Don't Panic - It's most likely spam mail
A new tactic in trying to separate you from your money, or just another iteration of the same old scam. Somehow people really want to take your money online by hacking you, or pretending you hack you. This morning I got a call from an old client who was worried his e-mail had been hacked. Your…

I think I'm hitting Social Media Burnout.
Social media is becoming too much for me these days. I think I'm going to simplify and stick to this podcast and my YouTube Channel. Speaking of YouTube, here's the link I promised in the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cvJiA4oUqU&t=62s

Is the RV Living Video Market Oversaturated? It might be.
A new episode. Hooray. Excuses aside, it's been a very busy week since the last podcast. When things slow down I think the updates will come more often. Today we talk about the RV Living video market space. Specifically we'll be talking about the group "Epic Nomad TV" that created a video...

Sometime RV Resort WiFi .......... You fill in the blank!
We've talked about it before, and here we are again. Mobile internet connectivity. Currently I'm in Casa Grande Arizona. I'm staying at one of the parks I'll be working with this week. I decided to sign up for a week with Airbeam for WiFi in the park. Unfortunately, the service doesn't work well…

Video games on the road? Yes indeed!
Technology has changed so much over the past few decades. Where I used to spend my childhood evenings on the lake with family and friends playing board games and card games, today we find folks in front of portable computing devices "gaming." Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'll leave that…

The sound of color
Visual media is everywhere. The web is full of still photos, portfolios, YouTube Videos, movies, and more. Have you ever wondered if you're seeing this media the way the creators intended it to be seen? There are many video and color settings out there depending on monitors, screens, TVs, etc.…

The Abandoned Airstream
Okay, the Airstream isn't abandoned, but I have been feeling some guilt over moving out of it. It's been my home for over a decade. All week long I've come up with excuse after excuse to go and pay it a visit. I'll adjust, I'm sure. And there will be Airstream trips in 2019. So, looks like I've…

Can I make money with Drone Job Websites
There are many drone job websites out there for Part 107 Drone Pilots. The big question is pretty simple. Can you make money with these websites, or are the client requests undervaluing your work? The answer? It depends on where you're located I believe. It also depends on whether or not the jobs...

Tech Companies and Customer Care...or lack of care
These days it seems like many tech companies are "getting to big for their britches." Do people still say that? Well, today I have a positive experience to share about the tech company Anker. Great customer support, and confirmation that I will continue being a happy customer. Sadly, other...

Every time I hear "AI" I fear Skynet
Seriously......Skynet. It's only a matter of time, the machines will take over. Fortunately, if you look at the Artificial Intelligence software today you'll feel secure in the knowledge it's not any time soon. Companies touting "AI" features aren't really delivering on actual artificial...

Making a small business website is easy, right?
Here we are back to the regular schedule for the podcast! And we're recording from the new studio room. So, last week I had a conversation with one of my Udemy students about web building.

Is Apple Doomed To Fail - Probably not!
Apple's latest announcements have scared investors and tech pundits alike. But let's think for a moment. Apple isn't losing money, they're just not pulling in as much as they thought they would. They're still profitable. So, what's with the big concern? Courses from AZ Drone •3D Drone Modeling…

Starting out 2019 right! I won a half million dollars according to my email!
Ah 2019, I'm loving you so much already. Apparently according to an email address I don't know, I've been selected to receive $500,000.00! What a way to start the New Year off.

The schedule is changing for the Holiday Season!
Over the next week or two this podcast will be a little inconsistent. It's time to kick back, relax, and enjoy our time with friends and family. This doesn't mean no podcasts will occur, but they will be less frequent through New Years. We've also got some major things going on for the New Year...

Handholding in the creative process - Are Presets the death of creativity
I've been learning a lot from the feedback of several of my online courses. Some students really want you to walk them through the exact process of website layout. Others want to get information about how to build their websites, and then branch off relying on their own creativity. What type of...

Everything old is new again! New life for an old Macbook Pro
It's amazing how some things last and last. In technology that's not usually a thing. But when it comes to older Apple products you can really find long lived systems out there. I can't say the same for recent Apple products unfortunately. Last week it was pretty clear to me that my 2013 Macbook...

Tech Talk Friday - Honest online reviews
Yes, I missed yesterday's podcast. But that's okay, today's makes up for it I promise. Today's episode is also number 99! One away from one hundred! This morning I watched another overview of Luminar with Libraries from a favorite photographer. And I thought the overview was a little…

Web Design, Graphic Design, Social Media, & SEO are not all the same thing!
Before getting into today's show notes I want to share an anniversary with you. 45 years ago on December 7th, 1973 my mom underwent the start of her bone marrow transplant. She would have died without it. So on the anniversary of her transplant I wanted to take a moment to remember her and to be...

Tech Talk Thursday - Solar Power for your new RV
Today's episode was inspired by visiting many RVs yesterday while waiting on my Airstream repair. So many new RVs include solar pre-wire setups. But the question is, are these solar setups good enough to run all the amazing tech inside new RV's? The short answer from my time looking in so many…

Tech Talk Tuesday - Wordpress 5.0 is coming!
Big software updates always make me a little nervous. Back in 2016 a major update to a software package I use for web development broke every website I tried it on. Turned out the developer didn't fully beta test the update, and it cost me weeks of my time. The folks who make Wordpress, a…

Black Friday & Cyber Monday - So many reasons to un-sub from email lists
My inbox has been over flowing with special deals. "Only 5 hours left....only 4 hours and 45 minutes left......" You get the idea. I'm thinking that we're going over the top with these emails, and they're actually turning me off to companies that I like! Have Black Friday and Cyber Monday turned...

How much does it cost to develop an App?
That's the question I was asked yesterday. I always enjoy open ended questions like this. Well, not really. Questions always come to mind. "What does the app do? Do you want it on iOS and Android? Is it an interactive app? Is it a location based app......?" I think you get the idea. But often…

E-Learning from Anywhere! Learn new skills from your RV, Home, Apartment and more!

Blowing up Granite and Bending iPads....Fun times, fun times.
A late episode, but an episode all the same. And the news in today's podcast was very interesting to me. First, the Daily Courier (local newspaper) had a story about widening Route 89 through the Granite Dells. Not long ago I posted a video on YouTube about the increase in traffic from north of...
