Since recently getting an iPhone 15 Pro, one of the features I've wanted to explore is the USB video recording feature. In short, iPhone 15 Pros can record high resolution video directly to an external storage device. This is useful because it makes it much easier to transfer to my computer for editing later. I am planning on making a short film for the UVM Ski & Snowboard Club spring film festival, and this will be useful for that.
Having a good mouse is pretty key to my productivity since I often find myself working in different software and in different environments. I also have a laptop dock, and use a mouse when I am at my desk. The MXMaster series from Logitech has held a solid reputation for years, and the MXMaster 3S is a great portable option from them. It's nice and simple, rechargeable, and it can work wireless when necessary.
This is a travel router. What is it used for? For one, it can create a wifi (and wired) network on the go, which is useful for troubleshooting among other things. Another useful feature is that I could plug a usb drive into it and then access those files over the network. As nerd of many interests, this would be an extremely useful tool for me.
This is a network switch; ie it allows me to connect multiple computers together. This switch specifically has higher-speed ports. I have this on my wishlist because it will be useful for my learning to experiment with different network policies.
Since getting my Amateur Radio Technician's license in September, I've gotten pretty deep into the hobby. There are certain digital messaging techniques - specifically DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) and APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) that I have been looking to try out. They enable some interesting things that would allow me to make contacts even further away and test out new stuff. Anytone radios are a sort of value brand digital radio but they still provide great customizability.
This is another accessory for the GoPro that I got this summer. It adds a microphone as well as various attachment points and ports that make it easier to improve filming quality.
This summer, I bought a GoPro. I am very much looking forward to using it for this upcoming ski season to work on my short film. As you probably know, batteries tend to lose some capacity in the gold. This item is 2 extra batteries and a dual charger. Counting the 1 battery I already have, this will enable me to carry 3 batteries for all-day filming.
While I am not the biggest "gamer", there is one particular game I've been eyeing up recently. It is called Cities: Skylines 2, and it is effectively a city planning game. If you know anything about me (cough cough my fascination with trains) you could see why I am interested in this game. The "2" denotes the fact that this is the second edition of the game and it is detailed to point that each simulated person has a full set of teeth. I used to draw up utopia cities in a sketchbook a long time ago, and thi
