iPad WordPress blog tips and help
With my beloved 13″ MacBook Pro Retina (early-2015) aka THE last good MacBook Pro in the shop, I’ve had to get productive on the iPad Pro I recently picked up. Probably have a whole host of things I’ve learned on making the transition to iPad that are worth sharing but top of mind is getting…

MacBook Pro Retina 13″ Early-2015 wifi problems
I think my airport card in my MacBook is dying. Making some notes here in case I find a software fix.

Microsoft Outlook on Mac.
Been using this for work lately. Crashes pretty regularly which I could live with if it would only support emacs keybindings like Mail.app does (ctrl-a for start of line, ctrl-e for end of line). Very frustrating!

HomePod with iTunes Match
I’m running stereo HomePods in our living room. Boy what a difference a second HomePod makes! Doesn’t sound as good as my beloved Vandersteens which got relocated during a recent furniture rearrangement and frankly the Homepods don’t make for great “active listening” because the imaging is way to fuzzy and nebulous but for just hanging…
