In this episode of Technically Working, Michael and Damashe catch up after what feels like forever—and dive right into Damashe’s chaotic travel story. From missing a train in New Orleans to unexpectedly booking a sleeper car, he shares how one late-night nap and a Pixel alarm mishap turned into an impromptu hotel stay and a free breakfast.



They recap recent tech conference experiences, including hands-on impressions of the Giga AI Glasses (spoiler: they’re still a little too chatty), vibration-based navigation shoes from Japan, and the impressive multi-line Dot Pad display with near-instant braille refresh.



Michael shares some behind-the-scenes tech wins from running hybrid ACB Convention events—including Gravity Forms automations, Lisi scripting magic, and a FedEx shipping lesson that cost him $81. They also nerd out over gear like the Zoom H5 Studio, run through Damashe’s audio setup powered by a Pixel 9 Pro hotspot, and trade thoughts on why sliders beat knobs on audio mixers.
