As with most iPhone launches you can never quite get that perfect phone for your needs. For me I’m always torn between the best cameras and comfort in use. I’m currently using the iPhone 11, which I’ll most likely stay on but I’m definitely looking at both the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 ProContinue reading “The iPhone 13 Mini”

Closing my Patreon
I’ve been thinking a lot about the support I’ve had on the site (thanks to all of those that have donated so far) and where my Patreon sits within all of this. I felt the pressure of having a Patreon and not being able to offer much value, it was a donation bucket not somethingContinue reading “Closing my Patreon”
Xbox Series X, a longer term review
I’ve owned my Xbox Series X for 3 months pretty soon and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on using it day to day. The first thing of note, I’ve realised I haven’t turned on the PS4 since that time also. My game of choice for the PS4 has been Star Wars BattlefrontContinue reading “Xbox Series X, a longer term review”
Star Wars and a freelancing milestone
I’ve been freelancing on and off for years now but yesterday I hit a notable (for me) milestone by writing about a topic I love on a site that I’ve followed for years. I was lucky enough to be able (thanks Daryl) to write up a post about Star Wars gaming for techradar. This isContinue reading “Star Wars and a freelancing milestone”

I’ve started to listen to several podcasts from Privacy International and one about health data got me looking at apps I’ve used in the past a bit more closely. Their work on looking at mental health sites was a bit of an eye opener. I used this information to look at apps I’ve used inContinue reading “Are your mental health apps tracking you?”
How does Spotify compare to Apple Music?
A couple of weeks ago I decided to switch to a few apps that didn’t tie me to the Apple ecosystem so much. The first one that I switched was from Apple Music to Spotify. I’d always used Spotify in the past but switched to Apple Music on it’s release and have been using itContinue reading “How does Spotify compare to Apple Music?”
Software updates are more interesting than new hardware
I’m not sure if it’s my age or the amount of time I’ve been following technology but somethings changed for me where I’m caring less and less about new hardware. I feel that smartphones, folding aside are pretty stale. On one hand this is great for those that want to keep their devices as longContinue reading “Software updates are more interesting than new hardware”
Switching apps to help to do app overwhelm
I’ve been using Todoist for quite a while now and whilst I’ve been enjoying it I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Despite all of it’s positives Todoist still isn’t great at dealing with overdue tasks. If you miss a task or don’t get to it it’ll flag as overdue, which is great for some butContinue reading “Switching apps to help to do app overwhelm”
