Can you REALLY use your phone to do EVERYTHING? SomeGadgetGuy on Relatecasts Podcast!

Here’s the thing.

I actually don’t have a problem with the IDEA of a premium/expensive phone, but what I want to see is the phone start to disrupt OTHER computers. Many manufacturers are looking to mobile processors (ARM chips) for future laptops and computers. If those new portable machines use the same processor as your phone, why can’t we just use the phone?

I had a blast joining the crew at RelateCasts on the ‘Tech Down Over’ podcast to talk about expectations on phone performance, and finding the right phone for you. Give it a listen! Give it a share!

#SGGQA 064: Creator Chat – Yuri Lowenthal on Spider-Man and Orbital Redux

Welcome to another creator chat on the SGGQA podcast channel!

Let’s talk about getting projects finished. How our own expectations might get in the way when we’re working on our passion projects. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not very common to see someone finish what they set out to make.

This week my guest just happens to represent one of my longest lasting friendships in Hollywood, so please excuse the love that I’m gonna gush all over this guy. As our careers have shifted, and we’ve grown our families, we don’t get to talk as often as we’d probably like.

Yuri Lowenthal is an incredible actor, writer, producer, and all around super cool guy. I rewrote this intro several times, just trying to properly set the stage for his prolific body of work. Animation, television, feature films, video games, web series, building audiences and friendships with every project he works on, in every genre.

Most recently the voice of Peter Parker in Spider-Man on the PS4, and starring in an astoundingly ambitious live action sci fi series called Orbital Redux on The Nerdist, but this guy also has an IMDB credit list longer than my torso.

I could probably spend as long celebrating Yuri as our actual conversation took to record, but he just has that affect on people. So I’m gonna get out of the way here, and let’s talk to Mr. Lowenthal about making cool things for people to enjoy.

Are Smartphones Creating a Deaf Generation? Dr. Alison Grimes, Director of Audiology, UCLA

Are smartphones making you deaf? The modern smartphone has only been in existence for ten years, too brief a time to properly study all of the behavioral and physiological effects of such a new technology, especially for how quickly it changes and evolves. Yet over this window of time, from the Walkman to the iPod, and through the reign of the iPhone, we are starting to see increasing rates of hearing loss in children and young adults. I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Alison Grimes, Director of Audiology at UCLA, to discuss some of the more recent trends in hearing health and lifestyle technology.

Interview: Monika McMahon chats Noiselace Necklaces – Fashionable Earplugs for Concert Fans!

I got to meet Monika during my recent adventure out to the Firefly 2014 Music Festival with the Microsoft Lumia and MixRadio crews. She’s a concert and travel blogger who created the Noiselace Necklace, a MUCH more fashionable way to protect your hearing while out at shows than traditional gummy earplugs.
