How I Use My iPad Mini

My Problem with Writing Series

05.19.2024: iPad Pro Craze, Threads, and my new Chromebook iPad Pro Craze Since Apple's Let Loose Event, what has really gone loose, except for some love for the new iPads, is a lot of craziness about the iPad Pro's worth and place in Apple&

My Tinkering Laptop

03.06.2024: New kid, newish tech, and using ChatGPT more. To say I have a lot going on right now would be an understatement. My wife had our new baby boy at the very end of February which is what caused the delay of me writing a second Digest

Asus Zenbook 14X Review

A true competitor in an Apple premium world. After using the iPad Pro for some time and going through my Pro Computer Guilt phase, I decided that I wanted a computer that did more for me. Not in the sense that the iPad Pro couldn’t do everything, but I

iPhone Blogging

A simple process to post to my personal blog from my iPhone. I briefly mentioned this on my personal blog, Alvalog, but I wanted to create a proper blog post detailing the steps to set up a blog for posting from my iPhone. I recently migrated Techuisite from Medium to

An Update for Techuisite

Some may have noticed, but Techuisite.com has been moved from my Medium Publication to a new website hosted by Ghost. Having my own website where my Techuisite Domain lives has been something I have been thinking about, and talking about, for a while now and decided to finally make

11.12.2023: Drafts, iPad hate, and a sudden eagerness to write more. I know I keep doing this, but I have been rethinking my writing online again and have made some decisions. All of the Techuisite Posts, or posts that originate on Medium under my Techuisite Publication (Blog), are

10.27.2023: My lack of need for Apple Pencil, Kindle Review, and finding time to write is hard. Not many behind-the-scenes updates right now. Substack has been renamed to Techuisite Digest, Medium continues to host Techuisite.com, and I have a new, unfinished, home for my personal blog, Alvalog.

My Return To The iPad-Only Life

I have officially transferred back to the iPad Pro from a Mac. Since writing A Writers iPad Lust, I have used the iPad Pro 11-inch with the Magic Keyboard almost daily. I wrote a couple posts on Medium and Substack, some minor code on my landing page, techuisite.github.co,
