I have seen a lot of tweets about the Sony PS4 event. My favorite was by Chris Breen (@BodyofBreen): Apple: Here’s the iProduct, it will ship next week and cost $X. Microsoft: Here’s an Apple-like product. Someday. Sony: [noisy crickets] That’s funny, and sad. In reality, the console sounds great. Not sure who at Sony [...]

I spoke to a group on Wednesday evening on the subject of ‘Time Management’. I used Keynote on my Mac (I love Keynote). Just before the presentation was set to begin, I broke one of my personal rules and decided to check out (‘experiment’) with an iPhone app. What does that have to do with [...]

“Hello. My name is Rick and I am addicted to iPhone apps.” Seriously, I have too many and continue to download more. I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone.
