Let's Talk Tech
Damn I love breaking in new headphones. Playing with some terrific low cost options! How about some well-tuned single-driver in-ear monitors, with a TON of accessories in the box, at a price roughly half of their targeted competition? MEE Audio has something special on their hands, but the ear buds themselves are only PART of the story… Continue reading “MEE Audio M6 Pro Review PART 1: Pro audio for the masses!”

When I shot a comparison between the LG V40 and the V30, I wanted to see how much of that video I could produce from a phone. In part, because I was stuck waiting for my iPhone camera review to finish rendering. Under that kind of time crunch, I was happy that I was able to almost completely finish off that review. Of course, there were some issues. Some not so small issues. What did we learn about mobile video production? Continue reading “Making a whole video on the LG V40: What did we learn?”
Every manufacturer makes claims about their products, but Apple is makes a HUGE claim about their smaller, premium, iPhone XS by attaching a HUGE price tag. Judging value is extremely difficult (and often very personal), but let’s break down the pros and cons one month later. Does the iPhone XS live up to its price tag?

Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel!
There’s just something in the air. I’d almost go so far as to call it an existential conflict. For a number of creators that have been at this game for a while, many of my friends are shifting gears, looking at how to keep things fresh. When you depend on your creativity to pay the bills, it puts a lot of pressure on a very finite resource. Your attention, your skills.
Flo Ion is one of my favorite voices in the consumer tech space. She seems to effortlessly move from corny jokes in a smartphone podcast, to joining heavy political discussions, and she’s not afraid to make a discussion personal. But that’s the trick isn’t it. The people who are really good at hosting and joining a discussion make it look easy. Keeping a regular production schedule while pitching freelance articles.
