The best in-ear headphones around $100
Not everyone is a fan of the Apple Earpods and the new Airpods. I’m certainly not. They never fit properly. That’s not to say they are bad – they just aren’t for me. I’m a much bigger fan of these kind of softish in-ear headphones. For me, they create a better seal inside my ears. They also fit much better under my motorcycle helmet.

Steel beam from World Trade Center en route to Gander
Not enough Americans know the story of Gander (similar things happened in Halifax and Vancouver). On that awful day, and in the awful days afterwards, my fellow Canadians stepped up to help. I’m could not be more proud.
Men are sharing selfies to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health
This is a great idea. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do is to talk openly as I can about my battles with depression. I’ve taken a lot of crap for it from jerks on the internet but I’ve gotten more support from complete strangers than I ever could have imagined and I’m very grateful for that. If you’re suffering, reach out to family, friends, and even complete strangers for help. There’s no shame in it.
Apple won’t be announcing initial iPhone 7 sales
This will send the Tech Media into a tizzy but, as Apple says, they already know what their sales numbers will be.
No, iPhone 6s and 6s Plus cases won’t fit the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
Bummer.
The $10,000 golden Apple Watch is no more
The gold Apple Watch was an interesting experiment. Apple will never say but I’d be curious to know how many they actually sold.
Why paper cuts hurt so much
Great look at the science behind what seem to be the most painful cuts of all.
All cameras are good cameras
I tell my students to not worry about the camera they have. Anything bought in the last five years will be a good camera. Learn how to take pictures, how to create images and learn what you like to shoot. Then worry about buying a camera that fits.
Inside iPhone 7: Why Apple killed the headphone jack
Another good look at Apple’s reasoning behind killing the headphone jack.

Apple just posted the videos to their Youtube page
Siri, Apple Watch unlocking, and more comes with macOS Sierra on Sept 20th
For a guy like me who sits in front of a computer all day, every day, this is a bigger and more interesting deal to me than the new hardware announced today.
iPhone 7: why Apple just abolished the headphone jack
This is the most controversial part of Apple’s announcements today. But they signalled, very clearly, that this is what they think the future will be. Keep this in mind when, next year, they offer wireless charging.
Apple reinvents the wireless headphone with AirPods
If you liked the original Apple ear pods, you’ll probably like these. But sadly for me, they never fit in my ears properly. And, at $159, they won’t fit my wallet either.
Apple introduces iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus, the best, most advanced iPhone ever
For the dual-lens camera alone I say, shut up and take my money.
Introducing BeatsX: new premium wireless, bluetooth earphones from Beats by Dr. Dre
I can’t wait for the reviews of these. The Air pods are a non-starter for me.
Pokémon Go and Mario
These two games are going to be a lot of fun!
Apple & Nike launch the perfect running partner, Apple Watch Nike+
This Nike partnership is weird and interesting. Many runners complain about so many changes in the program and that it’s often confusing. But Apple and Nike keep trying.

The adjective word order we all follow without realizing it
I read this on Twitter over the weekend and couldn’t wrap my mind around it. As Kottke says, “Did anyone learn this in school? I sure didn’t. How do we all know then?” Good question.
Stanford professor releases free university-level digital photography course
The course is a little heavy on the tech but definitely interesting and informative.
An oral history of “We Built This City,” the worst song of all time
If you play this song in my presence, I will smash whatever device this sound from hell is coming out of.
Apple’s self-inflicted naming dilemma
Segall thinks more about this stuff than I do (and knows a hell of a lot more about it) so it doesn’t bother me nearly as much but he makes a good point. The S models always have had the perception of being “not as good”.
Rare video shows elephants ‘mourning’ matriarch’s death
Sad but remarkable video. I don’t know if the elephants are grieving in the human sense but they are certainly acknowledging the passing of their matriarch.
