Let's Talk Tech
Not quite my full review. I still can’t test 5G reception on my Korean Velvet, but we can talk about the rest of the phone! And there’s a LOT to talk about! It would be a mistake to look at the processor in this phone and make a conclusion on that one feature. The Velvet has a LOT to offer a BROAD range of consumers.

It’s always a funny quirk when you complain about something in a review, and then a company reaches out with something that helps solve that complaint. ZeroLemon has been solving a number of my problems of late.
Replacing the battery in my Note 4. Adding some run time in the field on my Pixel 4.
And now helping me charge my Pixelbook Go.
It’s just funny that I completely misunderstood what it was I thought I was going to review. Continue reading “ZeroLemon 90W 4-Port Charger: Not what I thought it was!”

Who would have thought we could improve on the tripod! Peak Design sent over the Aluminum version of the Travel Tripod, and this is maybe the happiest an accessory has ever made me. If you’re into mobility, travel gear, or just want to step up your family photos, a tripod is a handy way to improve your content. Here’s why a REALLY NICE tripod takes that even farther!

My favorite “unnecessary” Star Trek tech is in the Holodeck.
A Starfleet officer calls out “Arch”, and an archway with a touchscreen appears in the holographic simulation. It’s an utterly silly 1990’s idea of how we’d interact with computers hundreds of years in the future. When you think about Trek Tech, there’s really no need for such an elaborate mechanism to appear. A free-standing touch panel is all you need, but you’re also standing in a holographic environment, so why not make any kind of control surface you’d want out of the same “hard light” hologram magic?
That mini-nerd rant aside, the Pixelbook Go has become our family’s “Arch”. And we love it. Continue reading “How the Pixelbook Go became our Family Computer”
I’ve struggled with re-visiting the Pixel 4XL.
There’s an intangible quality to every phone that can’t quite be expressed by spec sheets and benchmarks. I can TELL you about the phone, and that still won’t properly convey how I FEEL about the phone.
With the Pixel 5 in limbo, it’s important to check back in with a phone that was pretty heavily panned by critics. For all my personal preferences on beastly hardware and mobile content creation, the Pixel 4XL is still the phone I have the hardest time taking my SIM card out of when I need to move on to a new review device.
There’s just something about the Pixel… Continue reading “Pixel 4XL: The most slighted phone of 2019 is still really good.”
Treat your ears!
A lot of consumer tech products seem to lack consideration for good audio. At this price there are plenty of ways to spruce up ONE audio spec, but very few boxes tackle as many different audio solutions.
Let’s take a listen to the SoundBlaster X3!
