About

I like editing and making videos for fun. So I decided to make a youtube channel. I know, unique right? What you can expect from me ranges from a lifestyle perspective on technology (such as apple products, laptops, desk setups, and everything in between) with a bit of comedy in them, sometimes stupid comedic videos that only loosely ties to tech, and other things I might try out. I'm always open to new ideas, and try to read all comments!

So that’s what I set out to do, so let’s talk about the iPad desk setup I put together, and some tips and tricks for you to create the perfect iPad Desk Setup for yourself. Let’s talk about.
