I’ll most likely keep and pay for my Flickr account but many of you may not. Here’s one way to get your photos off of the service.

What a great story. I still remember my first time navigating New York City. This small town kid from Nova Scotia was terrified. I can’t imagine how scary it must be for the blind and their guide dogs.

My wife and I test drove a Tesla Model X over the weekend and came away impressed with the technology overall. The sales guy showed us a version of “Navigate on Autopilot” and it was very cool.

As a proud Nova Scotianer, I feel no shame in saying, categorically, that Newfoundlanders are the nicest people in Canada. I was honoured to have been screeched-in many years ago in a bar in St John’s and highly recommend it to anyone who visits this lovely province.

Mann looks at the new iPad Pro from the same POV I would – how is it for a professional photographer working in the field? After reading the review, I really want a new iPad for my photography workshop in Lisbon next March.

I’m not smart enough to understand much of what this article is about but the majority of the reviews of this new iPad reference how incredibly powerful the A12X system on a chip is.

What an incredible collection to peruse and use.

Really interesting thread from a guy who knows a lot about this stuff.

There are moments in this video that literally made me queasy. I’ve been a fan of Honnold for years and I can’t wait to see “Free Solo” in the theater. This just screams for an IMAX release.

Fall is Polar Bear season in northern Manitoba, and throughout November you can check out on a live cam what they are up to in the Wapusk National Park.

MacStadium got big props from Apple at their last event and deservedly so.

Along with the lifted embargo on the new iPads, the reviews of the new MacBook Air are rolling in as well.

The embargo has lifted on the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro and all the usual suspects have posted.

This is the last (hopefully) in a long string of awful Fantastic Four movies.

This is a controversial decision but, if it works out the way SmugMug wants it to, it will fundamentally change the kind of site Flickr is and how it is used.

A lot of my fellow Canadians qualify for this class action. You’re not likely to get a lot of money out of it but every little bit helps.

Unless you were involved in the military, I bet the first time most of us heard about callsigns was from the movie Top Gun. We just called them nicknames. I’m lucky – with the last name I have, the only possible nickname/callsign I could have is Kong.

This is brilliant.

There’s a very helpful graphic attached to this post to really give you a good sense of the specs and offerings.

This will be an interesting problem for many of us. I’m in the market for a new device and am torn between these two new offerings. What would push me over the edge to the iPad Pro would be for Adobe to (soon!) announce the full version of Lightroom is available for the iPad Pro, as they announced for Photoshop.

Apple introduced a new Mac mini, MacBook Air and two new iPad Pros earlier today in New York. Dave and I talk about all the new products and the event.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who watched today’s video and no, this is not Apple being “greedy”.

This might be my next laptop if I can get past the lack of ports.

This Mac is mini in size only – everything has been upgraded and updated, including the price.

I so want one of these new iPad Pros.

Being in New York seems to have given the event an extra special energy.

Love this. Jump to the page, type in a sequence of words or letters, and the site will generate a mnemonic to help you remember the words.

Type in the planet names, or the guitar string open notes (E A D G B E), anything you like. Fun!

Between Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Defender, I lost a significant portion of my childhood cash to video arcades. And I loved it.

I received my iPhone XR this week and it is a fascinating device. Apple loaded it with advanced features with very little compromise. Dave and I talk about my first impressions.

As awful as it is, as much as it may make you want to pull your own ears off, “The Monster Mash” is the quintessential Halloween song.
