There is a lot happening at the moment. I am keeping busy which is why I haven’t found time to tumble lately. I am looking for the ultimate social networking client. Turns out one has to use a lot of different things to get the social media experience I am looking for. Here’s what I [...]
Fuck — what happened to the selfie stick? I read in the herald that the palais de Versailles has banned selfie sticks. The Louvre, also inParis, hasn’t but is reviewing its photography policy constantly. I was saddened to hear this. I got a selfie stick for my birthday and find it vuseful. I also have a tripod [...]
Interesting, I was reading this book, “The Art of Social media” author forgotten. But it talks about some interesting apps. One of them is called Buffer. That’s an app that I think some folks I associate with actually need. Essentially it’s a scheduler and composer for Twitter, FaceBook and other social networks. It’s really rather [...]
I recently got back into Vine. That thing owned by twitter that lets one make video loops of between 3 and 6 seconds. I have put stuff up there before and folks seem to like it. So I thought I would renew my relationship with Vine. That’s all fine until it starts acting a little [...]

Okay today I got a phone call from a friend who asked how to use a bluetooth keyboard in IOS 8. It’s relatively easy but takes some getting used to. So I am writing this post on how to do it just so folks don’t keep asking me as someone told me and now I [...]
Just had to blog and say hhow cool I think Braille screen input is in IOS 8. It’s a very promising start. The editing functionality some braille users have come to love in mBraille will come slowly. One glitch with the built-in braille is that it doesn’t work with all the apps especially blogsy. Blogsy [...]
So it’s another update to IOS for another year. Some of it’s cool and some of it’s crappy. I like some of the cool ideas and features [“Hey Siri” anybody?] but there a lot of bugs. I updated knowing about the bugs. When I updated the phone started speaking different languages as it always does [...]
