Context I've always enjoyed reviewing things, from writing extended reviews about products on amazon, movies and games on social media, to random life experiences and activities, at times more of a rant. However, I have too many interests with not enough knowledge / experience in most topics to write detailed reviews or in depth comparison for most topics. So I want to write more on the impact on my life experience, rather than specific product or performance with its competitors. In short, I'm not trying to write about Bose QuietComfort 35 vs Sony WH-1000xm3; I want to talk about if the products' "concept" is even necessary (for me), and why I think it may or may not be useful to people.  Today I will start with the noise cancelling headphone, and I may want to write about Kindle, Apple Watch and a few things in the future. I purchased the Bose QuietComfort 35 II in November 2018, and have used it for over 3 months now.  ANC headphones  Active noise ...

What is "Audio Only Media" I came up with it on the fly and too lazy to research if there's a proper term. What I mean is media we obtain that relies 100% on listening and nothing else. The specific examples I'm talking about would be - Podcast and Audio Book. Maybe radio. However, other media can be consumed in this form if you forego the visual aspects (listening to a youtube video or w.e show on without watching).  As a disclaimer, I only started to become an avid audio book listener thanks to my new book reading habit - I do both, traditional and audio, or particularly, Audible (man Bezos' everywhere). But today I want to focus on the topic of just listening to something, not the value of reading a book. Podcast vs audio book is discussion for another time akin to reading a book vs reddit / online news articles. Today - only audio vs visual.  Changed your life? Really?  It may be a bit of an exaggeration by the degree which it has, but it has opene...

What I think vs what I do: How it changed from when I was young to now To start this with a digression, I was always a hobby "writer" / blogger, anywhere from tracking my life experiences akin to a diary entry to an attempt at a technical summary on things I've learnt. A problem I tend to have is I half expect my far-and-few-in-between readers (often posted as facebook posts) to have quite a bit of understanding of me as a person and my past, while having multiple running themes and topics across posts. They can be awkward to dissect on any particular writing due to the lack of focus and assumption of existing context. Ultimately, I always wrote for myself , it is a way for me to express and reflect, and for self-amusement. Yet despite my clear goals with little to do with anyone else, it was refreshing and motivating to find out some friends read my writings and found it interesting, providing some feedback or discussion, privately or publicly. So it increasingly bec...
