I’ve been wondering what’s been off about my recent use of Glass since the introduction of likes (or appreciation as they call it) and Andy nailed it. Since this move I’ve had zero comments on my photography. It’s really changed the way that I’ve experienced the app and I’m now thinking I’ll just leave theContinue reading “Glass is becoming a boring place for photography”
Deleting my Amazon account
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about where I want to put my money when purchasing online and the main place that bothered me was Amazon, so I have now deleted my account. There are many personal reasons for this, some of those listed here. I’m glad I’ve finally done this to be honestContinue reading “Deleting my Amazon account”
The iPhone 13 Mini has me wanting an iPad again
At the moment my setup is a MacBook Air and and iPhone 13 Mini, which seems to suit me fine but… I’ve been thinking about adding an iPad back into the line up. I’ve been enjoying using iOS a lot and whilst the MacBook Air is great for my zoom calls and writing it’s notContinue reading “The iPhone 13 Mini has me wanting an iPad again”
Yes, I’m still using the iPhone 13 Mini
It’s been pretty much a month now with the iPhone 13 Mini and it’s still my daily device. I’m still within my return window but right now I see me keeping it. The battery life is great, my RSI is improved, the camera is fantastic and I can use it one handed. I went backContinue reading “Yes, I’m still using the iPhone 13 Mini”
Are smartphone ergonomics more important than specs?
Since switching to the iPhone 13 Mini from the 11 I have noticed an improvement in my RSI and when I have used my 11 it’s come back pretty quickly. This got me thinking about my journey with the iPhone 11 Pro to the 11 where it was about comfort i.e. the bigger screen overContinue reading “Are smartphone ergonomics more important than specs?”
The iPhone is a pretty great point and shoot Astro camera
I’ve been wanting to do more around night sky images but struggle with manual settings on my DSLR (I’m not too proud to say I run it in auto most of the time, it’s no big deal). I saw a nice clear morning sky out of the window, grabbed my iPhone 13 Mini and tookContinue reading “The iPhone is a pretty great point and shoot Astro camera”
Glass adds a like button
In an announcement yesterday, Glass have added an appreciation option for photos. Initially I was against this and worried that it might be the start of a path to adding like counts and for me at least it’s one of the reasons I moved away from other social services and don’t check notifications on Twitter.Continue reading “Glass adds a like button”
4 years with the Nintendo Switch
I’ve realised looking at my journal that I’ve had the Nintendo Switch for over 4 years now and I wanted to share some thoughts about how I’m feeling about it now. I’ve always loved my portables ever since the Sega Game Gear (I traded in my Sega Master System for one) back on the launchContinue reading “4 years with the Nintendo Switch”
My favourite apps of 2021
I’ve been switching setups a lot over the last year but I’ve been having a think about some of my most used and liked apps that I have been using over the last year. As with my favourite gear these apps haven’t necessarily come out this year. Glass: I love this app so much, it’sContinue reading “My favourite apps of 2021”
My favourite gear of 2021
If I remember (a big ask these days) I like to share the gear that I’ve been enjoying using over the last year. This isn’t necessarily stuff that came out this year but the items that have brought me enjoyment or served a good purpose for the task it was purchased for or I feelContinue reading “My favourite gear of 2021”
