Apple maps, why do you hate me? Are you still using Apple maps? I finally had to stop. Finished. Be gone! There are a lot of things I love about my iPhone. Apple maps is not one of them! It’s failed me too many times. Once, I was looking for Panera Bread to surprise my […]
Pope Francis is at the White House. I’m watching the live broadcast of Pope Francis’s visit to the White House and President Obama’s address.
