#6 Goodbye iOS, Hello Android & Google Pixel 2 XL
#6 Goodbye iOS, Hello Android & Google Pixel 2 XL
In episode #6 I say goodbye to iOS. Really, the decision came down to two things. The first was a matter of principle. Basically, I don’t feel comfortable supporting the company that is pushing the industry in ways I don’t agree with, which I touch on in the episode. The second, arguably more important reason, was because, well, Apple kind of forced me to leave. I’ll give you a hint: iOS 11. If…

#5: Google Pixel 2 Day, State of VR & AR
#5: Google Pixel 2 Day, State of VR & AR
Today’s episode marks a return of the excitement for the smartphone cycle. I was a little worried at first, but this year at least, I feel like the best device was saved for last. My excitement about the Pixel and Pixel XL phones really has nothing to do with the hardware, awesome as it is. I mean, let’s face it, we are firmly at the point of returns so diminished you’d be hard pressed to find a…

My biggest question for Marvel’s Inhumans after two episodes is who are the good guys again?
My biggest question for Marvel’s Inhumans after two episodes is who are the good guys again?
So I’ve watched the first two episodes of the new ABC series, the latest comic book series to make it to the big screen…or small screen, Marvel’s Inhumans. Now, while I understand I am only two episodes in, but something didn’t sit well with me up until the end of the second episode. Now, before I get into it, I have to say there is a chance my views and opinions are certainly subject to change,…

#4 Returning To That Thing You Love
#4 Returning To That Thing You Love
Last week we had a bit of a heart to heart. Well, as close to a heart to heart as one can have when speaking to oneself. Despair not, for I am not all doom and gloom and purple prose. This episode I will go into when you’ll know it’s time to go back to that love. You may also find that you’ve grown beyond that thing that was once the object of your passions–and that’s okay too.
I do have a quick…

03: Letting Go of Your Love
03: Letting Go of Your Love
This episode of the G Musings Podcast is for the creatives out there. Really, it’s for anyone that has pursued something with every bit of their effort, perhaps even for many years. That was me with my writing. A major lesson I’ve learned this past year is the importance of letting your love go.
I had been working on my craft every day for years, but sometime last year I realized I had hit a…

Death Note Movie Review
Death Note Movie Review
[This review contains minor spoilers] So I finally watched Death Note, and it was okay. I know, it’s an opinion that might leave you wanting more—and that’s exactly how I felt when Death Note finished. While I do enjoy anime when I happen to catch it, I generally don’t go out of my way searching the stuff out like I did when I was younger. I also didn’t catch the anime series this film was based…

02: iPhone X Sticker Shock
02: iPhone X Sticker Shock
I gave it a day to let the news from the Apple keynote settle in. I posted this article on the G Musingssite just hours ahead of the event. It was based on months of rumors heading into the big day. After all of the announcements, I had some pretty strong feelings about the Fall 2017 Apple lineup, but I waited to share my thoughts until I could let the information really soak in before I shared…

Is the iPhone X worth it?
Is the iPhone X worth it?
At $999 for the base 64gb version, and a whopping $1,149 for the 256gb version, is the iPhone X worth it? That’s a bit of a relative question, of course. Because honestly, from a strictly practical stand point, it’s worth the price if people are willing to cough up the dough for it. And we all know that many, many people will. But now that Apple has finally revealed the specs, and we are no…

I Will Switch Back To Android If The iPhone Doesn't Justify The Price Tag
I Will Switch Back To Android If The iPhone Doesn’t Justify The Price Tag
The Apple event is just a couple of hours away as I type this, and I am usually super excited. Hell, even on the years where I didn’t own an iPhone, I’ve always loved the buzz in the air. But what I feel today is a general sense of foreboding. I hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling Apple is about to shift the industry in the wrong direction. I will switch back to Android if the rumored “Pro”…

2017 Scrivener Review - Still The Best Writing App for Novelists
2017 Scrivener Review – Still The Best Writing App for Novelists
The bottom line is, in 2017, Scrivener is still the best writing app for novelists. I’ve used Scrivener for about five years now, and I love it. Scrivener is the very best writing app for novelists on the market, in my humble opinion. It has a clever way of presenting just the intuitive basics to get you started, with a focused mode that drops the rest of your desktop and UI away at just the…

Tyrion Will Betray Dany
Tyrion Will Betray Dany
Needless to say, spoilers ahead. Do not read if you are either not fully caught up in the series, or you are the complete opposite of me and don’t give a crap about spoilers. With that disclaimer aside, let’s get on with why Tryion will betray Dany:
But wait, will Tyrion betray Dany?
Think this theory is ridiculous? Here are four reasons why it will likely happen.
1. It would be so Game of Thrones

Nintendo Switch Is Sold Out Everywhere And It's Screwing Over The Most Loyal Fans
Nintendo Switch Is Sold Out Everywhere And It’s Screwing Over The Most Loyal Fans
It’s now exactly one month since the release of the Nintendo Switch, and the consoles are still impossible to find. As frustrating as this waiting is, I can’t say it’s altogether surprising. Nintendo did the same with the Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo Classic systems. The fact is, the Nintendo Switch is sold out everywhere and it’s screwing over the most loyal fans.
My problem with Nintendo is that…
