Apple AirPods Max Are Expensive
Even when AirPods Max are open box, they are still not worth it for me. Here is why…

Upgrading Ram on Late 2015 iMac Retina
Back in 2017 I purchased a refurbished late 2015 iMac MK482LL. It’s still going on strong for what I use it for – mainly development. It came with a 27″ screen, 2TB Fusion drive, and an Intel i5 3.3GHz quad-core CPU. The Fusion drive truly makes a difference and the 2TB model has a larger…
Traded in iPad Mini 4 for 6th Gen iPad
Apple and Best Buy have a good trade in value for iPad Mini 4 – but not for long. I took advantage of it and upgraded it to the 6th gen iPad (2018).
iPad Pro 2017 MP6G2LL
I have always looked at tablets as a gaming device. I have yet to use them to be productive. Being a programmer I can’t use it to develop anything, at least I have yet to figure out a workflow. I have owned several tablets, both Android and iOS. I can’t get past just playing games…
Refurbished Late 2015 iMac MK482LL

Using USB SSD on 2014 MacMini
Best Buy dropped the Mac Mini price by $100. Open-box versions got an additional 10% off. So the low-end MGEM2LL/A version was as low as $355. I had a $40 gift card, so I figured why not. I needed an Apple desktop at home anyway to replace a broken one from 2007 MB138LL/A. This Mac…
Upgrading from iPhone 6 Plus to iPhone 7 Plus
It’s been two long years since I got a new iPhone. It’s been a year since I bought a new cell phone (Nexus 6P). I’ve been bouncing back and forth between iOS and Android and now I’ll be committing to the Apple ecosystem – well mostly. What’s new? The antenna line on the back, below…
Developing on OSX Yosemite
I shared how I configured Windows 10 for my web development needs. In this post, I will share how I configured OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. I will be using Homebrew to install everything I need. This is a great package manager available on OSX that’s similar to apt-get on Debian and yum on Red Hat. So…
