UK Announces Digital Wallet for IDs and Driver's Licenses
Very excited for this, my Apple Wallet is packed full of stuff and the only thing I'd keep in an actual wallet that hasn't made it in yet is a form of ID.
This feature was announced about 4 years ago, so it's taken a bit of time but good to see it is on it's way. 4 years actually feels like quite a long time given how quickly UK banks rolled out Apple Pay compatibility.

Nintendo Switch 2 – First-look trailer
My first Nintendo was the NES, followed by the GameBoy, the Nintendo 3DS and then the Wii.
It's been close to 20 years since my last purchase of a Nintendo console but I've been thinking about a Switch for a bit... With the Switch 2 on the way, maybe this is the year?
The bigger screen is not important to me at all, but the larger Joy-Con controllers looks great and would be more comfortable to hold when playing on the go.
I'd add it all to Good Gear Club but there's no pricing information available just yet.

Vintage Hand-Drawn VHS Labels
I remember doing this, back in the 90s. More likely for TV shows we tapped rather than movies.

I Tried to Teach My Son Soccer. Here's What He Taught Me.
I am on this particular journey with my son at the moment. He's graduated from doing the basics indoor with a club to playing outdoors. I'm less involved than I was with the indoor version where we had 15 minutes each week to tire each other out and it's more about him getting to grips with the elements, proper studded boots and using all of the skills he has.
In his previous club, or class, it was obvious the challenge was no longer there so we tried to create some. That meant me intervening, like Rory did, but now that he's somewhere new it's all up to him and the instructions he gets from the coaches. My interventions were more about bringing his team into it the game with him, and I get the sense that there's an aspect of that in the article. Keeping the ball in play is one thing, but you want it to go to a team mate so it stays alive.

Apple TV's Hardware Situation Is Fine
If Front Row was still a thing, then a Mac Mini as your media hub would actually make a lot of sense.
