My Return to the Orchard

By | October 10, 2013

A few months ago I shared my thoughts on the BlackBerry Z10 and now look like a fool since I am eating my words a few months later.

My Age Milestone

By | October 29, 2012

A part of me doesn’t feel 30 mostly because I thought things would be different, like suddenly you reach that age and things change. I probably felt the same way about turning 18 or… Read More »
