I frequently read “The Latest in Technology from David Pogue”. David, who is a journalist for the New York Times, has a good perspective on technology, and I enjoy his writing style and respect his views.
He delivered an excellent post today — that is right up my power alley. I thought I would share it, and […]

The Godfather is remembered as a dark picture. But over the years it has become less dark than intended.
The opening scene of the best-picture Oscar winner is the ultimate example. Emerging from shadow is the face of Bonasera (Salvatore Corsitto), the father who asks Don Corleone (Marlon Brando) for a favor on the day of […]

David Pogue from the New York Times coined a new term that I thought was quite clever.
He wrote a piece titled “Digital Life for Analog Keepsakes” in the New York Times and participated in a follow up satire piece on CNBC.
According to David, “Millions of baby boomers today live in fear of a diagnosis of AFLS. […]

I flew out to Washington, DC last week for a segment on Retirement Living TV’s Daily Cafe program. It’s a weekday two-hour show that covers just about anything that would be of interest to the 50+ crowd. It services a Comcast and Direct TV audience of millions on the eastern seaboard.
It was a perfect fit for […]
Last summer, if you Googled “home movie transfer,” you wouldn’t have found many references online. A few vendor names might have popped up, but very few articles in major publications.

So it’s interesting that Consumer Reports, the self-proclaimed guide to […]
