Quick Video on Installing the Case for iPhone 17 Pro
So, about a week ago, I posted a YouTube video about my first ever time installing an OtterBox protective screen on my new iPhone 17 Pro. I installed the case the same day. I also have a holster with belt clip. If I can do it, anyone can. My smartphone situation is pretty much back…

Installing the iPhone 17 Pro OtterBox Glass Screen Protector
I did something for the first time today, which was to install the iPhone 17 Pro OtterBox Glass screen protector (that’s a mouthful). I remember putting the screen protector on my old iPhone many years ago and it wasn’t anything fancy. There was no device to help you line things up and apply the screen…

Sena Hates Her New Smartphone!
Since we’ve gotten new smartphones, we’ve been working on getting up to speed on how to use them. More often they seem to be using us. In fact, Sena is pretty bummed about how much fiddling around with a smartphone you have to do. She used a little flip phone for years and this is…

We Finally Got New Phones
Well, we finally got new phones after several years. I think we bought the old ones from Fred Flintstone. I probably should have got a new phone after the battery swelled up in it so big it was starting to split the case. That was over 5 years ago. I have an iPhone 17 Pro…

Thoughts on Upping Your Game
Today’s essay by Dr. Moffic was pretty interesting about the role of video gaming in health for men and women. Computer games were emphasized but it got me thinking about hands-on games that you might thing of as being more old-fashioned—like cribbage. I wrote a post about cribbage already today, but there’s another angle on…

Avocado Self-Checkout Flap!
Sena told me about the Walmart avocado self-checkout flap that was reported in the news yesterday. He was having trouble with the self-checkout routine and the register showed he owed $1,300 dollars. I read the New York Post story about it, although the news agency actually got it from a Reddit social media web page.…

The Wild West Sandbox of AI Enhancement in Psychiatry!
I always find Dr. Moffic’s articles in Psychiatric Times thought-provoking and his latest essay, “Enhancement Psychiatry” is fascinating, especially the part about Artificial Intelligence (AI). I liked the link to the video of Dr. John Luo’s take on AI in psychiatry. That was fascinating. I have my own concerns about AI and dabbled with “talking”…

It’s Time for an Omelet from the Mister Chef Pizza Maker!
Sena got a Mister Chef pizza oven the other week and it works pretty slick. I’ve cooked a couple of frozen pizzas on it and it’s great for a guy like me—the guy the neighbors alert the fire department about when they get the first whiff of smoke. Some people have no sense of adventure.…

The Automatic Card Shuffler for Cribbage!
Today we used the automated card shuffler Sena ordered. I couldn’t find a company name or anything else from the box about where it’s made. We know it’s loud, but it does the job. We’re not sure why it’s so noisy. It sounds like a bunch of pots and pans falling out of the cupboard…

My Mt. Rushmore Dream
Lately, I’ve been anticipating my eventual immortalization as a sculptured stone bust on Mt. Rushmore. Hopefully, this will be fairly soon because I’m not getting any younger. Among my many inventions is the internet. Don’t believe Al Gore, although he has persuaded others about his role in the development of what I argue should properly…
