2016 – A year in review at I want – I got

Published by

2016 *shakes fist*. What a strangely wonderful and horrible year. This year took several of my important cultural idols: Bowie, Prince, Phife Dawg. It hit hard and deep. On a personal level, I didn’t do much with this space here, my blog. I spent a lot of the year pretty miserable with my professional IT life. I lost interest in the celebrity/influencer obsessed version of fashion that was being put out there. I couldn’t take another thing about the spawn of billionaires and celebrities.

Every time I’m in Whistler, I wish I had one strapped to me. I’m not doing anything really worth watching again but I’d really love the chance to share my adventures from my perspective. This one is 4K capable and waterproof. Perfect for Whistler and Barbados. Motorola Moto 360 42mm Women’s Smartwatch with Heart Rate Monitor I love, love, love my Motorola 360. It looks like a regular watch but does all the cool shit you want from a wearable device! DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter Drone with Camera & Controller My obsession with drones outpaces GoPros. Again, I’m …
