In 2001, I traveled to the United Kingdom for work. I remember taking my SLR camera, and a VHS-C handy-cam. I guess I would have had a cellphone, too, but I don’t recall using it. I know I had a single, bulky power adapter from UK to New Zealand sockets. The next time I left […]

Peak Design Capture

When I was purchasing my new Peak Design Everyday Backpack Zip, I made sure to add another Peak Design product to my cart. I’d seen it mentioned previously, but the product demo for the backpack explicitly mentioned its use on the backpack. The product is the Peak Design Capture. The problem it solves is how […]

Peak Design Everyday Backpack Zip

There’s a guy I work with who is known in our circles as the one who buys far too many jackets. I think I may soon be known as the one who buys far too many backpacks. There are two problems to be solved. First, to carry my camera gear, laptop, and more when travelling, […]

Tech on Travel – the Africa Edition

Tech on Travel on a Ship in Iceland

Before we leave on a vacation, we pack way more tech than normal people, but probably about average for NosillaCastaways. Of course, we both brought our iPhones, and I brought my iPad Pro. But we both need laptops on our vacations. Yes, need not want. Laptops Steve and I both bought M1 14” MacBooks Pro […]

The 36,000 Word Bulleted List – by Allister Jenks

In April 2019, my wife and I embarked on our first overseas trip together in 21 years, to celebrate my 50th birthday. We spent a week in Singapore followed by a few days in Melbourne, Australia on the way home. One evening, a few days into the trip, I started to realise I was already […]

Tech on Travel – Chile Eclipse

Whenever I go on one of our big adventures, I learn something new about the tech I want to use on travel and how to get it to work best for me. It’s an evolving story that I think is helpful to document. This isn’t one, nice, cohesive explanation but rather a list of disparate […]

Photo Processing On the Go

In April I spent a week exploring Singapore, followed by three days in Melbourne, Australia and I took my “big boy” DSLR camera along to capture some of the sights. I also took a few other things with a view to solving a problem… how to take some of the 30 megabyte RAW files from […]
