Power Play – A Review
Escapism has many forms, and I can whole-heartedly recommend this next one. With the privilege of a free Advanced Reader Copy (ARC), I thoroughly enjoyed the book, Power Play, by Cheri Baker. Swiping the e-pages as fast as my little brain could absorb the words, I hit 100% in just over a few days. And what follows is my 99.9% spoiler-free review. I paused my video game for this.

Game On And Stress Less
Life, especially in 2020, is tough at times. Yeah, that might be the understatement of the year! People have different ways of dealing with stress.

And it’s quite possibly the coolest new gadget this year. Unfortunately, it will cost all your dollars. Continue reading Pay More With Surface Duo
Hatching Twitter Reviewed
Ah, Twitter. A cultural centerpiece for controversial “conversation.” Or a minuscule micro-blog masquerading as major social-media. Whichever. Don’t “@” me. #justsayin Continue reading Hatching Twitter Reviewed
Full-Time Split-Screen
Imagine a tablet in split-screen mode, one app on the left, one on the right. And imagine the tablet defaults to this multi-tasking mode and sometimes allows an app to go full-screen. Now imagine that tablet folds in half to show you one app, and then it fits into your pocket. This is one way to think about what the new Surface Duo is. Made … Continue reading Full-Time Split-Screen
