Vintage Hand-Drawn VHS Labels

I remember doing this, back in the 90s. More likely for TV shows we tapped rather than movies.

I Tried to Teach My Son Soccer. Here's What He Taught Me.

I am on this particular journey with my son at the moment. He's graduated from doing the basics indoor with a club to playing outdoors. I'm less involved than I was with the indoor version where we had 15 minutes each week to tire each other out and it's more about him getting to grips with the elements, proper studded boots and using all of the skills he has.

In his previous club, or class, it was obvious the challenge was no longer there so we tried to create some. That meant me intervening, like Rory did, but now that he's somewhere new it's all up to him and the instructions he gets from the coaches. My interventions were more about bringing his team into it the game with him, and I get the sense that there's an aspect of that in the article. Keeping the ball in play is one thing, but you want it to go to a team mate so it stays alive.

Apple TV's Hardware Situation Is Fine

If Front Row was still a thing, then a Mac Mini as your media hub would actually make a lot of sense.

Apple Accused of Trapping 40 Million UK Customers Into iCloud Service

While I think this is a silly claim, it's not hard to move to Dropbox, Google Photos or Amazon Photos to back up your photos. It's also up to app developers if they adopt iCloud as the preferred storage method within an app. Plenty of apps I use give you the choice of other providers.

Is iCloud storage a rip off though? Probably. Storage continues to get cheaper if you're looking at your own solutions but cloud providers continue to charge us all high prices. I'm not looking for a discount myself, just give us a little more ever now and then.
