My Approach to Bullet Journaling

February 22, 2020 Ken Newquist Blog, Productivity, Tech Tips, Technology

As I move through middle age, I find one of the things I value most is focus. My family and I lead active lives. Not busy in a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses way, but busy in an engaged embracing-life sort of way. My[…]

The Starlight Wanderer Hits the Trail

July 29, 2019 Ken Newquist Blog, Books & Print, Technology

My third Amazon Kindle Paperwhite e-reader arrived just in time for my June vacation. The 10th generation Kindle’s boasts two notable improvements: it’s waterproof and it integrates with Audible audiobooks. I greatly enjoyed my Kindles … right until screen damage[…]

Anker Soundcore 2: A good Bluetooth speaker

April 13, 2019 Ken Newquist Blog, Geek Dad, Technology

For years my sound systems were bifurcated. Ancient Logitech speakers, including a big, boxy subwoofer, resided in my game room/office. I used them when my computer was docked. Away from my desk, I used earbuds or whatever tinny sound my[…]

Essential Apps for the Mac, 2018 Edition

September 19, 2018 Ken Newquist Blog, Productivity, Tech Tips, Technology

My work MacBook Pro needed to go back to the mothership for repairs, so I’m working with a loaner Mac for the next week or two. It’s a minor inconvenience, but it does remind me what my essential apps for[…]

Setting up external hard drives for Xbox One and PlayStation 4

December 24, 2017 Ken Newquist Blog, Geek Dad, Tech Tips, Technology

At this point extra storage for game consoles may be almost as critical on Christmas morning as fully charged AA batteries. With modern games taking up a ridiculous amount of space on your typical console (I’m looking at you, Destiny 2)[…]

Nuketown Reignited

November 16, 2017 Ken Newquist Blog, Site News, Technology, Web Development

The redesigned Nuketown is here. After months of work — nearly a year if I’m honest — the latest iteration of the ol’thermonuclear burg is online. It features a host of new content, including: New episodes of the Nuketown Radio[…]

Angular Momentum

February 22, 2017 Ken Newquist Blog, Productivity, Technology

I’ve got a lot on my plate. Or rather, plates. I won’t recite it all here because it starts sounding like a pity party, but trust me … it’s a lot. And it’s a lot to keep track of. For[…]

Going digital with the Kindle Paperwhite

February 20, 2017 Ken Newquist Blog, Books & Print, Technology

Looking back at Nuketown’s “Technology” category, I’m surprised how little I’ve written about the Kindle Paperwhite, especially considering just how much time I’ve spent using the device. I wrote about e-readers once — when I got my original Kindle Touch[…]

Experimenting with Evernote alternatives

September 3, 2016 Ken Newquist Blog, Productivity, Tech Tips, Technology

Earlier in the summer Evernote limited their free service to only allow syncing between two devices. This severely hampered my Home Mac/Work Mac/iPad/iPhone workflow, and led me to try some other services: Google Keep and SimpleNote. I don’t begrudge Evernote[…]

Debugging the Xbox One Spontaneous Shutoff

January 3, 2015 Ken Newquist Blog, Games, Tech Tips, Technology

My family’s big Christmas present this year was an Xbox One. The kids and I are loving it — I’m battling my way through the Halo: Master Chiefedition, and the kids are questing for the Lonely Mountain in LEGO: The Hobbit. Unfortunately[…]
