I am having fun playing with the Note 9 and its unique stylus. Take the stylus out of the phone, and several options pop up, such as note taking, editing, and other great functions. I am not an artist; but, a person with artistic talent could have a lot of fun drawing of the huge 6.4 inch screen. But, by far, my favorite feature, given that I am a serious amateur photographer, is the ability…
One of the scariest things that happened to me in the hospital when I was in for heart surgery was the nightly wake up calls by nurses who didn’t want to be working late. Blood gathering, pill swallowing, in the middle of the night are not my favorite things. While these robot nurses are primarily records delivery devices, they are a scary precursor to a future in which human nursing is changed forever. What happens…

Five Reasons Vinyl Is Making a Comeback. The day the music died is the day lossless compression was invented. Music in digital form lives in some virtual universe where it can’t be touched, felt or caressed by longing fingers and hands. I have two turntables, and hundreds of vinyl records in my office. In fact, since my office is pretty tiny, the records take up almost half of the total space. I love the…

Amazon.com: Insignia NS-43DF710NA19 43-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV HDR – Fire TV Edition: Electronics. I have used TVs as computer monitors for years. They require some compromises, and some tricky placement and settings; but, I do all my daily computing using them, and love it. Using a cheap HDTV as a computer monitor is not for gamers; but, for business and word processing, they are really cheap and work great. You probably…

The Equifax and Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandals, coupled with the proliferation of state privacy and security laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)—as well as proposed laws in Washington and Massachusetts—have increased demand for a comprehensive national privacy law.  Last week, the Senate announced plans to hold hearings to discuss a proposed privacy law.  The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has just released its report recommending that Congress develop comprehensive privacy legislation to enhance…
