Touching Gadgets Recap

8/28/2013

Along with writing a couple of posts this past week for my gadget (porn) opinion and commentary blog I also rolled out a minor refresh to the site. And there's more to come! I've felt for a while that I have no motivation (and as of late, no TIME) to write, even to blog. So instead, I've been taking my morning drive and vlogging to myself.

You'd think I could just turn on an audio recorder and be done with it, but no -- I actually turn on the camera and start vlogging (like the good old days). But instead of posting it online, eventually I sit down with the video and type it up, edit a little, and post it online. Or at least, that's what I've done with ONE vlog-to-blog. I have about three or four more sitting in the pipeline, waiting to be transcribed.

I THINK it's a good process, at least for Touching Gadgets, and time will tell if I'm even remotely correct.

Here's a recap of all the gadgety-fun (in reverse-chronological order, starting with that aforementioned vlog-to-blog)

I'm THAT Guy - 08/22/2013

There are a lot of different aspects to my digital/creative consulting business (which serves Orlando, Winter Park, and Central Florida area). Although I primarily focus on creative consulting for small and online businesses -- I design and build websites, produce videos, and generate creative content -- the other services I offer are technical consulting, recommendations, purchasing assistance, and a little tech support here and there.

It’s recently occurred to me that I REALLY SHOULD emphasize the buying assistance portion of the program because I’m “that guy” family members go to. I’m the tech guy in the office. I’m the guy people go to for help using their new Android phone because the last phone they used was a dumbphone (sorry--FEATUREphone) that was bought in 1998. I’m the guy people go to when they need help using their gadgets and devices, whether it’s Android, iOS, Windows, or miniature-unicorn powered toasters.

OH. EM. GEE. Mac Pro Cinema Ad Rocks out to Muse - 08/24/2013

My fingers .... they're itching to touch the new Mac Pro!!!!

This is, in my humble creative opinion, a brilliant piece of advertising. Apple nailed it and it definitely feels like a call-back to some of their more iconic advertisements.

Google+ is Eating YouTube, one bitter morsel at a time - 08/24/2013

We're already well aware of the unified Google+ login/identification on YouTube, but this was news to me today. Google automatically created a Google+ page for my YouTube channel. I haven't delved into it at all (I don't even use Google+) but the writing is clearly on the wall: Google+ is devouring YouTube. One day, our YouTube channel URL's will simply redirect to a Google+ page.

Could the Wacom Intuos Creative make the iPad mini usable? - 08/26/2013

I should be writing about it soonish, but my experience with drawing on the iPad mini has been pretty bad. Between the lack of bezel and Apple's touch rejection algorithms, even Wacom's comfortable Bamboo Stylus is a pain to use. (The mini's underpowered processor and paltry RAM also don't help.)

Engadget posted a fairly uninformative hands-on of Wacom's new (dropping in October) Bluetooth-enabled stylus. I like the form factor of the Intuos stylus and the Bluetooth connectivity provides some kind of palm-rejection wizardry, which I would hope overrules the iPad mini's in-built algorithms. Even if it doesn't, this pen on a regular iPad might be a joy to use.

It's like SyFy Channel'sSharknado.But withoutTARA REID.

Also, there are no sharks in jordan Krumbine'sDISASTERGEDDON

Instead of sharks, disastergeddon! has dinosaurs.

And instead of tara Reid,Disastergeddon! hasaliensa vampire-human hybridand a chick that hulks-out and is calledjuggernaughty.

Even without Sharks and Tara Reid,DIsastergeddon! would make a great SyFy original movie.Which is why Jordan Krumbine Wrote them a letter pitching just that.(they never responded. assholes. I love you?)
