just doin my best

product critic at Google

used to be at The Verge

i still love technology, always and forever
I generally agree with those that are tired of every appliance getting questionably useful "smarts", but I legit love getting a push notification when our washer or dryer is done. now it's also including tips based on local conditions, which is neat! (it was really humid out today)

if you're looking for a fresh WearOS watchface, I cannot recommend this one highly enough

info dense w/o being busy; extremely customizable; works for sporty or more classic looks. it's my fav 3rd party watchface and what I repeatedly go back to

I know it's a cliché, but you really gotta hold and use the S25 Edge to appreciate it

ya boy loves a lightweight phone!

my favorite part of having an AI helper on my phone is how it makes small annoying tasks easier

I bought these headphones over a month ago, couldn't remember what I paid, didn't feel like doing the manual search and sift through email receipts so I just asked Gemini to do it

just so everyone is clear, this post is a bit, I do not have a switch 2 and my wife and kids are pure figments of my imagination

always love when I can put the Pixel camera's long exposure mode to good use

(also love that I can just tap a mode button on my phone and snap a pic to get a shot like this. doing this with a "real" camera requires a lot of extra equipment - tripod, ND filters, etc - and skill)

loving the live sports scores in the S25's now bar / notification shade, especially when the score is Yankees up by 12

the irony of using one of the most maximalist smartphones you can buy and putting a minimalist interface on it

everytime I see the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro's camera module I think of a droid from Star Wars and I love it

if Gemini is being too verbose, you can tell it to remember that you prefer short, concise answers and then it will give you direct answers

the OnePlus Watch 3 is a tremendous smartwatch option for those that are on Android and want a long-lasting AND fully featured smartwatch.
