$45 Emtec X200 256GB External Solid State Drive

-

 


Oh My!! This little SSD might be tiny and lightweight but don’t let that fool you, it packs one heck of a punch!!! I purchased the Emtec X200 256GB version of this device at Walmart thinking it would come in handy since I currently use a 1TB Seagate External Hard Drive and a few thumb drives of various sizes. With the fact that my 1TB Seagate could fail me at anytime since it has moving parts and thumb drives are pilling up around the house I wanted to try out my first external SSD. These little beauties are notoriously expensive for even the smallest GB size and up until yesterday I couldn’t bring myself to drop a pile of money since my other storage practices had been working. When I saw the $45 price tag on this device I had to purchase it and try it out. 

First off the brand is something I have never heard of. Honestly, who’s heard of Emtec before? I mean seriously tell me in the comments if you have. SanDisk, Seagate, WD and maybe a couple more that I can’t think of rule the nest with all of peoples external storage needs. Emtec is the new kid on the block I think. Anyway, I plugged it in and it immediately showed on my desktop. Unusable at first I went to Disc Utility, selected the drive, hit erase, renamed it, and now it works great. The video above was of course saved to the Emetec drive after completion. Very nice drive, highly recommended, and See you all next week.

ONN 7 inch Tablet Review

-

The Surf Onn Gen 2 7 inch tablet from Walmart is exactly what you'd expect from a Walmart tablet. The screen is decent but not great and the apps tend to crash from time to time. I bought the base model for $49 and got 2gb of RAM and 16gb of internal storage that was actually 11 from the pre installed apps.  As for usage the tablet performed well enough to be considered a nice entry level tablet and I feel the kids could use this as a cheap dedicated YouTube machine. Although folks who already have a taste for the big boy toys like the iPad or Samsung tablets may find this to be a toy.  Would I recommend this for anyone? Yes, surprisingly I would. This is a perfect entry level tablet for those who have a tight budget and need a machine to get online with for school, entertainment, kids enjoyment, or to simply apply to jobs, email, and other personal needs. This tablet will get the job done as long as its light work.

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

Overcoming Depression

This week I decided to continue a series on depression. There are ways to help relieve some of the symptoms of depression. Finding a hobby or simply petting an animal can help overcome severe depression. In this video I discuss ways to overcome depression and help relieve some of the symptoms. I am no doctor nor am I a therapist but I live with chronic depression and bipolar disorder. I've lived with this since I was fourteen and I am now forty three. I know what depression is and I know what helps me. Sometimes depression wins while other times I can manage to force myself into doing something. I feel better after I use the tips from the video. Please watch and don't forget to subscribe.
