Hands on Katie

A few holiday thoughts!

Well I'm just back from a little break! I went to see Harry Potter Studios with my kids as my daughter finished all the books.

I found various ideas for future videos from Harry Potter, but I have to say, staying in a 10th Century castle hotel was even more cooler - I mean, I was basically at home! It was built by one of William the Conquerors buddies who saw fit to put Welsh dragons everywhere, I found some secret doors all over the place and I had my dinner in a dungeon! What more could I want??

If that wasn't enough, I spotted the whole place was protected by 6ft stone walls, 6 inch thick wooden doors and Reolink cameras everywhere. Clearly, even in the 10th Century they all had good taste in security cameras.... unlike the French at the Louvre where it didn't even work properly... 🙈

I felt so proud of my Reolink, I popped an extra 8tb drive into my NVR as soon as I got back!

Anyway, I'm back to some fun stuff - I've got Patreon gifts for my first year supporters going out this week and you'll LOVE the devices and projects, they're some of the coolest all year...!
