    #88: WitGlass Smorgasbord for September 23, 2018

    In this episode, I discuss Manhattan cocktail recipes, my recent experiences with the Mimo app designed for learning to code, a recently-created-and-soon-to-be-revealed WitGlass Playlist, Evernote’s uselessness, Serena Williams, and Brett Kavanaugh. It’s a doozy.

            • WitGlass Unfiltered #86: Matilda Jane Huntington, Welcome to the Family

              It’s been only two weeks since the last episode, so I’m warming back up. Today I talk about two—yes, two—small lot coffees from Trader Joe’s, and I delve into more about why I despise Evernote. My complaints about Evernote may seem small, but I believe that in reality, they affect the entire service experience. I provide a brief teaser about how to fix America’s dismal education system. And I offer an exciting announcement for our family.

              #84: Emma Jane Huntington, R.I.P.

              It’s been quite a while since my last podcast episode was published, but it’s time to begin again. This episode brings back my CoffeeTalk segment with this year’s version of a wonderful “Honey Processed” limited release coffee. It also briefly covers the recent Evernote app update. Finally, it offers a sad announcement from our family to yours.

                  #78: Don’t Forget to Smile

                  No matter how dark things look, don’t forget that evil has existed in every age, every generation. The great evil politician, the overweening boss, the big fish in the little pond (and the big fish in the vast ocean)—they all shit like the rest of us. Remember that we still fight the evil resident in our own hearts, and there is always hope for tomorrow.

                    #77: More iPhone X and Apple Chipset Thoughts

                    Apple hosted a big event on Tuesday. Have I mentioned that? I offered some initial, visceral responses to the event and the devices it announced. In this episode, I continue the discussion, adding more measured responses to the visceral ones already offered. I discuss the top-notch on the face of the iPhone X, the advanced power of the new A11 Bionic chipset, and John Gruber’s thoughtful piece on Apple’s iPhone event.

                            In this episode, I talk about the major products announced in Apple’s latest event: AppleWatch Series 3, AppleTV 4K, iPhone 8, and iPhone X. I begin with a discussion of gin martinis, David Wondrich, and cocktail recipes.

                              #75: Apple and the Upcoming iPhone Event of 2017

                              This episode follows on the heels of Episode 75, and I discuss some important technology issues related to Apple’s upcoming iPhone event tomorrow (12 September 2017), in which Apple is expected to announce its latest round of new iPhones, potentially presenting two completely new designs. I also discuss again the importance of Artificial Intelligence and Siri to the future of Apple and computing in general.

                                iCloud and Siri are the heart of Apple’s future. In this episode, I discuss Apple’s upcoming event, and I focus on the tie that binds it all together: Artificial Intelligence (and Machine Learning). At one point, I even compare Apple Maps to Google Maps. I also discuss the importance of offline dictation using Siri.
