A few years ago, my wife and I were walking down a street in Zihuantanejo (Mexico) when a VW bug stopped in the middle of the street. A gentleman jumped out of the car and ran over to us, hollering in delight.
It was a waiter from one of our favorite restaurants; and having just arrived, we hadn’t been to see him…yet.
He insisted we come over to the car and meet the family (all six of them), including their 6-month-old.
I’m sitting here, staring at a collection of gadgets that fall into a very specific category among fellow geeks.
Yep, I’m staring at a pile of “stuff” that includes a wide-ranging array of gadgets including wireless earbuds, portable chargers, smart home devices and, yes, even a keyboard. Sort of a smorgasbord of devices. And, as with any pile of delicacies, let’s start at the top.
“There are some things success is not. It's not fame. It's not money or power. Success is waking up in the morning so excited about what you have to do that you literally fly out the door. It's getting to work with people you love. Success is connecting with the world and making people feel. It's finding a way to bind together people who have nothing in common but a dream. It's falling asleep at night knowing you did the best job you could. Success is joy and freedom and friendship. And success is love.” – Jenny Garrison, “Fame,” MGM, 2009
Apple’s big unveil last month was different. Great, but … different.
In Steve’s day, he’d amble onto the stage, people would scream/swoon, he’d throw a camera that didn’t work at a hapless guy in the front row (who now works at WalMart), sit down on a chair, take off his socks and say, “and today, we bring you iSocks.” People would scream (again), run from the theater to the Apple store, and snatch up all the iSocks they could.
Say farewell to the “click.” Forever!
Mirrorless cameras have stealthily hit the DSLR market, which enables us to silence the annoying click or clatter every time we press the shutter button to take pictures.
We’ve been playing with the new Nikon Z6 ($1999.95 body only or $2499.95 for a kit including a 24-70 mm zoom lens and a FTZ lens adapter) and it was love at first non-click.
