Tech Regular: The First Post

Welcome to TechRegular. I'm glad that you have found your way to this creation of mine.
I'll start out by explaining a bit about what my goal is with this outlet followed by a little bit of an explanation about myself.
Tech Regular is the culmination of my experiences with tech throughout my life as a consumer, enthusiast, and occasional technology expert. Over the past year and a half I have experimented with several mediums that would allow me to experience tech with a larger audience than my family and friends. I've experimented with streaming, which was a lot of fun, but absolutely exhausting. I've started drafts for a handful of blogs. I've even been a co-host on a podcast that focused on a particular Ubisoft title released last year. However, when it came to the amount of time that I am willing and able to dedicate to content production, none of my outlets worked in the least.
After several months away from the world of tech, I stepped back in by rebuilding my full ATX PC into a mATX case. During my research, I rediscovered my passion for technology through YouTube personalities like LinusTechTips, RandomFrankP, and many others. As I sat watching the tech-tubers I so greatly admired, it occurred to me that perhaps I could pull of something of similar topic and value. However, due to my limited income, I reluctantly admitted that I couldn't do exactly what everyone else was doing. I couldn't go out and buy the newest technology and computer hardware because my wallet--and significant other--wouldn't allow me.
After a month or two a thought occurred to me: "If I can't afford the new stuff, there must be some people who can't either!" And thus began the brainstorm that eventually became TechRegular.
Tech Regular is a YouTube channel dedicated to giving a fresh look at older products that allow you to make your hard-earned dollars last a little a bit longer. To start, I'm going to be taking a look at the technology I am currently investing in and using around the house and in my office. While many of these products may be a little older or a generation or so behind the current batch of products, I think the tech community needs a current opinion on what may have been reviewed by other tech-tubers several months or years ago.
As we continue on with this journey together, remember that this is not a sponsored channel nor does it have manufacturer supplied products (yet). All of the products I review will have been purchased by my. If a product sucks, trust that I will tell you. If a product is worth the price, I will recommend it with glowing reviews. My goal is to share information with you budget-minded individuals that will allow you to make the most of your money and your precious time.
If there is ever a review that you disagree with, do not hesitate to inform me of your experiences! I'm happy to share more user experiences with viewers that will bring them to the most informed decisions possible.
If you made it this far, I thank you! My ramblings didn't drive you off and I hope to see you back here again. Let me know what you think of the channel direction in the comments below. I love to communicate with the community and look forward to many spirited interactions in the coming months and years!
Much Love,
