Let's Talk Tech
Taking a trip down memory lane.
The Canon 7D is one of my all time favorite cameras. I bought it to produce a webseries in the early days of online media. While I contemplate switching to another camera system today, I wanted to spend a little time taking this tank back out for a little fun.
Eleven years later, it’s still performing like when it was new… That’s some legit pro gear… Continue reading “Canon 7D in 2021: Shooting on a TEN Year Old Camera!”
We can always count on techies to “punch down” on brands with smaller marketing departments.
Sony is now apparently one of the targeted brands, falling into the techie “common knowledge” net of a company that ‘just can’t do anything right’.
It’s not enough to make videos celebrating Samsung and Apple on their own merits. We also need there to be phone “losers”, so Samsung and Apple can be seen ‘winning’.
Whether it’s refusing to include a Pixel in a camera comparison, or highlighting a Galaxy Fold in a Sony editorial. It seems we’re just going to keep reinforcing the same tired tropes that get our community mocked ruthlessly on Reddit.
It’s fine. This is fine.

Following President Biden’s inauguration, we can finally have a conversation about repairing the damage done over the last four years.
We have a lot of things to fix. It’s going to take a lot of work. It’s time for us techies to join the political conversation in earnest.
We’re the right geeks for the job! Continue reading “Tech is Politics: We have a lot of work to do.”
Removing SD card expansion from phones is dumb.
Our premium phones continue to lose features every generation. While they get more powerful, they also become less useful, and we can’t as easily expand their functionality over time.
Is there anything we can do to stop this trend? Continue reading “Samsung is Killing the SD Card! Can we Save it?”
Talking about mid-ranger phones, plenty of techies concerned about processing power, and how those phones will age over time. So, why don’t more techies really benchmark older mid-range phones?
I guess I’ll do it!
Let’s take a four year old mid-ranger, and benchmark it against a modern mid ranger! Continue reading “Using an Old Mid Range Phone in 2021? Does it still work?”
As we use tech to combat hearing loss, our pocket computers are powerful enough to pull off some impressive audio processing. Sampling sound around us, reducing noise, and helping us hear things we might have otherwise missed.
It’s not just about making the sound around you louder, but reducing the noise competing for our attention. Can an app on your phone turn that phone into a hearing aid? Let’s take a listen! Continue reading “#2020Hearing: Can an app turn your phone into a hearing aid? Google Sound Amplifier Review!”
