In 2021, Apple unveiled the MacBook Pro with the infamous "Notch", which got a lot of people talking. Inspired by this, one man (a good friend of mine) decided to kick things up a notch (pun totally intended) and made a photo book about the notches all around us. Join Savvy Sage as he briefly takes a look at The Notch Book.

Berkeley Systems may be well-known for After Dark and You Don't Know Jack, but before all of that, they actually developed software primarily for the accessibility market...yes, really. Join Savvy Sage as he goes over the origin story of Berkeley Systems, their first software products, and their impact on the tech industry.
