I’ve started to go through my archives and upload music I created over 10 years ago, I have a few things to go up but here is the first. Please subscribe and help support the channel.

I’ve been playing with a mix of shorts and longer form videos on my channel, what I’ve found is with shorts I’m not thinking about audio quality really at all. I’m just posting things I think my subscribers would be interested in. I’m not writing scripts or anything I’m just recording on the fly. Give it a go, share more of the off the cuff or behind the scenes stuff.

I’ve been fascinated looking at the statistics that YouTube studio gives you and it’s struck me why in many YouTube videos you hear the creator asking you to subscribe.
You can see looking at mine that almost all viewers are watching the videos but not subscribing. I know I’m a small fry but I can’t imagine bigger creators look that different here. Makes some sense given the way a lot of people consume YouTube going from one recommendation to the next or seeing your video in the shorts feed.
By the way, here’s my channel if you want to offer me some support 😀

I’ve been wanting to kick off some new creative projects and I think I’ve settled on going back to my roots in a way and creating guitar (and some related tech) videos on YouTube. I started off with this in 2008 and stopped a few years later, lots going on. I subsequently lost the account and am starting again. I am doing this for fun and it’s a bit rough and ready, but at the moment that’s the point I am experimenting and getting my skills up to date.
I have started to do some shorts and videos at my YouTube here, please subscribe and let me know what you think.

It’s been a while since I messed with video but with the introduction of YouTube shorts I’ve started to mess around. I am also experimenting creating Keynote presentations as videos in an effort to learn some current skills.
At the moment I only have 30 subscribers but YouTube still monetises my video and takes the money themselves as I have under 1000 subscribers. Please could you take 5 mins and support me by subscribing so that I can move toward getting some revenue to help pay for the site and reviewing more products.
Appreciate it 😀

Starting to mess around with YouTube shorts as a way to learn some new skills and not worry too much about production value.

I like to post these types of videos (albeit of poor quality) so that others that experience eye strain from devices can see what they are like before buying.
The Nothing Phone (1) is the worst I have seen and confirmed with Notebook Check the rate is quite low so likely to cause eye strain.

I’m getting back into playing guitar and one of my heroes growing up was Slash. This is a great 1hr+ video showing his history of collecting and includes some very special guitars including the 59 copy he used on Appetite and the cleanest original 59 I’ve ever seen.

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is something that all of the OLED iPhone models suffer from, which includes my current iPhone 13 Mini. This post gives a good overview of how you can help reduce this if you notice it.
I made a quick video showing what this looks like on the iPhone 13 Mini in real life.
This was to help anyone that does experience eye strain or worse due to this approach to screen dimming and want to get an iPhone 13 Mini. I hope this helps you make your decision before buying then needing to return.

Thought I’d go through Streaks, an app that I use to help me build habits.

I’m getting into using my iPad Pro for video now so got another one for you.

I’ve kicked off doing some video again, something to help me learn some new ways to use my iPad and video editing.
Here’s the first video in a while.

YouTube has become worse for me over the last few years both as a distraction (all on me) and becoming a hive of negativity, humble brags, encouraging people to waste money and fake theories. It was a real eye opener when I used it signed out for a week but worse than that my own suggestions are also polluted with these same videos and awful thumbnails.
YouTube’s algorithm for encouraging this kind of content has gotten out of hand and I don’t want to be part of it. As I’ve written before I’m glad I stopped growing my channel about 7 years ago now I’ve seen what content YouTube encourages you to create. The way to grow is to be extreme!
I thought that I have my subscriptions that I mostly enjoy and as long as I only use it on our TV watching only those things I think I’ll be ok but when the app defaults to recommend and the first thing I see is “how I blew £2000 at (insert store name here)” I’d had enough. The content I watch I can get in podcast form so I’ve just subscribed to the podcast feed in Overcast instead.
I’ve now deleted it off all of my iOS devices, unsubscribed to all channels and deleted my account from our LG TV.
