Review: QCY QY11 Wireless Earphones- It's all that I asked for in the QY8s

Image
The QY11s are an attempt to upgrade the QY8s that I bought and reviewed last year. When I reviewed them, I noted that the QY8s needed to change for them to compete with the QY7s including more support to keep them from bouncing. Now, it’s 2016 and these are the QY11s. They have ear hooks – like the Apple’s Powerbeats headphones but with better sound quality and battery life.     The QY8s did not control the volume on your phone. So, if you turn up your volume on your headset… you’ll get very little response if your phone volume is low. On the other hand… if your volume is all the way up it would blow your ear drums out.  The QY11s are the same. Here’s a tip: If you want more bass, turn your cell phone volume all the way up.  Then turn the headphones down a little before playing. That’ll give you the best range. In many cases I like this option.     The QY8s have amazing bass. For some reason, I feel like it’s only gotten better over the past year of listening. The Qy11s have a much f…

Retro Review: Nikon N2020 "For the Professional Photographer, Timing is Everything"

Image
This is my first experience with and my first review of a Nikon Camera. I used to be, but I'm not longer the type of photographer that tries to argue about which brand is better(Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, ... etc.) I don't think this is like the Nintendo/Sega video game console wars of the 80s and 90s. If I had the money and time, there's no telling what brand of camera I'd own.
      There are a lot of factors for photographers - both professional and casual - to take into account. Style, ease of use, compatibility (with other lenses), low light performance, megapixels and recommendations from bloggers, friends and photographers that they admire. Your choice of camera is a very personal one.. and it is sometimes a permanent one.
      Often times a camera will even outlive it's owner. As you know from some of my previous posts, my dad's camera did outlive my father.. but only by a few years. But, I have been able to fix and use several other older cameras. T…

The Underground Railroad: Stories of Victory from Tragedy

Image
I've always been intrigued by the mystery of the Underground Railroad. Like the black inventors I featured earlier this week, these are stories of people who beat the odds stacked against them to reach a goal- their freedom. They all risked their lives for freedom, preferring almost certain death and a chance to be free over slavery. Some cases were more extreme than others.. traveling in shipping boxes to safe houses on the UGRR. 
      A lot of those travels were documented in the account of The Underground Railroad Records. These are not sad stories. They are testimonies of triumph written sometimes in their own word in letters to "The Father of the UGRR(Underground Railroad) William Still. 
     Still often used his Philadelphia home to help hundreds of slaves to escape. He kept detailed records and maintained stayed in contact with man of them.. becoming a contact between escaped slaves and those left behind.
     These people exhibited tremendous courage escaping a l…
