The Apple Watch has become one of my favorite gadgets, thanks to its amazing versatility. It can stream my favorite radio stations live from London, and also measure how I'm recovering from a workout.

So I am beyond jazzed about the new Series 7, which goes up for preorder this Friday. There are not a lot of big upgrades in this model, but no matter -- the bigger screen is enough for me.

There's only one problem: The new Apple Watch will likely be in short supply, which means I'll have to set my current watch to wake me at the ungodly hour of 5 a.m. I can't wait to see how that messes with my sleep tracking!

There’s nothing like toiling over a computer setup until you get it just how you like it. Of course, that can mean many different things to different people. Some folks’ setups are as austere as a monk’s workbench while others look like Mission Control on steroids.

"Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." -- Steve Jobs
