Apple announced a number of new things at their World Wide Developer Conference on Monday. One of those things is IOS7. I watched Engadget’s live blog of the presentation with interest from two perspectives — the way I use my iPhone and the way Mr. L uses his (which are … Continue reading →
Technology has a lot to offer a writer these days — almost too much. It’s easy to get fooled by all the tools available and forget to just write. It used to be a writer needed a pen and a notebook or, more recently, a typewriter, paper, replacement ribbons, and … Continue reading →
