Zach Laidlaw Reloaded is back and bigger than ever!
It’s no secret that Zach Laidlaw Reloaded has been quiet recently. In fact, nothing new’s been published in an entire year, but that’s all about to change! Today marks the relaunch of ZLR, and there’s a lot of content coming down the pike.
Welcome to the new and improved ZLR
In the past, I’ve treated Zach Laidlaw Reloaded as a repository for topics and ideas that didn’t always fit into my work at How-To Geek and Android Police. However, having closed those chapters of my career, I’ve missed having a space to talk tech, games, and other nerdy trends. Thus, I’ve decided to brush the dust away from my beloved blog and double down on the types of content that I love most.
This relaunch is as much for me as it is for you. It’s a place to write freely without oversight, editing, or input from outside sources. It’s a way to share my personal thoughts and ideas straight from my head, to my keyboard, to the internet.
Let the daily content cometh
As part of this relaunch, ZLR will follow a weekly format with new content dropping every day, Monday through Friday. Here’s what to expect:
On-My-Mind Monday (OM3) — Every week kicks off with a think piece on any current event or idea in the tech or gaming space that’s knocking at the neurons in my head.
Rotation Tuesday (RT) — Any number of topics will drop on Tuesdays, from top news story commentary, to opinions and impressions of new devices or operating system updates, to first-hand looks at products, and maybe even an occasional review. The sky’s the limit, and anything can show up in the rotation.
Weekly Deal Wednesday (WDW) — New gadgets are fun, but they’re even better when you can get them for a great discount. Wednesdays are where you’ll find my favorite deals of the week.
Thursday App Spotlight (TAS) — There are tons of great mobile apps and games in the Apple App Store and on Google Play, with many more dropping every week. On Thursdays, we’ll look at the coolest, best, or most unique apps on the net.
Friday News Roundup (FNR) — So much happens in a week that it’s easy to miss it. On Fridays, we’ll round up the top headlines of the last seven days, plus my take on each topic.
Super Saturday (SS) —TBA (subscriber-exclusive content)
How to participate
Alright, so you got the format down. Now you want to know how you can catch every piece of content, the moment it goes live.
First things first, this website was built using Substack, so you can subscribe FOR FREE to have all weekly content sent directly to your inbox, no holds barred. You’ll simply get a neat little message just seconds after something hits the site. It’s that easy.
Second, feel free to check out the homepage whenever you like, 24/7, day or night. Not only will new articles be at the top, but you can also find a complete archive of all published articles dating back to the start of Zach Laidlaw Reloaded in 2021.
Third, I’ll be sharing my daily posts on social media. Follow me at any of the accounts below for updates and additional commentary you won’t find anywhere else:

What’s next?
If you want to support me and the creation of the content on this site, I graciously welcome paid memberships and donations. None of the articles on ZLR are paywalled, but I plan to add subscriber-exclusive content in the future, in addition to the free stuff found on the homepage.
This site is a 100% independent project. There are no ads or sponsorships (at least not yet). I may earn a small commission on some products mentioned on the site, but that’ll be pennies at best. Subscribers and donations are the primary way to help me earn a living while creating content that I (and hopefully you) love.
If you’re still reading this, thank you for sticking around. I hope you’ll join me as I kick off the ZLR relaunch with new content starting on Monday. Don’t forget to subscribe – even as a free member – to get the latest articles sent directly to your inbox.
See you in the next one!
