Rethinking your tech purchases
Continuing using the iPhone 13 and picking up a used 12 Pro has me rethinking how I’ve been buying new in the past. I’d like to be more eco friendly around tech, keeping things going or buying used. No matter how much Apple tout their trade in program, there’s no substitute for not buying at…

Changes at the Apple Store
Had an interesting experience at the Apple Store yesterday. I popped in on my way to return the G-Shock I had picked up and noticed that I was asked if I needed help almost every 2 or 3 minutes. I’m not complaining it’s just an interesting observation compared to when I have been left alone…

Which is better for night sky photography, iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 13?
Quick night mode test (it’s been cloudy here in the UK so I haven’t bothered until this morning). After testing the iPhone 13 does have the edge over the iPhone 12 when it comes to night mode. To my eyes the 13 is less blurry when zoomed in and is a brighter overall image, I…

Imagining being in a room presenting to the followers of my creative projects (or they are your bosses!)
I’ve been so busy that I have let a few things go to the wayside, one of which being my Star Wars newsletter that I have grown organically to just under 50 subscribers. When I have been thinking about what I should be doing I imagined those almost 50 in a room or that they…

iPhone 13 Mini durability
I’ve been using an iPhone 13 Mini mostly case-less for 10 months and wanted to report back on how it’s holding up. Overall it’s holding up great, this 12 onwards design seems to be pretty durable.

How and when to replace your iPhone’s battery
I’ve been doing a lot of testing on my used iPhone 12 Pro with it’s 89% capacity and wondering if I should pay to get it replaced. Looking at the guidance from Apple it indicates that 80% is the threshold where you should be considering changing your battery. To do this head here and get…

Is the iPhone Pro too heavy?
Since I switched to the iPhone 12 Pro from the 13 Mini and back whilst doing some testing I’ve been thinking about how heavy the iPhone 14 Pro was when I had one. I briefly used one and whilst I liked the camera I found it too heavy. That’s when I made the switch back…

How I’m getting organised using Things 3
After playing with pen and paper (and forgetting or losing lists and notes) I’ve figured out digital is probably best for me. Whilst Apple Reminders is ok for iPhone it’s terrible on Mac so I’m back to Things 3. The first thing I did was actually go back to pen and paper and write everything…

Putting creative value to numbers
I’ve fallen into a familiar traps, putting my self worth in creating against stats. I’m trying my best not to do this but it’s hard. I’m doing my best to enjoy the creative process and sharing rather than how many people watch a video, subscribe or read these posts. If you’re a creator, how do…

How to connect a MacBook to studio monitor speakers
I’ve been testing a couple of difference studio monitors as I create my YouTube/Guitar setup. I’ve settled on these M-Audio, which for the money are the best I have tried. I have found that the best way to connect them to my MacBook is via the 3.5″ Aux from the MacBook to the FRONT of…

Apple doesn’t appear to know what to do with the iPad
This is a really great article from Jason Snell and something that has been on my mind too. I really think Apple has lost it’s way with the iPad. Sometimes I look back at all the effort Apple has made with the iPad Pro and wonder if it was worth it. All the additions of…

I’ve been going between Reeder and NetNewsWire this week and there’s no doubt that if you sync via iCloud NetNewsWire is faster and more reliable.
