Beats Solo Buds Review

-
 So I recently went to my local Walmart and made a purchase. I purchased the Beats Solo Buds. I am not disappointed with my purchase.  For starters people are suggesting on reviews that there isn’t enough volume on the buds. This is simply not true at all. What people don’t realize is that these are set at approximately 50% volume when you purchase them. What you need to do is go into the Beats App on Android and into settings on the iPhone and set up your button controls. I have it set up for long presses on either side of the buds for volume up and down. Once I got this feature set up I turned my Beats Solo Buds up to 100% and they are plenty loud enough. There is no battery in the case. If you want earbuds that charge when you put them back in the case then look elsewhere. What you do get out of these is 18 hours of listening time at 50% volume. Me on the other hand got around 12 hours at full volume. With longevity like this you really don’t need to have a charging case. If you do

Can an iPad Replace a Laptop

-
  So I have the original M1 iPad Pro. It’s a 12.9 inch. I’ve been using it to surf the web, watch videos, write in my journal, check email, and now go to school. It’s been very good at doing all of these things. Of course my M1 iPad Pro isn’t a MacBook. It’s more of a tablet than a laptop. It is considered Apple’s convertible device. It can be used as both a tablet and then add a keyboard and trackpad and you have a laptop-like device.   Some people don’t think that the iPad can actually do what a laptop can. Maybe there’s a few things that the iPad can’t do but it can do most everything. I’ve been using my iPad as my main device for years now. There was only one time that I absolutely had to use my MacBook and that was for a textbook for school. It was only available on “Bookshelf” for a real full fledged operating system. The iPad unfortunately runs on iPadOS which is a spinoff from iOS used on the iPhone. These are both mobile operating systems.  I’ve been reading that you can now

Blogging

 Is blogging dead? Is there a future in blogging? I don’t have the answers to these questions. I don’t even know what blogging platform is the best to use. I write on blogger. It isn’t the fanciest website but it works for me. I get a free site, unlimited storage, I can upload my YouTube videos directly onto the blog page, and it just works. I don’t know what else to say about it.  There is one question that I found interesting about blogging. People are asking if you can blog from an iPad? I do. I may not be the best writer or the biggest blogger out there. I may not have the best website and the most views but I do write and upload to a website. Things that I like about blogging from an iPad are ease of use, and built in camera. I don’t use the blogger app, I just go to the website. I’ve never downloaded the Wordpress apps either. All I do is go to the blogger site and write.  I’m not a fancy kind of guy but I do love Apple Products very much. My idea of a great time is visiting the

I’m Attending Southern New Hampshire University Online

 Hello friends. I’ve been doing some thinking lately. Although I do have a job it’s just a part time job and that leaves me with some free time. The job that I have isn’t the job that I’d like to retire from for sure. I just haven’t been happy with where my life has taken me. I felt it was time to make a few changes. Well I got online and looked for the best online colleges that I could find. I found a few and even tried one that didn’t work out.  Southern New Hampshire University seemed to be a good fit. The cost was dramatically less than other online schools. It does have a brick and mortar school that can be attended. And the reviews for the school aren’t all horrible. In other words it isn’t a diploma mill.  I’m only in my first class so far and it is a class about cultural diversity. I guess that’s a pretty good class for someone majoring in psychology. I’ve learned all about communicating with someone from a different culture than me. Culture could mean anything from race, sexua

Dollar Shave Club Six Blade Razor

-
 So I used to use Harrys razors. I used Harrys for quite a few years. Then something changed about the blades. They started cutting me and at times cutting me pretty bad. The moisturizing strip also started falling off all of the time. This was happening during the first shave of the blade too. I was having to change brand new blades all of the time. It got ridiculous. I decided I had enough of the Harrys razors and made the switch to Dollar Shave Club.  Now I am not going to say that everything I write or say about Dollar Shave Club will be the same experience you’ll get but maybe it will help you make a decision to try them out for yourselves. Now I read a ton of reviews about Dollar Shave Club six blade razor. Most of the reviews are negative unless you find the ones that are promotional reviews. I think that these negative reviews are from long time users of the club and are angry that they switched blades and handles. The old six blade razor was called the executive and the club d

Can My 12.9 inch M1 iPad Pro Replace my MacBook

-

 I am writing this article on my 12.9 inch M1 iPad Pro. I’ve been using this iPad for a few months now and have to say that it is the best iPad I have ever owned. It’s been my go to device for all sorts of things. I’d have to say that I love owning this iPad.  Can this iPad replace a laptop? Let’s look into that a little. For starters I am a true fan of Apple products. I am the proud owner of this 12.9 inch M1 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard case, a 2018 15 inch Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro, an iPhone 11 (I know I need to upgrade), and an Apple HomePod. As you can see I try to be completely Apple.  The things I do on my iPad Pro are pretty simple for the most part. I write in my Zenn Journal, create thumbnails for my YouTube Videos, write for this website, work on my book, read books, do some light video editing in LumaFusion, surf the web, and edit my photos (can be seen in the photography page) in PixelMator Photo. My iPad can handle all of these tasks without breaking a sweat. The iPa

Mental Health Help

I talked to my therapist yesterday and this is what we talked about. Good advice for those who suffer from depression and bipolar disorder. What he said really made me think about the way I have trained my brain to think. It could take a lot of work to retrain my brain but I am going to give it a try. What the video talks about is all about what a person should think and what words we shouldn't be using as people who suffer from mental health disorders.
