First Look (literally): Lucyd Lyte Audio Sunglasses

What a world we live in. I’m just taking a first “look” (ahem) at my new Earthbound prescription sunglasses with audio and bluetooth. With these Lucyd Audio Sunglasses I can speak to ChatGPT and ChatGPT will respond back to me in my ears. I could have used this amazing breakthrough technology back in college! I can listen to music, or podcasts or whatever directly from the glasses as well.

Overview

The Lucyd Lyte Earthbound sunglasses are a game-changer in the world of wearable technology, blending the classic aesthetics of optical eyewear with cutting-edge Bluetooth audio capabilities. They embody a fusion of style and functionality, adhering strictly to the design principles of traditional eyewear while seamlessly incorporating advanced features. What sets Earthbound apart is its commitment to maintaining the elegance of classic sunglasses, enhanced with the best-in-class touch controls, microphones, lenses, and battery life. It’s a perfect example of technology and design walking hand in hand, offering a stylish accessory that doubles as a high-tech gadget.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the Earthbound is its ability to make ChatGPT handsfree and voice-accessible, a boon for those who prefer voice commands over typing. Users simply need to download the Lucyd app on their iOS or Android device, and they can start interacting with ChatGPT through Siri on their iPhone or iPad. This integration provides a seamless, convenient way to engage with ChatGPT, making it more accessible than ever. Additionally, with dual high-capacity lithium-ion batteries offering 12 hours of continuous music or talk time, the Earthbound sunglasses ensure that you stay connected and entertained throughout your day, whether it’s for work or leisure. With such longevity, users who listen to a few hours of music or podcasts daily would only need to charge their glasses 1-3x a week, adding to the convenience that these smart sunglasses bring to everyday life.

Stay Tuned (so to speak)

I’m just getting started with these. First time I’ve ever had to read a manual and watch tutorial videos to figure out how to use my sunglasses. Not sure but I wonder if you can make calls with them too. That would be a fantastic feature. EDIT: YOU CAN! I just made a call and had an entire conversation with audio to/from my sunglasses. Game changer.

I’ll post a full review in a few weeks after I’ve put them through the full review process on the golf course, the ski resort, and the mountain bike trail.

Old Trapper Old Fashioned Beef Jerkey

Thanks to Old Trapper for sending in some of their Old Fashioned beef jerky for review. I made great use of my bag of old fashioned in several environments: The golf course, mountain biking, skiing, and on a road trip. It saved me on that road trip. Long day of driving and needed some calories and protein!

Quality

Recently I picked up some jerky from Costco. Can’t remember the brand. It tasted fine but there was a super high amount of gristle. Not much more annoying and gross than chewing on un-chewable material, then having to find some way of politely discarding it.

I was very satisfied with the quality of the Old Fashioned, especially in terms of it NOT having gristle. I mean zero. Fantastic.

Taste

This jerky is very tasty, but not too salty. Many jerky brands seem to to overboard on the salt. I would like to try some of the other flavors, of which there are several. Hot and spicy would probably be the ticket.

Gift Idea

Christmas is almost here. Forget candy. Throw some Old Trapper in your loved one’s stockings!

Utah’s newest golf course is certainly one of its most interesting! I just checked out the 19 hole (yes, 19) Black Desert Golf Resort, designed by Tom Weiskopf. It’s a 9-iron away from Entrada at Snow Canyon, in Ivins, Utah. Ivins is a suburb of St. George, Utah. The “cool” holes at Entrada are the few holes that are in the lava, which covers quite a bit of the area. Well most if not all of the holes at Black Desert are cool then, since they all are in lava.

Stance Tab – The Ultimate Performance Socks

Every golfer, fitness enthusiast, or just a regular Joe who likes to keep active knows the importance of having the right gear. From the shoes we wear to the socks that cushion our feet, every detail matters. Today, I’m going to take a deep dive into a game-enhancing product from Stance: Performance Tabs.

These are not just any socks. They are designed for the long haul, boasting a host of features that set them apart from the competition. Let’s explore why these Performance Tabs are a must-have for on or off the golf course.

Designed for Durability and Comfort

The standout feature of the Performance Tabs is their robust construction. They come ready with an antimicrobial FreshTek™ moisture control system, meaning they can handle your intense rounds or workouts, and keep your feet feeling fresh and dry.

An amazing feature that makes these socks truly remarkable is their reinforced Infiknit™ construction. This is not your regular sock material. Known for its high tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance, Infiknit™ adds serious muscle to both the heel and toes, guaranteeing a longer, stronger lifespan than your typical sock’s construction.

Personalize Your Comfort

Available in multiple knit and cushioning options, these socks cater to your personal comfort preferences. Whether you prefer the ultra-light, no-cushion for a lightweight next-to-skin feeling, or the mid-level with ample soft Terry cushioning at the heel and footbed, your feet will love the custom feeling that these socks provide.

Performance-Enhancing Features

The Performance Tabs are not just about comfort and durability. They are designed to enhance your performance too. They boast a specialized left/right anatomical design (see photo above) to fight off strain and fatigue, and come with a performance arch support that your feet will appreciate during those long rounds.

These socks also feature a reflective logo hit at the heel for extra safety, ensuring you can run, jog, or walk at any time of the day with increased visibility.

Breathability and Odor Control

One of the most common complaints about regular socks is their lack of breathability and odor control. Performance Tabs have tackled this issue head-on with their FreshTek™ Moisture & Odor Control system. This feature incorporates an antimicrobial finish with moisture-wicking properties to eliminate odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet feeling fresh and dry.

The socks also incorporate Performance Mesh for optimized ventilation and breathability. This feature ensures that your feet stay cool during intense workouts, and reduces the risk of blisters and discomfort.

On the Course, the Mountain, or at the Office

I wear my Tab’s every day whether I’m on the golf course, mountain biking, hiking, or writing amazing blog posts in the office. I love the comfort and performance, and especially the support the socks provide. I can tell they’re helping keep my feet from fatiguing. I also dig all the colors. My favorite is the gray, but black is always a go-to as well.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Performance Tabs are more than just socks. They are a symbol of innovative design, high-quality construction, and unparalleled comfort and performance. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned athlete, trust in the Tab to have you looking good and feeling great as you better your best in style.

Great Gift

Christmas (and the holiday season for you PC folks) is coming up soon. Stance Performance socks would make a fantastic, unique, and extremely beneficial gift!

I did a first look post recently which featured Stance Performance socks. I’ve been testing them out and will post a full review soon. A week or two after the socks arrived, a pair of Stance Boxer Brief underwear arrived. So I’m doing a quick post to introduce these while I finish up testing out the socks.
