The Time for a Gaming-Focused Apple TV is Now

Logitech Slim Folio Pro Review

I love my 2020 iPad Pro. Last year, I decided to upgrade the 9.7″ iPad Pro that I’d been using for almost the last four years as my daily tablet to the new 11″ 2020 model. Between the tablet, the pencil, and a keyboard folio, it’s been a bit pricey, but I don’t regret it. […]

Podcasts Worth Listening to In the New Year

With the new year comes New Year’s resolutions. I personally haven’t made one in a few years as I never tend to stick with it. Really, most people don’t, I believe.
