    Eights Months With Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses

    The second generation of Meta’s smart glasses is clearly a success. And after using a pair for 8 months, I love them.

  • Bellroy Card Pocket: Surprisingly Practical

    Bellroy Card Pocket: Surprisingly Practical

    I try to pay using Apple Pay as much as I can. When it’s not possible or I have to show someone my ID or driver’s license, I always have Apple’s Leather Wallet with MagSafe on the back of my phone. And when that’s not enough and I need to pay in cash or use…

    Bellroy Lite Sling: The One To Get

    Fun story — right after I got this bag, I went to Hamburg to see my favorite band, alt-J. Right when the show ended, I realized that the person who was in front of me the whole time had exactly the same bag in the same color. I swear, s**t like happens to me all the time.…

    I started my journey with Apple just 2.5 years ago with buying a 2015 MacBook Air. I had to buy a new computer, and after spending some time with an iMac at my work, I knew I had to get a Mac. And for less than €999, the Air was really the only option I…

  • HomePod is great. Don’t buy it.

    HomePod is great. Don’t buy it.

    My story behind buying a HomePod is very similar to the one about how I got my first smartwatch — the LG G Watch. Back in 2014, I was a huge Google nerd. I was just waiting for Google to release a watch version of Android OS. That finally happened and allowed manufacturers to compete with Pebble…
