Once upon a time, this used to be me when a new gadget, gizmo, or in this case, iPhone/iOS came out:
"I MUST HAVE IT FOR MYSELF AND BE THE VERY FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE THIS AMAZING NEW THING!"
It took a while, but I’ve learned my lesson.
Along with the iPhone 5S and 5c, iOS7 was released last week, and I’ve been really quiet about it. Why? Because I waited this long to download it and give it a test run.
From the moment last summer that I first discovered the music-streaming app Songza, I fell in love with everything about it. It offered expert music playlists that were commercial free, and curated to fit exactly the mood I was in.
The latest version — Songza 3.0 is even better, which is hard to believe and yet it is true.
Last week, scary and sad news was constantly coming out of every media outlet available. There was no avoiding what was going on, unless you completely shut yourself off from the TV, radio, computer, and phone. Which, at one point, is exactly what I did.
It’s already been a year since Steve Jobs passed away. For me, the day he died was one of those moments where I’ve been able to recall where I was at exactly the time I heard the news.
I was sitting at my desk, working, surrounded by Apple products. I read the news on my Mac at the same time as my iPhone alerted me to a breaking news update of his passing.
