I recently received two beige Macs: a Performa 6400 and a Power Macintosh G3. I decided they deserved an unboxing video:
This is my first project in 4K, thanks to my new-to-me Sony a7R II. It is in an incredible camera and I look forward to doing more with it.
In 2013, Apple didn’t simply knock $100 off the price of the iPhone 5 when the 5s was announced. Instead, it replaced it with the plastic, colorful iPhone 5c.
The 5c was pretty much an iPhone 5 with a slightly larger battery and a better FaceTime camera, wrapped in a seamless, colorful plastic case. To date, I think this iPhone feels better in-hand than any other.
Leading up to this, there were many rumors about a cheaper iPhone. The 5c was decidedly not that phone; all it did was take the place of the iPhone 5 in the $100-less-than-it-used-to-be spot in the lineup.
I spent less than $200 on a Late 2009 MacBook, the oldest laptop that is supported by macOS Sierra. In this video, I show how to install an SSD and additional RAM for the best possible performance out of the notebook:
Apple’s full-sized iPod had a good run: from 2001 to 2014, when the iPod classic was discontinued. Over its lifespan, it saw many changes improvements, including the ability to show photos and play video.
The 17-inch PowerBooks and MacBook Pros are big, heavy slabs of Mac history. They may be gone, but they left their mark on Apple’s notebooks in a very real way.
Yesterday, I sat down for a little Q&A time and finally got to show off my new studio:
Introduced in 2000, the Power Mac G4 Cube is still one of the most distinctive Macs ever sold:
(The original Mac had 128 kilobytes of RAM, not megabytes. I misspoke in the video. Sorry about that.)
Anyways, I’m a big fan of this watch stand. You can grab one on Amazon for just $15.
We all have goals for 2017. I wonder if technology can help us be better people.
The Power Mac G3 All-in-One was not an important computer, but it’s important to me.
Apple’s new coffee table book “Designed by Apple in California” features many products the company has produced over the last 20 years. Turns out, most of what it is in the book is a part of my collection. Here are the actual products alongside the book:
I’ve zipped up all the photos used in the video and have uploaded them here for your wallpaper-setting pleasure:
