Craig Grannell20 years married today. So, natch, we spent the day with an 11yo in a safari park. Fun was had. But now I feel like one of the furry critters we saw.
Craig GrannellNew #introduction:
Writer/journo of 20+ years, mostly #Apple, #tech (incl. vestibular #accessibility), #apps and #games (mobile/web/Mac). I’ve written print and online such as Wired and Stuff. On Mastodon, I write #DailyRetroGame.
If you have made something interesting, email me.
Other bits: on Mastodon since 2018. I write music but am terrible at releasing any. Keen on Lego and comics. Adore mini Schnauzers and miss our wee boy (who passed in 2022) every day.
Do say hello!
