The fork in the road: 03/01/2015 - 04/01/2015
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The fork in the road. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. It's a bigger world. A brief musing on where life has taken me:. Back as recently as 2011 I wasn't all that social. Sure, we had our Halloween party most years. And sure, we had a few families that we hung out with somewhat. But mainly my social life was lived vicariously through Jane. Hell, I didn't even really hang out with anyone at my 25th high school reunion back in 2009. What happened since then? I still may do a longform once in a while, but we'll see.

The fork in the road. Saturday, April 21, 2012. Why I will (probably) be a movie pirate. OK, here's the scoop. I'm really looking forward to The Avengers. I mean, highlight of the summer movie season, willing to go to a theater for it-level. Which I don't normally do. I watched the two Iron Man. Movies, and they were a blast. But I hadn't been big on the Marvel franchise in general. But now that Avengers. In late March and really liked it. So now that leaves me with the second Hulk. After I watched Thor.

The fork in the road: WWDC 2012 predictions (early)
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2012/05/wwdc-2012-predictions-early.html
The fork in the road. Thursday, May 24, 2012. WWDC 2012 predictions (early). So I'm not going to pay attention to the last-minute rumors this year because of my vacation plans (do I really want to do Apple tea-leaf reading while I'm on vacation? I don't think so.). And next week is a holiday week. So here, about two weeks early, is my series of predictions for WWDC 2012, with percentages and explanations:. Features of iOS 6:. Nope They'll be cryptic. Google Maps replaced as default mapping engine: 100%&#...

The fork in the road: Greenpeace - looks like stupid works?
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2012/05/greenpeace-looks-like-stupid-works.html
The fork in the road. Sunday, May 06, 2012. Greenpeace - looks like stupid works? First of all, I'm not writing this because I make much of my living from supporting Apple products. Let that be clear! Not to mention in the case of Apple, they've been investing in solar arrays and Bloom Box fuel cells to provide much of their power. Is it Apple's fault that Duke Energy operates a lot of coal plants? Would Apple be happy if Duke used some wind turbines? There was an error in this gadget.

The fork in the road: Blackberry 10 - enough? (spoiler alert - no)
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2013/01/blackberry-10-enough.html
The fork in the road. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Blackberry 10 - enough? Spoiler alert - no). Surprisingly, there's no dedicated ringer off switch (a possible inconvenience for many). Battery life in early testing, as I mentioned above, seems on the poor side, though hopefully software improvements will help that by the time they ship. So it sounds great, Josh! What do you think will happen? Is Blackberry back in the saddle again? Well, let me answer that simply. No. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The fork in the road: Lance Armstrong banned: Big Whoop.
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2012/08/lance-armstrong-banned-big-whoop.html
The fork in the road. Friday, August 24, 2012. Lance Armstrong banned: Big Whoop. So Lance Armstrong dropped his battle with the USADA last night, and as a result they intend to strip him of his Tour titles. All I can say to it at this point is: Big Freaking Deal. Maybe I'm a Lance apologist, but here's my take on it. Does that mean I think Lance Armstrong was clean? I never did drugs (it wouldn't have helped me at that low level), but the guys ahead of me at the high amateur/low pro level?

The fork in the road: Looking ahead to the fall's Apple goodness
http://jturiel.blogspot.com/2013/09/looking-ahead-to-falls-apple-goodness.html
The fork in the road. Tuesday, September 03, 2013. Looking ahead to the fall's Apple goodness. Yes, I don't post here often anymore. Sorry about that. There's only so many places one can spread their social media wings and this is now down below my two Facebook pages, my Twitter feed, and my Tumblr. First, coming September 10th…. Not a fingerprint sensor (I think) but local speech recognition so that dictation can be more continuous and won't need to send every paragraph to the Internet, it'll work in re...

The fork in the road. Monday, June 11, 2012. So how did I do? Well, of course I got iOS 6. That was a bunny. I was right on July for Mac OS 10.8, too. And on dictation support. Maps, Siri, and multiple signatures in iOS 6? To be seen as iOS 6 matures and as the sessions go this week. Still expecting it. Yep, the whole laptop line was replaced. The new "super retina MacBook Pro" is sweet. Update to the Mac Pro? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. My old high school friend, Steve.
