If there is one line of products with which I have been totally enamored it is the Sonos system I purchased a bit over a year ago. To recall my experience with Sonos: I had long been interested in the company and their wireless audio system, but I had never actually seen or heard one [...]

NeatReceipts Scanner and Software Package Review
Last July we reviewed the NeatDest scanner and software system from Neat. (Read the review.) Here’s how I began the review One of the keys to Apple’s remarkable success with their iOS devices is the fact that they control both the hardware and the software side of things. Good software is nice to have. So [...]
Fix It Up: Kate’s Adventure Mac Game Review
Their have been three entries in the ‘Fix It Up’ time-management casual game franchise from G5 Entertainment. The first game was called Fix It Up: Kate’s Adventure, which I reviewed here. I had some issues with the strategic approach of the game that kept me from fully enjoying it, but the two later games I [...]
Hell Has Frozen Over; Elana Is Getting an iPhone
Hell has frozen over and here’s a little video to go along with it. This video has a great deal of meaning today because, in the last 72 hours, my wife Elana went from having neither an iPad nor an iPhone to having both. Yes, “another one bites the dust” as Elana is pulled further [...]
Reflection for Mac Puts Your iOS Device on the Big Screen
It is rare for an application to make me go “Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!” but the Mac app Reflections just had me do exactly that. Seriously, this small utility is one of the best things to come along in quite some time. Be aware that it is only useful if you use a Mac and [...]
Sonos’ New Controller App Now Available
We brought word last week that Sonos would be releasing new controllers for both Mac OS X and Windows computers. We had a chance to quietly check it out in advance of its release and I can tell you it is fantastic. Seriously, it looks great, as exponentially faster than the old version and it [...]
Sonos Controller Update for Mac and Windows on the Way
Sonos got a fair bit of cash from me last year. I got a review loaner system and, within a day, had ordered my own. I now have Sonos sound in the kitchen, living room, den, bedroom, master bathroom and my study. Yeah, I went a bit overboard, but Sonos is one of those things [...]
OS X Mountain Lion; Yeah, It’s a Big Deal
Mike posted word the other day that Apple outed their next operating system, OS X Mountain Lion and gave it a late summer arrival date. Yes, just as Apple Computer lost the “Computer” from its name as it began to shift its company positioning, they have now dropped the “Mac” from Mac OS X. Mountain [...]

Quick Tip: Transcribe Audio and Video for FREE
Have you ever had a YouTube video or audio segment you wanted to transcribe but didn’t have the patience to sit and manually type out what the speaker/s said? I ran into just such a situation yesterday and, instead of it taking hours for me to listen, pause, type, listen, pause, type etc I was [...]
Evernote for Mac Updated With Improved Note Panel, Tables, Checklists, and More
I was pretty critical of Evernote back in December when they released some iOS apps that just fell flat. I mean, a special app for food logs or exchanging personal information? They called it Evernote Hello, I called it Evernote NO! and I was pretty clear that Evernote needed to put their energies into their core [...]
Mental Case Mac and iOS, a Study Tool That’s Good for Everything from Tech to Bar Mitzvah!
Last week Apple worked to make the iPad an even more important educational tool than it already is. The textbooks and their own publishing app Apple set the stage for some really huge increases in iPad-in-education adoption rates. The iPad as study tool is nothing new and one of the best educational apps for it [...]
How to Keep Up-to-Date and Share Information with Colleagues
The other day one of my Rabbinic colleagues asked what “system” I use in the synagogue to keep track of all of the various lifecycle “events” that take place in the community as well as make sure that all of my colleagues have as accurate and up-to-date information as possible. I wrote up my answers [...]
