The standard Apple charger clips into this Spigen charging stand. Works nicely for me.

Watching the clock
I’ve written several times about my enthusiasm for the Apple Watch, but even eight years after getting my first one, I’m still discovering uses for it. We’ve spent the last few nights in our campervan on a delightful small campsite in Devon. There are loo and shower facilities in a nearby building but, unusually these Continue Reading
How to turn Apple Photos into a more powerful editor
Apple recently released OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, which includes their Photos app – the replacement for iPhoto. This is unlikely ever to become my normal photo-management and editing tool, but it does have some nice features, and it has more editing controls than you might at first realise: Also available on Vimeo.
The watchword
Like many other people, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Apple Watch. It hasn’t really arrived yet, you understand, but you can at least now see it, play with it, and plonk down large amounts of money for it, in anticipation of delivery in a month or two’s time. I spent quite a Continue Reading
AppleTVUK?
One of the things Steve Jobs announced in his latest keynote was a drop in the price of the AppleTV, from $299 to $229 for the base model. This should be good news for us at CamVine, because we buy quite a few of these – we take them apart and do nefarious things with Continue Reading
Apple Event and iPod Photo
[Original Link] Just watched the Quicktime feed of Steve Jobs doing the iPod Photo launch, with the aid of U2. I have to take my hat off to Apple – I’m biased by my enthusiasm for their technology, but even without that I can think of few companies with their marketing and branding skills. I’ve Continue Reading
Slow time?
Back in the days when I had an analogue watch, rather than a serious computer, strapped to my wrist, I often wondered whether life would be more or less stressful if I removed the minute and second hands, so that I could only tell the time to, say, the nearest 5-10 minutes. Would I be Continue Reading
I promise to pay the car park attendant on demand…
Do you remember how, in the old days, before you went on holiday, one of the important tasks you had to do before departure was to get some cash in the local currency? Well, even in this modern era, there are still some places where you need to do that. Cornwall, for example. We’ve been Continue Reading

Today, for the first time ever, I’ve been wearing contact lenses. As a new user, I have to say, they’re a jolly impressive technology! These are multifocal ones, which I hope may save me from the routine of putting on my reading glasses, taking them off, dropping them, picking them up, losing them, finding them, Continue Reading
Money-changing
I was delighted to see, this morning, that my local supermarket, Waitrose, has effectively abolished the transaction limit on Apple Pay & Android Pay. It’s now £10,000, and even with my fondness for some of their products, it’s hard to imagine hitting that limit even on Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. So Continue Reading
Send not to know for whom the bell tolls
Richard pointed me at this wonderful life-expectancy simulation. Very sobering – a bit like visiting an ossuary – and fascinating, too. It reminds me that I haven’t yet ported my Time’s Wingèd Chariot watchface to my Apple Watch. I’d better get working on it while I still can…
