About

My name is Sam and I’m a tea drinking, pizza eating, skinny jeans and Converse wearing thirty-something Geordie Lass, living in Tyne and Wear in North East England.

I’m super passionate about gadgets and am never happier than when I’m looking at, buying, un-boxing and playing with new technology, mostly the ones with an Apple logo on the back! I decided that writing all about it here was probably a good idea. I also like taking photos of just about anything that stays still long enough – but even if it doesn’t I’ll have a good go at snapping it anyway. My favourite camera by far is the one I always have with me; iPhone 5.

I’ve been a Mac since mid-2005, when I purchased the Mac Mini G4. From there on in it was a slippery but very enjoyable slope and my set-up now consists of…

- 20in iMac Core 2 Duo (late 2007)
- MacBook Air 11″ 64GB (late 2010)
- iPhone 5 32GB White (September 2012)
- iPad mini 16GB Wi-Fi in white (Late 2012)

I also own the following Apple products, though they are now in retirement despite being in full working order…

- PowerBook G4 (running Leopard)
- iMac G3 (running Tiger)

This is my home office, The System Attic…

When I’m not playing with or talking about technology I like to eat Italian food (mostly pizza!) and listen to deep house music, Physics, Samantha James, Fred Everything, Miguel Migs, Daft Punk and far too many other musical artists to mention! I spend half my life wearing Converse and skinny jeans – and I’m addicted to social sites such as Twitter and Instagram (username: purplelime).
