Oh God, Public facing blogs O.o

So where does one even start one of these, well the whole point of this is to document my exploration with technology and to get myself into the habit of writing out a daily journal of one sort or another, as it's something I've wanted to do for a while, but have yet to do sofar. It usually ends up with me getting it a few times a week and then it dropping off as i get distracted or uninspired or just give up on it.

So we shall see how this blog ends up going, might start with doing some reviews of the tech i currently have and any mods i have made etc....

So I will get started with that as i have a pretty nice everyday carry setup If I may be so bold
But for now I am signing off

Parital Teardown / Repair of Sony MDR-XB650BT

Welcome to another edition of I broke something, SO LETS FIX IT. While on my daily adventures I had the misfortune of my headphones falling from my head and hitting the ground, the result of thus is the controller board for the headphones became loose due to a small piece of plastic breaking free, which technically meant that the controls didn't work and charging wasn't functioning. So like any good tinkerer would do......it sat on my workbench for 3 months and then i eventually got to it during coffee time one morning this week.

( as shown in the below picture. Screw holes are revealed after the earcuff is gently removed from headphones. First take out the three ...

Google Home

So the Google home, (before you ask about the mini, I don't have one of those yet, I got one of the full size ones) One of my favorite christmas presents and the most fun wireless speaker I have had In a very long time, and can honestly say I use everyday. From adding calendar events to setting alarms to just listening to music, it fits into the niche of tech that i am into, ( that being minimal design, but extensible usability). It does have it's pitfalls, such as intermittently not being able to hear pitch properly, Thus not being able to authenticate the user properly, which given the alternative, I would rather be locked out than my data accessed by just anyone wandering in my room. That problem can be minimized by using different pitches and or inflections in your voice when setting up the initial "Hey google, Okay Google....." (Trust me you'll be tired of setting it up to when you change out phones like me, story for another day) But All things In t...
