Review – Vanguard Skyborne 51 Laptop & Camera Backpack

Skyborne 51

Gear bags – my arch nemesis. I can never find the right bag to carry my photography kit around with me, and I feel I’ve tried a million bags so far and nothing ever is quite right. I’ll be honest, the majority of bags I have used in the past have been LowePro bags, great [...]

A review of writing blog posts and blogging with the wordpress on the iPad. Problems and annoyances with and without the app. This is the same app as the Wordpress for iPhone, as far as I am aware there are no more features in the iPad version than the iPhone version.
