  Fresh video review time, as I go out in this heat to run and test out the Anker Liberty 5 Pro headphones. Spoiler: It’s hot out there. Who knew? https://alexreviewstech.com/anker-soundcore-liberty-5-pro-headphones-review-video/

  Haven’t done a walk video for positively ages… so let’s go for a walk (and quick camera test) down Sydney’s Devonshire Street Tunnel, heading towards Central Station. https://youtu.be/WPS5LytNmT8

  Sunday night is quality movie time. Note: I'm not putting "good" before the word "quality" there. For a reason. #godzilla

  Google’s Pixel 11 Pro XL is a fine flagship phone… but it’s also a little hard for me to wholeheartedly recommend. Find out why in my full review! #Google #Pixel11ProXL #Android https://alexreviewstech.com/google-pixel-11-pro-xl-review-iterative-higher-price-ai-equals/

  Your Prince album of the day... isn't a Prince album, because I'm listening to the Beatles White Album instead. I'm starting to have my doubts about that Monkey, however. I suspect he does in fact have something to hide...

  Decided to randomly let my music server choose an album for me to listen to today. Turns out my music server has an odd sense of taste, because right now, I'm listening to "Chef Aid: The South Park Album"... something I forgot I owned and that I haven't listened to for at least 20 years...

  As a working tech journo, I’m used to getting press kits (or access to them) with stills and video for use in stories. It’s the way things are done, for better or worse. I don’t think I’ve ever waited 16 YEARS to use the video from one, though. Well… not until today, anyway. #Microsoft #Gaming #WindowsPhone #retrogaming https://alexreviewstech.com/could-xbox-live-have-saved-windows-phone-video/

  Time for me to run and review at the same time, as I put the Shokz OpenRun Air 2 headphones through their (and my) paces! #Shokz #Headphones #Review https://alexreviewstech.com/shokz-openrun-air-2-review-video/

  Fresh review time, as I put the “entry level” flagship in the Pixel range this year, the Google Pixel 11 through its paces. It’s not the fanciest Pixel… but this year, it might just be the best Pixel you can buy. Here’s why. #Google #Pixel11 #Smartphones https://alexreviewstech.com/google-pixel-11-review-dialling-it-up-to-eleven/

  About every five years or so, usually when I'm cleaning up, I find my copy of this cursed game. Its single solitary upside is that, back in the day, I got paid to review it. I should have held out for more money on reflection. The PTSD is real. #retrogaming #nintendoDS

  Finding one bad game I had to review back in the day led me to more. Many, many more. That got me thinking, because presumably SOMEBODY ended up with them. Was it you? I’ve penned some quick thoughts, but I’d love to hear from anyone who got bad games bought for them at any time in their lives. #retrogaming #nintendo https://alexreviewstech.com/who-bought-the-bad-video-games/

  Still a contender for one of the most suss game names ever... and another example of a game that got handed to me as a freelancer because nobody else wanted to review it... #retrogaming #nintendo

  Here’s my Skullcandy Crusher 1080 Headphones review. Contains heavy bass… and some signs of me losing my mind with the habits of some Sydney train commuters. Don’t say you weren’t warned. #Headphones #Skullcandy https://alexreviewstech.com/skullcandy-crusher-1080-headphones-review-can-head-crushing-bass-be-a-good-thing/

  Fresh review time! I’m a big fan of folding phones, but Google’s Pixel 11 Pro Fold has left me with… some reservations.

  Well, damn. RIP Dolly. Often a figure of mockery but also a dammed fine musician and philanthropist too. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/aug/25/dolly-parton-country-singer-dead

  Dammit. RIP Tim Curry. The only actor that Miss Piggy ever cheated on Kermit with. That's a resume in itself, really. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-27/tim-curry-rocky-horror-it-dies-aged-80/107082902

  Ooh, I got a shiny thing delivered. Children, gather round. This is called a "CD", and it's one I've been waiting on for some time... presuming it's survived the courier journey, that is. Let's find out together! #Prince #Timeless #CD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9H1qLbKSrQ

  Friday night movie time. There could of course only be one choice of film to watch, rich with visually challenged fiends, cabin fever and, of course, professional pirates. Why, when I was just a lad, looking for my true vocation... #muppets #timcurry #visuallychallengedfiend

  So, Quake is 30 years old. To give that some perspective, that's the same age that Space Invaders was... in 2008. I'm starting to feel slightly old for some reason. #quake #retrogaming

  It's been 36 years, and it feels like we're never going to get fresh instructions from Madonna. When precisely can we stop Vogue-ing?

  Apple put the price up on the MacBook Neo at the end of June… so it’s no longer quite the budget bargain it was. But is it still worth buying?

  Huh. Came up on one phone as expected but also another review model with no SIM in it. And on that one it came up as a "Presidential alert". When did we elect a president and why did nobody tell me?

  Did I leave it too late to declare my candidacy as the new Victorian premier? Anyone know where the forms are stored?

  Your Prince album of the day is 2004's "The Chocolate Invasion". As always, what you do with this information is up to you. #Prince #AlbumOfTheDay

  Grateful to the school bus driver who allowed me to get on board as the scheduled commuter bus decided to run four minutes *early* (and so I missed it, 30 min gap between buses otherwise). Sure, it was full of noisy school kids, but in that moment it was a lifesaver.

  Your Prince Album of the day is 2010's 20Ten. Yes, it's the most Prince-spelled-album-name of all of Prince's albums. Well, until they unearth EyeWun2SeXXYu7Times: The Concept Album or something from the vault, anyway. As always, what you do with this information is up to you. #Prince #AlbumOfTheDay

  I get why reviewers are enjoying the Galaxy Z Fold8, because it’s the “new” size in Samsung’s foldable lineup. My heart still belongs to the Z Fold8 Ultra size, though.
