Star Wars: The Bad Batch just keeps on getting better and better
At the time of writing this I’ve not watched the latest episode of The Bad Batch but so far season 2 has been some of my favourite story telling. It’s gotten darker and more in depth on the end of the Clone trooper and the empire’s distaste for anything to do with the clone wars…

Don’t buy the G-Shock GBD-200 for it’s fitness tracking
I’ve been using the G-Shock GBD-200 this week and I wanted to reiterate that you shouldn’t buy this model if you’re after a smartwatch or fitness tracker. As with most Casio Bluetooth efforts it’s pretty disappointing. Flakey connectivity and no meaningful data. The step tracker is also pretty basic and the app terrible. The privacy…

Is the iPhone 12 Pro still worth buying in 2023?
I wanted a second screen for my YouTube recording setup, something to give me another angle. I looked at cameras and decided that I’d go for an iPhone. My main phone is a Mini and creating shorts was a little too small for me so having something with a larger display that I could also…

A month of no podcasts
This is a really interesting idea and something I’ve been wondering myself. I drove to pick up my guitars the other day and decided to listen to music instead of my usual podcasts and my mood was better. Maybe having other people’s opinions and chatter in my ears for most of the day isn’t always…

Is the screen on the G-Shock GBD-200 too dark?
I’ve always struggled with negative displays on digital watches but I put this aside when picking up the GBD-200. What I’ve found in these last couple of days is I’m struggling with this one too. I either have a dud or it’s not as bright as the Casio site would have you believe. I’m going…

What is the backlight like on the G-Shock GBD-200?
I picked up a G-Shock GBD-200 yesterday and am going to be sharing my thoughts as I go through using it. I wanted to share what my experience of the backlight is like. I will say that it’s better than my 5600, which is good but these MIP displays are great for clarity and for…

Long term social media use isn’t sustainable and more ramblings
When I deleted my Twitter account I had a break, it was nice to drop a years old habit of checking a text feed of others people’s achievements, worries, anger and joy all at the same time. This on top of all of the constant news feeds has become too much. Now I’m all in…

G-Shock GBD-200 display options
I’ve picked up another G-Shock, this time the GBD-200. I’ve not connected it to my phone and not planning on using the fitness tracking but picked it up for the larger fonts (yes, I’m old). I thought it might be useful to post a few images of what it looks like in case you’re looking…

The biggest difference between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13
I’ve been trying out the iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Mini over the last few days and there’s one standout difference between them – FaceID. On the iPhone 13 the FaceID is noticeably faster to unlock, works from more angles and does things like works with one eye open. Size aside it might be the…

iPhone 12 Pro camera vs iPhone 13 Mini camera
I picked up a used iPhone 12 Pro to use as a second camera for my YouTube setup and I’ve been curious how it weighs up against my current daily iPhone 13 Mini. I initially thought that the 13 Mini had the edge but now I’ve done some more testing it’s the 12 Pro that…

The iPhone 12 Pro strikes a good balance between screen size and weight
I’ve been looking at picking up a used iPhone to use as part of my YouTube creator setup and when trading in my old AirPods Pro I used their value and picked up a 128GB 12 Pro. What’s immediately struck me with it is how nicely balanced it is. I skipped this generation and went…

My iOS 16 Lock Screen
Not shared my setup for a while so wanted to show what my iPhone Lock Screen is currently looking like. It’s pretty simple. Dark wallpaper (from Unsplash, I think). Weather, next calendar appointment, Things 3 and battery.

Apple Reminders is great (if you only use iOS)
I’ve been in and out of task managers and I’ve finally given Apple Reminders a good try. It’s has one show stopping problem though (for me), it’s macOS app. It doesn’t match the app on iOS and takes too many clicks to get tasks in and organised with due dates. I spend more time on…

Upgrading to the AirPods 2
I’ve had my AirPods 2 for a few weeks now and wanted to write down some thoughts on what they are like vs the original version. Overall I’m glad I upgraded, they are most used Apple device. I had to because my original pair stopped syncing and to replace them was more than a new…
