Spoiler: It’s not this “accolade”, but the friends you make along the way… Continue reading “My Silver Play Button: Arriving almost a year later…”

LG Wing Review: The most fun I’ve had this year!

LG Wing review!

Yup. This phone is big. This phone is a little more fragile. This phone is expensive.

What’s in a name? The Pixel 5 is NOT an upgrade over the Pixel 4?

A gadget’s name is important. Branding takes time to establish, and it serves as a shortcut for consumers. A potential customer doesn’t need to analyze every aspect of the gadget. If they liked SmartyPhone5, when it’s time to upgrade, they’ll probably like SmartyPhone7.
