Read My Guest Post About Continuity Backups at OWC

by

Other World Computing (OWC) recently asked me if I’d like to write a guest post on their blog. OWC make SSDs and memory for Macs, as well as RAID solutions and various USB and Thunderbolt docks. I’m an OWC customer myself (check out my recent OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock review), and have been for over a decade, so I took them up on the offer to reach their audience with some of my own experience as a creative professional. The topic I chose: Continuity Backups. If you don’t know what this phrase means, I think you need to read …

New Recommended Gear Page at B&H

by

By now you guys know that I often work closely with B&H Photo to borrow gear for testing purposes, and sometimes to bring you great deals on all kinds of camera equipment. I have a pretty international audience on this site and what I like about B&H is how easy they make international ordering. Here in Canada, shipping is free for orders over $100, and they let me pay the tax and duties during the ordering process so I know what my final total is going to be. I can’t speak for the process in all other countries, but I …

Best Divi Site Designs Feature on Winning WP
