Sometimes you just need a satisfying tech unboxing.
Here’s a little ASMR unboxing of the new Lisen Qi2.2 magsafe charger making its way into my everyday carry. It charges at 25W through MagSafe and 65W fast charging through USB-
C. With an included USB-C charging cable strap. Hope you enjoy the clicks, peels, and tiny details.
Thank you to Lisen for sending this out for me to check out.

What’s inside your tech pouch? 👀

After years of testing tech, traveling, and creating content, I’ve finally narrowed down the gear I actually carry every day. From a power bank and charging cables to SD card storage and a few other essentials, these are the gadgets that have earned a permanent spot in my tech pouch.

Some of these products have saved me on shoots more times than I can count, while others just make everyday life a little easier.

🎥 The full video is live now on YouTube! Hit the link in my bio to see everything that’s inside, why I carry it, and whether it’s worth adding to your own setup.

New video out. Link in my Bio. I tested three different robotic pool cleaners from Beatbot in the same pool by dirtying and cleaning it three separate times 🏊‍♂️

There isn’t a single “best” option here — it really comes down to use case:
• Sora 10 = simple, lightweight, budget-friendly
• Sora 30 = the sweet spot for most pools
• Sora 70 = strongest suction, longest runtime, and pool skimming 👀

All three use the same app, but the Sora 70 adds obstacle avoidance and extra smart features that really stood out during testing.

Full comparison is live now on YouTube — link in bio if you’re trying to figure out which one actually makes sense for your pool.

This camera is older than most of the internet 📷
The Polaroid OneStep from the 70s and 80s proves that good design — and good photos — don’t expire.

No screen. No settings. Just press the button and wait.
It’s slow, imperfect, and somehow still feels special.

Old tech still hits.

I spent way too much time trying to design the perfect studio setup.
One layout. One “right” way to create.

And it almost stopped me from creating at all.

Your studio doesn’t need to be permanent.
Move things around. Change it up. Let your space evolve with you.

Create first. Adjust later.

If your video looks choppy or “off,” this might be why 🎥
The 180-degree shutter rule helps your footage look smooth and natural by adding the right amount of motion blur.

Frame rate × 2 = shutter speed
Simple fix. Big difference.

Pretty stoked about how my second roll of film turned out 🎞️!

Shot all of this on Kodak Portra 400 on my trusty Canon AE1 back in August of 2025.

Huge thanks to my Fiancée for capturing the first photo of me - means a lot!

Been diving back into film and it's forcing me to re-learn photography, but I'm absolutely loving the process. Let me know what you think and what I can work on!

You don’t need a ton of gear to get great photos 📸
On a budget photo trip, these two lenses cover almost everything I shoot.

If you’re trying to travel lighter, spend less, and still come back with solid shots — this setup just works.
