About vsajewel

Hi...I'm the author of 2 main blogs on WordPress...vsatips...where I write tech tips for mobile devices...primarily ios...2nd is vsatrends...where I write less about tech things and more about everything else. I also host a YouTube channel which I use to better illustrate some of the 'how to's' in my posts. I love everything about technology. Currently, my main interests/platforms are ios, Windows and Amazon Echo. Recently I decided we were spending way too much money with our local cable provider. So I decided to cut the cord. There is a definite learning curve, especially the antennae part, but we successfully did that and are now saving a boatload of money, so I write some about that. I also am extremely conscientious about security because of an event my family endured , so I write a lot about that too. Two sub-categories of security I tend to focus on are the password manager Dashlane and Hardware Firewalls. Last, I take a lot of notes and have been a beta tester for Evernote for many years. I love Evernote! In recent years Apple has beefed up Apple Notes a lot...so it’s become a fairly serious note contender...as long as its OK if you lose or mess up all your Apple note data. I write about those 2 note platforms primarily.

Apple’s New 11” iPad Pro Has One Huge Design Flaw…

My husband and I are both the proud new owners of Apple’s new 11” iPad Pro. While in general we love most everything about them, there is one huge annoying problem that no other reviewers mention. It’s annoying enough that it might cause someone to reconsider making a purchase right now, which is why I’ve written this post. I wish I’d known about it prior to my purchase. I feel like I should have discovered it based on the significant number of reviews that I read beforehand! Continue reading

My family traveled to Cuba over the holidays and initially everything that could go wrong did. But our problems led to the fortuitous circumstances which resulted in our enjoying perhaps the best family vacation we’ve ever taken! In this post I describe all the misinformation that exists about Americans traveling to Cuba.
