I have decided to start writing about artificial intelligence. AI is one of the most talked-about topics in technology today and it’s easy to see why. With its potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, it’s no surprise that AI is getting so much press and attention.

This past October, Microsoft and Apple announced that they are bringing iCloud Photos and Apple Music to Windows. They’ve already brought Photos, but Music will have to wait until sometime in 2023. No waiting needed, though… here’s how to get it right now, and it’s awesome!

I recently decided to try and make the switch from editing my video projects in Apple’s Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) to the very popular alternative, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Studio. I’ve used FCPX to edit over 100 episodes of my TV show, Motorz, plus over 40 episodes of Tool Talk and countless other projects over the past 15+ years.
I had high hopes that Apple’s Final Cut Pro X ... (more)
If you own a Peloton Bike or Bike+, you know that the standard water bottle holders are pretty flimsy and don’t accommodate large water bottles very well. Enter the TrubliFit Extra Large Bottle Holders – designed specifically to hold larger water bottles on the Peloton Bike. I bought one to hold my 40oz Hydroflask water battle, and here’s my review.
First impressions upon unboxing were good – the bottle holders ... (more)

At the time, I wasn’t able to grab mine. Hoping that I would get my invitation soon to secure mine, I waited for the email–which arrived this morning. My ... (more)
I finally started watching Star Wars: Andor with my daughter. We’ve both been busy and now there are 5 episodes to watch! We just finished watching the first episode and we’re both confused as hell as to what’s going on. Hopefully it will come together. Pew-pew!
It’s Friday! Fritog! Yay! Just got a haircut… it’s amazing how good it feels to have my hair cut short. I would love to get it cut every 2 weeks but it’s more like every 3-5. A few more hours before the weekend. Looking forward to 2 days of no work and a few cervezas 🍻
The Internet is losing their Stranger Things shit because of this Halloween display in Plainfield, Illinois. Dave & Aubrey Appel created a floating Max Mayfield in their front yard, paying homage to the 4th season of the Netflix hit. But nobody will say how it’s done. They aren’t saying… yet. So if you’re dying to know how I think they did it, read on.
Watch the video again and you’ll ... (more)
If you’re a fan of Tim Allen’s “The Santa Clause” movies like my family and I are, you’ll be looking forward to the upcoming “The Santa Clauses” coming November 16th on Disney+. For the record, of the first 3 movies, the first one (1994) is the absolute best. We watch it every year. The 2nd (2002) is decent and the 3rd one (2006) is skippable. Hopefully this 6-episode mini-series will ... (more)
