I’ve worked from home for over 26 years now but it’s not easy. This free eBook has some good advice on how to manage it successfully.

I think you’ll see other studios doing this. It won’t last past this summer but for those of us practicing “social distancing” and not wanting to go to a movie theater, this is welcome news.

This and several other questions answered on Apple’s page.

Congratulations to everyone at Apple. They should be proud to dominate such a list. But I’m a bit miffed that the original iMac didn’t make the list.

If you’re a fellow NCAA Men’s Basketball fan, no March Madness this year is incredibly disappointing. But here are 16 classic games to help you get through it.

I’ve often wondered how skyscrapers in dense areas get removed.

Having been to several of these museums, I can tell you it’s not the same online but it’s fun to “wander around” and see some famous art in its “natural” setting.

There are some really good, interesting movies on this site.

In attendance at that party? Tim Cook and Eddy Cue.

Vegas is starting to close casinos.

Another example of companies doing what’s best. Good to see.
