I decided to make my audio blogs more interesting and put them on YouTube as a kind of Vlog.

When I got my Macbook Air, I knew that only having 256GBs of storage space would be difficult to manage at times. However the pros of solid state storage and lightweight portability outweighed the requirements for lots of storage.

I became much more tidy with my files, only keeping what I really need on my MacBook. If I want to play a game I uninstall it when I was finished, my YouTube videos are quickly moved to external storage and I don't store any music on my Macbook.

However there were times that I really wished I had a bit more space, I was seeing 1GB free more often that i'd like and I was looking around for a solution.



About a year ago I was reading a lot about a website called Kickstarter. At the time I didn't really pay much attention to it, until a few months ago, when I discovered how good it was. In short Kickstarter is a website that allows projects to be funded by individuals, It could be any creative ideas, games, films, products, books etc. Each project will set a goal for the amount of funding they require and how many days they have to raise that amount, if either of those are not met the project will not be funded.

Once the idea has been pitched users can back a project and donate to help get off the ground. There are often different levels of backers, for example if the project is a game, £20 will get you early access to the game, but £40 will get you early access plus an exclusive collectors edition.

It was through Kickstarter that I found the solution to my storage problems. The Nifty MiniDrive allows anyone to quickly and easily add more storage to there MacBook computer.

Whilst reading through various blogs today, i stumbled upon a game called Bombermine. For any fans of the popular game Bomberman you will recognise it straight away.

It's a browser based multiplayer game that you can play with up to 1000 other players.

Currently it's in beta, hence there's no sounds, but it looks like it has a lot of potential and is great fun to play.

Best of all its free!

With an iPhone, iPad, iPad mini and other battery powered devices I have too many gadgets to keep charged whilst out and about. I'm always on the look out for new backup battery solutions to keep my devices powered up on the go.

Recently I reviewed the Just Mobile Gum Plus backup battery. It's still the smallest battery with good capacity that I can find, however it does have one flaw, it can only charge once device at a time.

Time for the mophie juice pack powerstation duo to step up. Morphie has been producing backup batteries for a long time, for iPhone cases with a battery included to portable power station battery packs.

It's been another busy couple of weeks lately, i have a lot to catch up on.

There has been a lot of talk lately about when the next generation gaming consoles will be announced. Sony has made the first move and announced the PS4, everyone knew it was coming and expectations were high.

From what they showed during the event, the games look good, but nothing "outstanding". It's based on x86 architecture which means internally its pretty much a PC, whereas the PS3 is based on a bespoke cell infrastructure. Unfortunately this means the PS4 will not be backwards compatible with PS3 games, but we are pretty much used to that. Only the first batch of PS3 consoles could play PS2 games before they removed the feature to save money.

Sony spoke about new cloud based gaming which should allow you to play all previous playstation games on your PS4, however details on this were fairly limited.....

Anyone that owns an iPhone, iPad, Macbook or similar devices will know that there are never enough plugs to keep them all powered. Your always unplugging and plugging things back which can be frustrating.

A few months ago I read a review for a new product by Twelve South called the PlugBug. Until recently it has been USA only but they have just released the PlugBug World, which as you may have guessed works outside the USA including the UK.



So what is the PlugBug World? It's a USB charger specifically designed for Macbook owners, this might sound a little unusual at first, but trust me it makes sense.

Any website owner or blogger probably looks at their website stats fairly regularly. If only for the random Google searches that direct them to you.

I have about 4 or 5 different apps for my website stats, each one presents it in a different way. So are very in depth with lots of information, others are very graphical which only show you what you really want to know.

One of the best looking apps is Analytiks for the iPhone. It displays your stats in a very nice way, and allows you to produce a full size infographic.
