I’m losing my dang mind. I need it. I need it. I need it. I need it.
One thing to point out, the first part of the lens contraption you see is an adapter, then the lens itself. You can swap out other Leica lenses onto this thing. Some are smaller, and some are bigger.
FREAKING INSANE.

I'm hearing a lot of frustration about Google's "two-phase embargo" for the Google Pixel, especially after this great video here:
The skepticism makes sense because brands have definitely abused this greatly, but I think Google is different.
First, yes, I'm part of #teampixel, but no, I'm not sucking up, being paid to say this, or am I a shill. Let's leave the dumb comments out.
Okay, here's the issue that Google has and it's a rough spot to be in.
1. Google is actually trying to make reviews more equitable.
They want to give phones to influencers in #teampixel but it is a huge risk and liability to do this BEFORE the announcement. The number of people breaking embargo or doing more than what they're supposed to just today should show you how risky it would be to give it out early
Wait, Apple is charging $4.99 just to talk to Siri to listen to Apple Music???
New HomePod Mini colors. While not “anything new” they look great! Glad there are options for people that like the HomePod Mini. As an audio engineer, not my preference. #AppleEvent
New AirPods. Great if you don’t like having earbuds that go into your ear canal. You lose out on passive noise cancellation and bass, comparatively, but it’s good that there’s an option! #AppleEvent
Here are the corroborated #Pixel6 and #Pixel6Pro prices in the Target inventory system in the US.
Pixel 6: $599
Pixel 6 Pro: $898
Google has to be subsidizing this phone like crazy. This is insanity. #teampixel
Normally, every year I tell people to NOT buy the Google Pixel right away because they often put it on sale in late November.
This year, I’M NOT suggesting that.
You have a combination of these insane prices plus the chip shortage. It’s going to be hard to buy these.
If google wanted to get their headline of “Google Pixel 6 Sells out,” pricing it at this level will finally get them that headline along with that chip shortage.
Google is subsidizing this phone like crazy, and I'm legitimately shocked. Honestly, no other company could do this other than Google or Apple because of their SaaS component.
All that to say, the second price seems wrong. $898 doesn't make sense both from a typical pricing point and it's not even listed in the image. I'd be skeptical about that one.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you for an incredible 2018! I'm so grateful for all of you and the insane opportunities and experiences that I've had!
I had a goal of 25,000 subscribers for the end of this year and ended it with 36,300+ subscribers with December being the biggest one yet!
At the beginning of August, I hit 1 million views & this year I end with 3 MILLION views.
I recorded a super candid & vulnerable thank you for everyone who got me there at the end of this video. I was so grateful & humbled back then & I'm even more now.
2018 was the year that I found community. I discovered an amazing community of people who watched me, which blows my mind. I still underestimate all of you every time ❤️🙏
