The Boys of Summer
Ah, our last episode... the boys tanned, toned, fresh off vacation, and ready to go. There's plenty of good stuff in that episode and your best bet is to go get an earful to hear what we think about all of our current gear. (Sad trombone for Tom's …
You've Been Pwned! (A followup to the episode)
You may have noted my ire in the last episode, such that Tom decided to add an EXPLICIT rating because, I don't know... I said "pissed," I said "eff," I exist? (We can ask Tom at some later date, because I know I should get to the bottom of it.) Ex…
Three Evernote Alternatives for Apple Users
Evernote was once the 🐐 of note-taking apps, but years of mismanagement took a toll. In November 2022, Bending Spoons acquired the company and has made some improvements, but it recently raised prices dramatically and severely limited the free tie…
About the Hosts
Jeff Battersby
Writer, actor, man-about-tech. Okay, okay, I know I'm supposed to tell you more than those three things, but what's to say? Not much. I've been doing tech stuff for longer than I care to admit, managing IT for companies small and large, writing for pubs such as Macworld, MacUser, yada, yada, boring, boring. I built my own house, I once published a newspaper in the town where I live. I grew up in the Bay Area and now live in New York. I love theatre, I act, I stage manage, I usher, I might work on a set or two. I read voraciously, but very slowly for someone who reads as much as I do. I've written plays, short stories, and I might be working on a novel. (I mean, who isn't, right?) I love all kinds of music and listen to it almost all the time. I can throw, kick, swing a bat, hammer a nail with either foot or hand. I once asked my mom if they'd forced me to write with my right hand. They hadn't (I guess that's a Catholic school thing) and I am equally bad at writing with either hand. I'm the father of three amazing children, my proudest accomplishment, and one I can't take too much credit for, because they were amazing from the jump. That's me. That's it. What more is there to say? Nothing. So I'll stop now.
