    Of Photos, Aperture, and Sliding Between Volumes

    Reading Time: 4 minutes Over the years I have used Aperture, Picasa and the Apple Photos Apps. In that time they have organised my files chronologically, automatically, as soon as I took pictures, in some cases. What They Do Aperture was well behaved. It would organise photos by year, by month and by day, so…

    Apple Vision Pro Stagnation

    Reading Time: 2 minutes People want us to see the Apple Vision Pro VR kit as revolutionary but it isn’t, for a simple reason. Several years ago I was going to the World VR conference and loved playing with various VR kits but they almost all had the same problem. They cost an arm and a…

    Apple and Dongles

    Reading Time: 2 minutes Several years ago I broke my most important rule. Never take a laptop with you that you are not willing to carry at all times. I had a Mac Book Pro stolen and this was extremely frustrating. The reason for which it was frustrating is that this Mac Book from still…

  • A Forgotten Apple Event

    A Forgotten Apple Event

    Reading Time: 3 minutes On the Twelfth of September Apple held an event to promote their new iPhone devices and I completely forgot to watch and spoof what they were selling.

  • Apple Reading Goals

    Apple Reading Goals

    Reading Time: 2 minutes I am confused by Apple reading goals because they measure how many days you have reached your goal, as well as how much you read for the current day, but once today is yesterday it loses all of that information. It tells you that you have a. streak but you have…

  • Four Years With The Apple Watch Series Four

    Four Years With The Apple Watch Series Four

    Reading Time: 2 minutes I have spent four years with the Apple Watch Series Four. Although I should feel the opposite I have found that for most of its life I have loved to hate the watch. The first thing I hate about the Apple Watches is that they’re fragile. I had a series three…
