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. Those who've been following

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 year to plan another

Bridlington, May 2023

My earliest memory of Bridlington consists of vignettes blurred by the passing of time.

User Experience

Just a thought

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 and find my film.
