In the video above I just gloss over a lot of the software and hardware I use to in the making of my thumbnails. Since my Youtube channel usually focuses on that kind of stuff I thought it would be a good idea to list of the resources I use here in a separate post. Also, the Amazon links used on this page are affiliate links, I get a commission from sales made using those links, it's how I support this site and my Youtube channel.

In this corner we have the Surface Pro. The Surface Pro runs Windows 10. Has an optional pen and or keyboard cover. And has been able to grow a mustache since age 16.

In this corner we have the iPad Pro. The iPad runs iPad OS, has optional apple pencil and keyboard cover and has a large bump on his head, not from a fight but because his dad thought it would be cool to put a camera there.

On paper these competitors look pretty similar but are very different. Those...

In a nutshell this is what’s going on. There are laws about what you can and can’t do when advertising to children. One of those laws is called COPPA. For years Youtube claimed that they didn’t allow children under 13 on the platform on their platform so they were exempt. Anyone with half a brain knows that that’s just absurd.

Turns out the FTC, the government organization who enforces those laws has a half a brain and noticed too and they sued Youtube for a whole lot...

Apple has always prided itself on being a step ahead of the market. They weren’t afraid to kill floppy drives on the iMac, cd drives on Macbooks

But over the last couple years this urge to push the industry forward has felt like too much too soon. We didn’t want to give up our headphone jacks. USB-c sounds cool but there everything was still boring ol usb. and That mag safe charger was actually a brilliant idea! And HEY! HEY! The escape key on the keyboard wasn’t obsolete and it never...

OK, first thing’s first!. The Surface Pro X is a beautiful machine. It’s super thin, it’s lost many of the little bumps and vents the old versions have, it comes in this matte black that looks so cool when you wife the finger prints off it. They shrank down the bezels, it’s got that nice shiny screen. The hinge is as great as it’s ever been,. It has 2, count em’ 2 usb-c ports, a mag port for charging, You can even swap out the storage really easily, look at how small...

I’m going to be walking through how I put this animation together using the new Procreate 5 animation features.

Right now Procreate 5 is in Beta, I believe it’s invite only right now, They haven’t given a firm release date yet but it’s really solid, I haven’t come across any bugs or anything so it’s probably going to be available pretty soon.

If you’re purchased my Mastering Procreate course I will be updating all that content in the coming...

Today I’m taking a look at the… what am I taking a look at again? The Surface Pro 7… It’s easy to forget about the 7 because of all the hoopla around all the other products Microsoft announced this fall at their Surface event. cool new products like the Surface Laptop 2, the Surface Pro X and the Surface Neo, the Surface Duo, The Surface ear bobbins and uhh, wait, wasn’t there something else.

Oh, right, the Surface Pro 7....

To run sidecar you’re going to need a newer mac and a newer iPad. I’ll link to the specific requirements down below in the description. Unfortunately this meant that my trusty 2015 Macbook Pro wasn’t going to cut it. I had to steal my wife’s newer laptop.

You’re going to need to be running Catalina on your Mac and also have the latest iPad OS 13 running on your iPad. If you do then you can turn on sidecar by...

today we’re taking a look at the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo. a 15” laptop with two screens aimed at creatives.

The thing with gimmicks is that if your one of those people who wants to do a slideshow from across the room, that’s not a gimmick, that’s a killer feature. If you really want to turn on your lights with your watch that’s not a gimmick that’s a killer feature. If you want your fridge to cut your...

This is the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. It is Samsung’s latest flagship android tablet and it comes with the S-pen included. Today we’re taking a look.

The Hardware

The Screen looks fantastic. Super Amoled display. Just beautiful. The resolution is 2560x 1600 which is larger than full HD but less than 4k and is comparable to the iPad Air or 11” iPad pro. It’s technically more pixels because it has a different shape so...
