Google Photos has to be up there as one of the handiest and most useful products that Google has released. Up there with Maps and Gmail.

I remember the mind blowing experience of being able to search by faces or type "blue car" into a search window to find a photo of my old car.

Going back to th...

Yep. The title says it all.... Action Cameras, for kids. This of course runs contrary to one of my previous posts on my other site, Hike with Kids, in that post I talk about how digital cameras for kids deliver poor potato quality output and that a cheap phone (with camera built in) would be a better option. And yes, I still stand by that statement. And yes, the camera I'm about to talk about DOES deliver some really horrible potato quality photos and video. Yet with all of the above, I'm beyond impressed by this product and its versatility, so much so I went out and purchased the "grown up" version of it.

It's something else.

Back in February 2022 Valve released the SteamDeck. A device that took PC gaming and made it accessible to the handheld crowd. Prior to this, the standard approach to getting PC gaming handheld was streaming typically on a mobil...

A little over a year ago (Jan 2022 to be precise), I started in a new role. I'm happy to say that over 12 months and one roller-coaster ride later I'm still very happy with my new role (can't really call is new any more can I?). Why am I mentioning this?

After my fun picking up a DJI Mini 3 Pro, I realised I had another drone to work with, or perhaps dust off. Back at the start of the pandemic, I did what many people did. Out of concern my frequent flyer points would end up worthless I cashed them in. In...

In times gone by, if you were serious about photography you had an SLR. As technology marches forwards the SLR has given way to the DSLR and Mirrorless cameras have improved in leaps and bounds narrowing the gap. It's an exciting time to capture the moments around you. But that's to say nothing of t...

WOW I wasn't expecting that!

This is just a quick short post so I can say it again. Wow.

As my previous article may have hinted at, I'm currently on leave. One of the things I'd love to get far more time for (and don't) is the chance to sit down and play a PC game. I don't have a gaming laptop t...

I may have a few too many travel routers. Perhaps the correct term for multiple travel routers is an embarrassment of travel routers?

But all jokes aside, travel routers are an essential item for all forms of travel. I've taken one with me on every recent holiday and every recent work trip. Th...
