everything from phones to tablets to computers.  So before I review this laptop, I have to give you a little backstory. A few years back I bought a Surface RT.  LOVED…

    Review: Nuance’s Dragon Naturally Speaking

    May 14, 2015 / No Comments

    Ever since I began using dictation software, I’ve had a ton of people come to me and ask how I like it. So I figured I should probably review it in my blog, and actually use the dictation software to write the blog post. So the software I’m using is called Dragon Naturally Speaking. You’ve probably seen commercials for it…

    Write Which Way?

    April 29, 2015 / 2 Comments

    Since I often find myself being asked which word processing software I use, let’s talk about writing and word processing programs.  One would think that all word processing programs are created equal. That Open Office and Word Perfect are just as good as MS Word, or that your OS’s included text editor is just as good as Scrivener – and if you’re…

    Microsoft Band – A Review

    December 17, 2014 / No Comments

    I occasionally like to review new technology and share with folks what someone who isn’t a tech blogger actually thinks about things.  I’ve never been much for having a favorite “team”. My tech either works for me or it doesn’t. Also — I don’t get paid to review things. So here’s the thing — I actually USE my tech to help…

    To the Interwebs!

    June 5, 2014 / No Comments

    Sometimes I feel a bit out of touch with the modern world despite the fact that I consider myself technologically “progressive”. I grew up with a Commodor Vic 20 and an Atari 2600 in the house. My favorite game on the latter was Q*bert. I grew up around the time disco died, hair bands were king, and electronic music was…

    Good Habits

    February 25, 2014 / No Comments

    I’m one of those people whose computers rarely get viruses. I’ve have not had my accounts hacked either. I always thought it was because I was more tech savvy than the average user, but what it comes down to is that I follow five basic protocols that a lot of computer users don’t. 1. I don’t use the same password…

    I Hate My Mac Part 2

    June 3, 2013 / 3 Comments

    Late last year I wrote a little post about why I hate my Mac. While I still hate my Mac because it’s still really uncomfortable to write on, I’m beginning to RESENT my Mac. I resent it because I spent over $1K on it and it was like flushing that money down the toilet. I still prefer my Dell laptop…

    #EDCMOOC Film Discussion: My Thoughts

    January 27, 2013 / No Comments

    Film 1: Bendito Machine III What is this film suggesting are the ecological and social implications of an obsession or fixation on technology? Do the film’s characters have any choice in relation to their technologies? What are the characteristics of various technologies as portrayed in this film? The film’s characters here seem mesmerized by the technology, as if they don’t…

    #EDCMOOC Idiocracy: A Dystopian Technology Story

    January 27, 2013 / No Comments

    It seems there are quite a few films that are actually dystopian stories about technology gone awry. I was initially torn between discussing Terminator where we make the machines so smart, they take over, or Idiocracy, where the machines do everything, people become dependent on them, and as a result the people become stupid. I think I’ll choose Idiocracy.  Idiocracy is, by…
