Some thoughts on the Halo Infinite Tech Test
At long last, the team at 343 industries released a technical test for Halo Infinite ahead of the launch later this year. To say I was excited to be a part of this test would be an understatement as I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this game since 2020. This test was available…

Adventures in Bourbon: Aging Part 1
If you know me at all, you would know that I am passionate about bourbon. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about the distilling process and even visited Bourbon Country a few times. I loved going to each distillery and learning how they make their brand unique and create the variety of flavors that…

The Archive: Microsoft Zune
Few devices carry the infamy like the Microsoft Zune. Microsoft’s answer to the iPod only lasted a few years before it was ultimately discontinued to help pave way for the Windows Phone. While the Zune name lived on for a little while longer (as the name of the music service), that too was retired and…

The Archive: Apple iPod
The iPod was my first Apple device. Actually, first of a couple in the iPod line and then the iPhone line, which I still use as my daily driver today. A lot has changed over the years with the iPod including the “core” iPod (and all of the other models beside the iPod Touch) being…

The Archive: Apple iPhone & iPhone 4
The Apple iPhone changed history forever. It was the first touchscreen phone that didn’t require a stylus and had a glass display. The history of the iPhone has been well documented but I wanted to talk about my experiences with the first few models which I hold near and dear to my heart. The iPhone…

Introducing Bowser
This past March, we decided to expand our family again. After Marcy and Chopper passed away, we wanted to get another dog but was unsure of the timing. With a pandemic happening and another baby on the way, I thought this would be a great time to get a puppy. I was wrong in that…

The Archive: iPod Hi-Fi
This is the first in a short series of posts around my new and blossoming “Archive” collection. Mainly comprised of technology, it is stuff that I enjoyed/had/desired in the past that I feel a connection to. Some of it was purchased used (since I may have sold it/donated it like a dummy). The iPod Hi-Fi…

Cleveland’s Natural History Museum in Black and White
We visited the Natural History Museum in Cleveland this past weekend. I put myself up to a challenge – take pictures using a different device than I normally do. I ended up on using my Essential PH-1 and only used the monochrome sensor on the camera. It picked some great detail (especially for a mobile…

What to bring to Dreamforce, 2019 Edition
Dreamforce (Salesforce’s annual conference) is rapidly approaching! I’ve been asked by a few people about what should they bring and what they should be aware about. Since I’ve been to Dreamforce 4 times so far (5th time this year), I do have a pretty good idea of what to expect 🙂 I’m quite a gearhead…

Throwback Thursday: NASA Glenn #nasasocial event
So while this is a #throwbackthursday post, I actually forgot to write about this event earlier in the year (due to having a busy summer with Obvious Coffee). So, I will write about the awesome experience I had at NASA Glenn…now. Back in March, I was one of roughly ~20 or so people invited to…

Droning Around at Patterson Fruit Farms
A couple of weeks ago we all went out to Patterson Fruit Farms in Chesterland, Ohio for their Fall Fun Fest. We also needed to get pumpkins for Halloween, so thankfully they had those there as well. What I didn’t realize was how much fun stuff they had for kids! They had 2 corn mazes,…

Extra Life 2019
Extra Life 2019 is in the books! I’ve raised over $2,200 this year (as of this writing) and I am SO CLOSE to raising $10,000 through the Extra Life program. This is my sixth year raising money for the kids. I played plenty of games this year and even had Cooper join me for some…

NASA Social at the 70th IAC
I was fortunate enough to attend the NASA social at the 70th International Astronautical Congress in Washington, D.C. this year. The IAC as they call it is held in different places every year (next year it’s in Dubai) and it is where private companies and governments get together to talk about space. So basically a…

Cleveland Indians game in a Box!
Surprisingly this wasn’t my first time in a box at Progressive Field…but it was for Cooper and Jules! On the 14th of September, we all went to Progressive Field to watch the game in a box. Jules’ parents paid for a box and invite us + Dayna + their friends. We all had a blast…
