A few days after the release of it, I got mine in the mail. So what's it like, about two months in? Let's take a look. I've … Continue reading Apple Watch Ultra – Long(ish) term review
COVID isn't gone, of course, but outside of a few select countries, it does seem like nation-wide lockdowns and work-from-home mandates are behind us for now. Which begs the question, where are we with working from home? First of all, it's been rebranded. Maybe its because "work from home" has a lockdown ring to it, … Continue reading The State of The Home Office
Second in my series of semi-regular (meaning I post when I have the time) posts where I go over popular tech myths, I'll look at hydrogen as a fuel for cars. Will the hydrogen car kill the EV? And why did Elon Musk call hydrogen "a stupid technology", and refer to fuel cells as "fool … Continue reading Myth Tested: Hydrogen Will Kill The EV (Soon)
I'm going to try and post semi-regular posts that test common myths, old and new. This first one is highly topical, and has to do with mRNA vaccines, the basis of several of the leading COVID-19 vaccines.

By far the most … Continue reading Crypto is Dead, Long Live Crypto

For a long time, the company was headed by John Krafcik, who has extensive experience in the automotive industry. He is now stepping down, and leaving leadership to a … Continue reading Finding A New Way(mo)

You're unable to walk another step. You pull out your phone and place a call to the authorities, but you're a good hours hike … Continue reading Jet Packs To The Rescue!

If I was the CEO of a traditional car manufacturer, and didn't already have a solid investment in an EV strategy, I'd be calling for an emergency management meeting about now. Tesla's annual battery day was upon us this week, delayed from the spring due to the COVID-19 restrictions. And interestingly, I'm seeing as many … Continue reading A Battery (Day) of New Announcements
Trigger warning: this post will seem cold and calculating Over the past few months, we've been seeing more and more talk about one or several COVID-19 vaccines coming through, there are two juxtaposing, but equally reasonable, points of view regarding when we introduce a future vaccine to the public.
