About

I like making technical things simple. A UX developer's non-evangelistic on take Apple products featuring mediocre camera work, awkward on-camera presence, cheap motion graphics, wedged in footage from hikes / original musical compositions / craft beer and zero aspirations of becoming a professional YouTuber. This mess is an outgrowth of the Definitive Mac Pro Upgrade Guides written by me and accidentally became one of the backbones of the Mac Pro upgrade community. If you'd like to know more, check out my blog: https://blog.greggant.com/ https://www.patreon.com/dmug Those pretty places in my videos are probably the PNW.
