So here's an update from me:
Last summer, I stepped down as Review Geek's EIC. Since then, I've started freelance writing several places, but just to pay some bills.
The thing I've really been working on... is a YouTube channel:

Well... I was gonna order one of these, take it to CES and do a review about it after. But they sold out in five seconds flat. Got it in the cart... sold out by the time I got to checkout. Oh well.

Wow so Ars Technica is hiring. I love and adore what I've built on YouTube. But when I originally started writing for a living it was with a dream of someday writing for Ars. Hm.

Picked up a taco kit at @meijer yesterday and made it today. It tasted like poison. Checked the box and it’s expired by over a year. What the heck Meijer?

I adore this lock. But they're doing something that's illegal in the US (just ask @iFixit ). I've sadly probably burned this relationship by calling it out so heavily. But it's the right thing to do.
During my first ever CES, I encountered a new product that completely blew me away, the Noveto's "invisible headphones." And I wasn't alone. It won several "best of CES" awards. But then the company disappeared, and never released the product. I thought I'd never hear it again.

This is the longest video I’ve ever published, but for getting our car things working again, it’s worth it.

Anyone tried to use a @FrameworkPuter for video editing when traveling? Curious about both the 13 and 16. Wondering how far Core Ultra processors have come, or if the 16 is good now. I'd just buy a MacBook pro for M series processors ...but I like the idea of repairability.

I have to admit, ever since someone pointed out the colors I chose made this project look like an etch-a-sketch I can't not see it. But this was fun and you can make one too! I included the STL for free.

I have to admit. I'm honestly curious if the new Mac Mini is powerful enough to create my YouTube videos.

Anytime I spend a week or more exclusively using a laptop and its keyboard, I always feel the need to hug my ergonomic keyboard when I get it back. My hands, how they have missed you.

Walp, guess I'm going to have to look at upgrading my NAS situation if my YouTube channel keeps growing like it is. Actually managed to fill my 8 TB system.

I don't know how to say this politely. But it doesn't matter how good your product looks. The moment you ask me to "buy a review unit from Amazon, we promise to reimburse you later, please make 6 videos" ... the review is canceled, and I'ma ghost you.

Anyone got a @BBC contact that can get this fixed? Not sure if this is your piece @daniel_thomasg:
"The hackers, who call themselves "Have I Been Pwned", made off with more than 31 million email addresses, usernames and passwords." view.email.bbc.com/?vawpToke…

After reviewing the iFixit Soldering Iron station, I got a lot of questions to the tune of "but how does it compare to the Pinecil and Miniware irons?"
There's only one way to find out. Buy them, buy some soldering kits, and put them head to head.
