If you have a Mac and you’re a bit short on storage this unassuming little black box could be a cheap but effective fix. It cost me £13.99 on Amazon UK but they have regular promotions (I know this because I already have its big brother). What makes it special? There is painfully little support […]
I am currently looking for new career opportunities on LinkedIn, and it has inspired me to write a quick blog post about structured data and its importance under the hood to keeping the wheels of digital systems turning. IMHO LinkedIn is very impressive. It has grown within its role as a business networking site, embracing […]
I’m the first to tell anyone in business or at home to back up properly. So how did iCloud Photos just ruin my day, and how can you avoid the same peril? Like many Apple users, I thought I would give iCloud Photos a crack. At the time I was taking alot of photos on […]

However, as journalists and their nemeses would concur in a hearty conference […]
So we’ve been experimenting with slow cooking recently at home.

That’s because we braved exploring the other functions on our inexplicably complex Korean rice cooker […]
I snapped this frog in a pond way back in 2012 using my 7D and a basic Tamron telescopic lens. I stumbled upon it today and thought you might enjoy it too. It’s a tricky subject because there were half a dozen frogs itching to move in the pond, dim light and the reflections from […]
