Where tech gets a more inclusive edit. Basil here, a tech journalist of 15+ years. This is where I'm combining my experience in tech with my inclusive values and, hopefully, a lot of fun. That means tech reviews, camera comparisons, first looks and more, but expect a space where pride is celebrated, where conversations you may not expect to have on other tech channels are had, and where silly is encouraged. It's visibility, not rocket science, so I'll stop explaining, but if you want to start a conversation, whether you agree or don't, drop me a comment :)
