REVIEW – Did you ever play Connect Four when you were a kid? It was a vertical game where you dropped checker-like disks between the plastic layers to arrange them in rows of 4.

ARTICLE – A week or two ago, one of my Twitter followers sent me a DM asking if we could do a team article showing the home screens on our phones. He had enjoyed the article that we did back in 2018 and wanted an update. I said that was a great idea and put …

REVIEW – Who could have predicted that we’d need to/should be wearing a mask whenever we venture from our homes? Well, here we are. Thanks COVID. I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of problems getting a mask that fits well and doesn’t fog my glasses. That’s why I was interested in …
