Stream Deck — Down the Rabbit Hole, Part 2
When we left our hero at the end of Part 1, he… I… had a working set of controls for my NanoLeaf lights. Once I had my buttons working, I decided I wanted to have some nice images to place on them to make the actions clear, and which were nice to look at. The […]

Stream Deck — Down the Rabbit Hole, Part 1
As is so often the case, I wish to blame Allison for what I’m about to tell you. I’ve had a project on the boil for a while now which had me seriously considering buying an Elgato Stream Deck. It is entirely Allison’s fault, however, that I actually bought one. I bought the Stream Deck […]

The date was 1st August, 2006. I walked into The Rockshop in Wellington and said to one of the staff “I want a microphone to record my voice to a computer, for a podcast.” That staff member didn’t skip a beat; I had thought the word “podcast” might be a sticking point, but no. I […]

A Tiny Tip Collection — macOS Control Centre
When macOS Big Sur broke cover, we got a first look at the Control Centre as imagined for the Mac. While it’s cousin, the new Notification Centre, has been much maligned, I feel like Control Centre flies under the radar. Maybe that’s because everyone is just getting on and using it, but I wonder whether […]

How I Fell in Love with Photography
I’ve been an enthusiast photographer since December 1986. Mum, Dad, my brother and I were on our way to the UK for a holiday when it happened, in a camera shop in Lucky Plaza, on Singapore’s Orchard Road. Lest you think I was buying, I wasn’t. My brother was, and as he was choosing his […]

Heart Rate Variability with the Training Today App
We all know that feeling. You know you should get some exercise, but you just don’t feel like it. If you don’t feel up to it, that means your body is telling you to take it easy, right? Well… sometimes yes, sometimes no. Most weekday mornings I get out for a brisk walk of around […]

Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Headphones by Steven Goetz
I have been promising this review to Allison for 6 months and I don’t think Allison ever thought she’d see it. First, the problem to be solved. I wanted a good, quality set of headphones that I could use for things like watching TV at night while others in my family are sleeping. I also […]
