What’s Your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Photography, Workspaces Leave a comment

every day carry

I was working on my quick review of the AirPods Pro and was going to take a few photos of it. Ended up emptying my pockets and took an opportunity to take this shot using my Sony A6300 which has been collecting dust since I’ve been taking almost all my photos with the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I don’t really carry that much stuff and this is basically everything you see here except for my driver’s license. What’s your EDC?

 

What’s On My Desk Summer 2019

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Geek Life, Workspaces Leave a comment

Been awhile since I’ve done one of these. I normally have a MacBook Pro 13 2018 on my desk but I just recently got back into PC gaming and also sold my Xbox One X a few days ago. I’m still keeping the Sony PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch for exclusives though. So here’s what’s on my desk!

  • MSI GS65 9SE – currently my main rig for work and gaming.  This thing is an absolute beast and can handle all the new games you throw at it. My Macbook Pro 13 inch is now assigned to being a travel laptop and Final Cut Pro machine.
  • HP Envy 32 – 32 inch display 2560×1440 resolution. I think I’ve had this for about 5 years
  • Sony SRSHG1 HearGo Bluetooth Speaker – Small but mighty. It can connect USB, bluetooth 3.5, Wifi, Google Cast… you name it. This thing is amazing and sounds great
  • SteelSeries Apex 7 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – This is the best keyboard I have ever typed on. No joke. I don’t even care about the gimmicky lights!
  • Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse – I finally upgrade from an old Logitech M510 and the difference is night and day. Love how comfortable it feels to use and the horizontal scroll wheel is a game changer for working on spreadhseets. I have this at my desk and an MX Anywhere 2s in my laptop bag
  • Xbox One Controller (White) – for gaming. I sometimes use the PS4 controller for PSP emulated games
  • Sony RX100 Mark V Digital Camera – I just recently upgraded from the Sony RX100 III earlier this year and I’ve taken that across six continents. I am planning on taking this camera to 7 in a year or two. This camera is amazing to carry around on trips especially when you want to take better quality photos than your smartphone.
  • iPhone XS Max 256GB Space Gray – Trusty iPhone that goes everywhere with me. It’s a smartphone that does it’s job and does it reliably. Running the developer version of iOS13 and it paired with my Apple Watch Series 4 smartwatch


 

Heloideo Battery Power Bank for iPhone and USB C Android Phones with Built in Lightning Review

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Reviews Leave a comment

My review of the Heloideo Power Bank for the iPhone and USB-C devices. This has the lightning cable and USB-C connections built right in which is cool. Only concern is that I don’t see this labeled as MFI certified (made for iPhone) so that might cause some concerns. This however charged my iPhone X without problems, as well as my Samsung Galaxy S8+ I apologize for the crappy quality of the video. I was sick and I don’t have all my camera equipment unpacked from moving!

Samsung’s hottest new phone is now on sale for $649 on Amazon. No guarantee on how long that deal will last but these current retail at $720+ so I’d jump on it now. This is the GSM International Unlocked model and will work on T-Mobile, AT&T and other GSM carriers in the USA, as well as all over the world. If you need the Verizon version, you can get it here. The Galaxy S8 is arguable the best looking phones out right now, as well as having one of the best cameras trumping the iPhone 7 according to Mac World!

The Galaxy S8 features:

  • Infinity Display: a bezel-less, full-frontal, edge-to-edge screen. Default resolution is Full HD+ and can be changed to Quad HD+ (WQHD+) in Settings
