Yes. Probably. I have many needs for a desktop computer in much the same way I drive a pickup truck. Do most people need a desktop computer or even a laptop … or a pickup truck? No. The new iPads are amazing and iOS 11 is a game changer when it comes to getting things done with a “big iPhone”. For seven years, I worked as …
I don’t think the price of the new iPhone 8 / Pro / X / Edition / whatever-its-called is going to put a damper on the demand: Chief among the changes for the new iPhones: refreshed versions, including a premium model priced at around $999, according to people briefed on the product, who asked to …

This piece is originally from Dec 19, 2016, but interesting to revisit as we enter the home stretch of 2017 (and what a year it has been): In 2017, we will start to see that change. After years of false starts, voice interface will finally creep into the mainstream as more people purchase voice-enabled speakers …
Pretty staggering July stats from Wordfence regarding attempts to log in to WordPress installs with guessed user / passwords. People still don’t use secure passwords (or more preferably a password manager)… The average number of daily brute force attacks increased 21% from last month, which was up substantially from May.

I get this question quite often, especially from churches and non-profits: “What time of the day should we post to our Facebook page to make the most impact?” It’s a tough question to answer given the number of variables and because every church/group has a different set of Facebook followers and likes. You’ll find a …
Don’t use Google Images as a database for your social media posts, even if you’re a small business, non-profit or (worse) church.
