The 19″ Philips monitor which I was using with my Mac mini decided to break. I tried to get it fixed, but it wasn’t possible. For a few weeks, I went back to using a 14″ CRT monitor but I wasn’t liking it too much. As a replacement, I wanted something which would match the [...]

The good: Simple, elegant design; easy to use. The bad: Expensive; adds little functionality to your iPod. The rating: 3/5 The Apple Universal Dock is a hard thing to review.

Bluehost Review
I’ve recently switched to Bluehost to host jakewright.net. So far, I’ve been very impressed with the service. There’s not much I can say about them — the price is reasonable (especially with a coupon), you get all of the features you could ever need, the servers are fast and the support is fantastic. Simple.

Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather Case for the iPod Touch 2G
Another review of a Proporta iPod Touch case. This time, it’s the Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather Case for the iPod Touch 2G. This is a standard kind of ‘flippy’ case. It has an aluminium lined flap that protects the iPod’s screen which is the best feature about it. The flappy bit is also magnetic, so [...]
