I’m a big fan of Apple’s AirPods and they are normally connected to my phone to listen to a podcast. It’s always a bit tedious to connect to my MacBook Pro for team calls, until now. I found this great Alfred Workflow (at the bottom of the article) to quickly connect. It works great!  

I like the Siri watch face in WatchOS 4, as it normally shows my upcoming calendar appointments, but I don’t have anything, it shows a cute message like this: Even though it’s 1:15 PM

Last week we released version 4.8 “Evans” of WordPress, as I write this it has had about 4.8 million downloads already. The release was stable and has been received well, and we were able do the merge and beta a bit faster than we have before. When I originally wrote about the three focuses for… via…

Call me a geek, but I enjoy these emails each month when my house and car let me know how they’ve been doing.

I’ve been an iPhone user since the iPhone 4 and have never had a case. Over the course of the life of the phone, I’ve scratched the edges, but nothing too major.  Today, as we were playing in the basement, my phone got underneath a kid’s wooden rocking chair and it got quite a few…

I love finding new ways to speed up my work on a computer. I already do a lot of things in this video, but the main tip I picked up is to speed up the tracking of my mouse, game changer!

During my #100DaysOfCode challenge, I’ve been looking around my websites to see what’s broken / needs fixed and I stumbled upon my 404 page was broken. Kinda of funny that the page that displays when you land on a broken link was broken. I added an opt-in form to the page to see if I…

I heard about the book on a podcast recently and since I’m a fan of the Tesla brand, I decided to get the book from the library. It’s a fascinating look into the mind of one of the most powerful brains in the world. I think he’s changed the world with his thinking about electric cars…

Today, when I was trying to figure out when we’ll be out of the bone chilling weather, I used the Siri button on my TouchBar and asked what the forecast was for the week and here’s her response: 😂
