Let's Talk Tech

Maybe the most excited I’ve been to unbox a tablet, Microsoft sent over this beauty with a keyboard blade and a Surface Slim Pen! Let’s share some EARLY out of the box thoughts on this new convertible PC! Continue reading “A Rambling Unboxing of the Surface Pro 9 5G!”
Pixel Watch impressions!
Using the Pixel Watch for a couple weeks, I have more questions than answers.
Lots of criticisms point to the omissions and the first generation aspect, but what’s really important in a watch? I don’t think this is the watch for me, but there’s one feature which might be a deal maker for other folks.
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Google Pixel Watch: What really matters in a wearable?”
It’s LITERALLY Halloween, and I don’t have a costume!
I had grand plans to buy some fancy PJ’s for this month’s stream, and it all fell apart. With so much REAL spooky happening in the world, I think we should take a minute (or a couple hours) to detail the scary fiction we’ve consumed this month.

My first impressions of the Picel 7 Pro are live on Mobile IQ! I’m not sure why this video was delayed, I shot it a week ago, but it’s ready to go now!
The new Google Pixel 7 Pro is here! We’re taking a first look at Google’s new phone, and sharing some EARLY impressions! What’s new? What’s better? What still needs more work? Here we go!
The Duo and Duo 2 are finally on Android 12L!
Whenever there’s some Surface news, we can always count on some derisive tech commentary. The folks all too happy to show you how CLEVER they are in panning a niche device.
“I knew it wasn’t going to sell as many units as a POPULAR phone.”
To be fair, there is SOME fun in that. Folks who genuinely enjoy the Surface Duo can get a chuckle out of how small our community really is.
The idea I consistently need to push back against is this lazy notion that Microsoft’s updates for the Surface have been poor. It takes a terrific tech hack to look at the Duos, only look at an Android “number”, and say:
“It needs to be gooder BIGGER Android number!” Continue reading “Surface Duo and Android 12L – What is “good” Software Support?”
Velotric Discover 1 ebike road test!
How can we reduce the number of inefficient trips we take in a car?
I’m a big fan of moving to bikes and scooters for “short trip” commutes. I’m test driving some bikes from Velotric while also trying to lose a little pandemic weight. I’ve got a LOT of thoughts on the setup and the first couple rides.
Is an e-bike the right fit for your travel needs? Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Velotric Discover 1 E-Bike: Replacing my car for cheap!”
iFi Gryphon review! This might be one of the best audio products I’ve ever reviewed. It’s certainly one of the most flexible DACs I’ve ever tested. Gryphon delivers fantastic performance cabled or over Bluetooth, has solid battery life, and a number of settings to tweak and customize.
I can’t praise this enough. Let’s chat! Continue reading “ifi Audio xDSD Gryphon Portable DAC Review: GOLD STANDARD”
I’m spending a little time with the Pixel Watch, and I will be getting a proper review out soon. One of the things slowing me down, I’m terrified to use this watch out and about. The design is pretty, but the curved glass along all sides isn’t inspiring a lot of confidence.
It’s a rule I have for reviewing phones. I can’t really get a handle on USING the phone unless I have a case for it. The Pixel Watch feels similar, so when Ringke opened up pre-orders, I jumped quick to snag a case for the watch. Continue reading “Ringke Pixel Watch Case Review: A little protection helps…”
