Bolton Abbey, December 2023

This weekend we took a trip north up to Bolton Abbey with my Mum and Stepdad. We had tickets to take a ride on the Polar Express (which was brilliant, by the way) so we decided to head up there a little bit earlier and take a walk down to

Back to the camera

I recently came across the Camp Snap Camera through Instagram, a "screen-free digital camera" with the aim of giving you the freedom of taking pictures like you would with a phone but without the distraction or temptation of looking at apps while you're out and about.

Malta, August 2023

Since 2013, we've been going back to Malta every couple of years to go see Lu's family out there. The last time we were there was 2018 and when we learned we were going to have another baby in 2019, we figured 2020 would be good

User Experience

Just a thought

Like many people, I use my iPhone all day every day. I use various apps for various jobs and on occasion I like to share certain bits of information on a social network like Twitter or Facebook. There's one thing about sharing on iPhone which has bothered me

Yet another photo app

Last week while in London, I managed to grab some time to catch up with some friends over a beer or three. During the discussion, I was introduced to a photo app for iPhone called iDarkroom, which allows you to apply filters and effects to your photos giving them a

If I could change anything on the iPhone 3G...

...it would be the ability to flip between apps without returning to the homescreen. Today I was watching Cloverfield and got a text. I hit "Reply" which pulled up the keyboard. Once I'd sent the text, I had to return to the homepage, access the iPod
