Week Sixteen Two Short Weeks & Too Much To Do
Oh BOY do I have some cool stuff in the box. Trouble is, I have had a few too many days taken out and getting it all published is suffering. But keep an eye here as a cascade of cool stories is coming your way, as is a new style of review. Finally pandering to the lazy of effort and probably really going to piss off my minority but passionate aspie following. (My nursey friend in the Sony video at the top of the products list on TATV right now, tells me I am far too high in social skills to be an aspie or to be on the savant scale of a kind of special) but I do seem to be loved by those who like the minutiae. My Scots chum Gwynn aughta be grinning. I love ya man!
In the Pandora’s box is not USA Pandora radio but a bucket of digital tunes and seriously, in a world that often eschews use of radio of any kind, GET A DAB! I once found a field full of SPL heads that I had taken a short range FM transmitter to play with, had nary an aerial connected amongst them. The Kenwood DAB units sold currently, come with a glass mount small antenna with a tiny but clever signal amplifier inside. Said to out perform many roof mount designs, it is worthy of a thought. I have been to see the new 2014 range of Kenwood kit and while we remain at 32Bit rather than 64Bit FLAC, to even include it at all is still unique in car audio. I also got to see the new Pioneer ordnance at the National Motorcycle museum and caught up with JVC at the Gadget Show Live Professional day. Sadly, my man Simon King was reeking of virus of pox at the time, so sensibly avoided being a modern Typhoid Mary and infecting a swathe of show-goers by staying away. However, after his bravura video of the Adixxion GC-XA1 action camera being used by the company for their training videos, we may be trying him out on the new one, videoed at the NEC.
I have videos to do of the new toys from InCar Tec and I can tell you that a video I did of that USB add-on device has gone viral and hit nearly 130,000 views in very short order. I am even getting the odd bob in from Google Ireland. Far from rent paying but I am working on that, too.
There is a Lamborghini Aventador Mansory awaiting, as well as interviews with top Morel guys from the Philippines and Eire, so I will shut up and get on! Oh yeah, and I am going to do Steve Meade’s Tahoe and have a System of The Month to do too oh dear.. it ain’t all going to be tomorrow!
