All Apple All Day

Well. That was easy.

Today saw the release of tvOS 9.1 and watchOS 2.1 - that's usually boring news, but today is a bit different, as it means a big leap forward for convergence across iOS devices. 

They said it would be done by the end of the year, and they got it done with a month to spare. According to Yahoo , Apple Music is now able as a music service on the Sonos platform!

We've been talking about the BIG project for quite a while. It's the basement remodel. And now, we're finally started. But what steps do we have to take to ensure that we end up with the iOS-enabled smart home we want?

I'm awfully late to the Apple Watch party. In fact, the Apple Watch 2 is likely right around the corner. But now I'm an Apple Watch owner. That's what happens when your 40th birthday and Black Friday fall within 48 hours of each other.

The difference between the HR44 Genie and its predecessor HR34 is similar to the difference between an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 6. Both were fantastic, game-changing devices. And the changes seem subtle - more like refinements, really. And then you take a step back and notice that absolutely everything has changed for the better.

It looks like it's finally happening!  We have been struggling with the HR34 Genie for a few months. It is running VERY slowly since the last software update.  DirecTV previously told me that I was out of luck - they wouldn't upgrade me to the HR44 or HR54. Yesterday, they relented.
