1984 - snow white
I have a hazy, potentially false memory of a computer hiding in my dad’s closet before our family workstation arrived. In my mind's eye, I can still picture playing a game featuring a little cursor turtle, though I’ve never been able to find any hard evidence to prove that mystery machine actually existed. What I do know for certain is that sometime right after my fifth birthday in 1984, both the revolutionary new Apple Macintosh and the sleek Apple IIc were sitting side-by-side on the showroom ...

1996 - what's next
On Dec. 20, 1996, Apple announced that it had purchased NeXT Computer: When Apple CEO Gil Amelio hosted a press conference in Cupertino's Garden Room to announce the $429 million cash-and-stock acquisition of NeXT, I was right in the middle of my senior year of high school. At the time, my digital world was entirely defined by Windows 95, split between a generic home desktop and a basic laptop. In fact, I hadn't actually touched an Apple product since using an Apple IIc back in the mid-1980s. Ye...

Midlife iPhone overhaul
Last month marked three years since I bought my iPhone 13 Mini. Unfortunately, it was starting to show its age a little - the battery was not holding charge very well, and the charger port was being awkward, which exacerbated the charging issue. I quite like the size of the iPhone 13 Mini, and I'm...

App selection criteria
The last app I bought through Apple's app store was a client for my Audiobookshelf instance and this reminded me why I'd built a Navidrome client . I wanted to use the web application as a PWA, but Apple doesn't support continuous audio playback in PWAs or Safari on iOS. Audio plays, but it never advances to the next track.
