It’s time for my annual rundown of personal tech picks! Every year or so, I like to share my current personal preferences when it comes to technology.

Since my recent posts about tech and operating systems, I thought it might be fun to elaborate on my personal tech choices. So, for those who might be curious, as of January 2016, this is what I use: Computer Platform: Windows PC – Even though I have nothing but great things to say about Apple hardware. I find their prices...
After a few weeks of considering my options, I decided that switching back to a windows PC would be the best bet for me. The same power at more than half the cost was simply too tempting. So I sold my iMac and built a new PC from the ground up. For the time, my new PC was quite the...
