Frank Introduction A few weeks back, Praesidus reached out to me on Instagram @frendymgee (I am sorry but the req. to be on The Matick Team is to shamelessly plug at every opportunity, just give KC & JonJon a listen) and asked if I would be interested in reviewing the A-11. Along with their message […]
Frank Hello all and future me. I am writing possibly an open letter to my future self or the general public. A version of me that is now poor, but owns a number of fantastical keyboards. I recently have started down the path of becoming one of the emphatic followers of the great and powerful […]
Frank (@frendymgee) Introduction The latest iteration of the Zelos Hammerhead, the Hammerhead V3 Teal Fume, from the microbrand out of Singapore landed on my doorstep for a field review earlier this year.

KC Prologue In the watch enthusiast universe, the watch enthusiasts are represented by two separate, yet equally unimportant human beings: KC, who likes titanium, and Marshall, who doesn’t. This is a watch review. Lame podcast jokes aside, titanium is often a surprisingly divisive material in the weird world of watch enthusiasts. Some enjoy the lightness […]
[Year 2077, 2133HRS, Ampang City 1:- Ampang, Malaysia] “Sirens can be heard from a few blocks away, along with gunshots. Chaotic was an understatement. Civilians could be seen fleeing from the scene, and cyber troopers and cyber terrorists were engaged in a firefight amidst the chaos. [Come in Hotel-6, we are en route to the […]
