Modern Home Office & Dream Desk Setup Makeover 2026

This summer, I gave my entire desk setup a complete makeover, and this time it wasn't just about looks. I spent a lot of time in this office, so every part of this makeover was done with productivity and creativity in mind while also adding far more personality to it. I kept this one more brief to focus on the changes, but if theres anything you want to know like how I use a Mac and PC with the same keyboard and mouse, or how I 3D print things safely, just drop a comment and ill let you know.

Japan EDC + Tips for your visit

In April, I finally got the chance to visit Japan at the tail end of cherry blossom season, a trip that had been sitting on my bucket list for years. As you’d expect, I wanted to bring along the right mix of photography gear, tech, and everyday essentials to help capture memories while making travel as smooth as possible making it the perfect EDC travel kit. .

In this video, I’m sharing my Japan travel EDC, including the gear that lived in my bag throughout the trip. From the Fujifilm X100VI and DJI Osmo Nano to my iPhone, portable power bank, and travel accessories, these are the items that genuinely earned their place.

I’ll also cover some practical Japan travel tips that made navigating the country much easier, including using Suica, getting around with Google Maps, staying connected, and a few things I wish I’d known before arriving.

SonnetTech Echo 20 Thunderbolt Dock Review

The Ultimate MacBook Accessory. SonnetTech Echo 20 Thunderbolt 4 SuperDock. This new Thunderbolt 4 dock from Sonnet is an impressive and feature-packed accessory for your Apple MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, or Thunderbolt enabled Windows PC. Not only does it have a HDMI 2.1 port, and 17 ports, it also has a built-in NVMe enclosure that will enable you to expand your storage by up to 8 terabytes. It sports a sleek and minimal matte black design and can supply 100watts of power delivery. But is it enough to take on the CalDigit TS4 and dethrone the king?

The Apple TV is Underrated.

The Apple TV 4K is underrated. The Apple TV is the best media player on the market, with a huge amount of potential for extra growth and some great hidden features which make this a stand out product. Compared to any other competition product it offers far more value for money and potential longevity. But why should you pick it over a smart tv with a built in App Store? Well I'll tell you why. This has more power, apps, and the ability to stream games from your PC or the cloud. That is why I think the Apple TV 4K with Ethernet is underrated.

Something popped up in my inbox, or I encountered an issue with something like cable management or certain items not working as expected, But I’m finally proud to show off my brand new minimal and modern desk setup. This setup is setup for both sitting and standing at the desk with a gaming PC and MacBook Pro productivity setup.

Goodbye iPad, Hello iPad Pro

Goodbye iPad, Hello iPad Pro. The Apple iPad Pro is now deserving of its pro name. This isn't because of Apple, but because of a little known company called Blackmagic Design. They have finally brought a fully fledged professional piece of software to the iPad Pro, but they didn't do a lazy job like Adobe, or LumaTouch, they went all in with more coming in the future. It is now looking like it is a good time to buy an iPad Pro.

Mous Evolution Essentials Cycle Kit Review

Outside of YouTube and tech i love to mountain bike, so when Mous offered to send me any product to review I just had to pick the Mous Evolution Essential Cycle Kit. This kit comes with a rugged case, a bike mount, and spacers to fit it to any handlebars. Not only did they send me this kit, they also sent me the Limitless 5.0 case for the iPhone 14 Pro, but there is one problem. I do not have an iPhone 14 Pro.
