Technology During the Pandemic Era

Now that we’re a month into it, I definitely have some observations and thoughts relating to my own personal technology usage in the pandemic age. It’s very interesting, what’s become important and functional for me personally and what has not.

Apple Watches and iPhones

So, it’s kind of become my thing to “review” significant new Apple announcements. Since there really isn’t any announcement that they make that’s more significant than iPhones and Apple Watch, here it goes.

Run Streak: Four Years!

Maybe I shouldn’t be too overly optimistic because it is pouring rain and I still have two more days to go, but should I complete a one mile run on Sunday morning, that will mark the fourth consecutive year of my running streak.
