  Cool Springs Park is a great place to get out and stretch those legs. Located East of Grafton WV just off of US RT 50 you will find this little park sitting at the bottom of a mountain. The park has a diner, gift shop, gas station, and a ton of old equipment and trains to look at. Although it may be run down it still holds on to its charm from those years gone by. It almost has a time machine feel as you walk through the grounds looking at old steam engines and the red caboose. The price is FREE and the memories are priceless.  

  A recent trip to Valley Falls in West Virginia. This park has a lot of history as well as nature trails, playgrounds, and a gift shop. It is located off 310 between Grafton and Fairmont in West Virginia. 

                                    Looking at the LumaFusion program we can see that it is very similar in looks to Final Cut Pro. Online most reviews call it a great editing program, and in fact it is. With this software you can edit together footage loaded on to your iPad and add titles, green screen effects, music, sound effects, transitions, work with the sound, and export in 4k. As a mobile video editor this beats out ALL others I have tried. iMovie what’s that? Most video editors love to use this software when they are traveling as a substitute for Final Cut. After all taking an iPad with you is a lot easier than taking a laptop.  With iPads touch screen capabilities using LumaFusion is a breeze since it is designed for touch interaction. Sliding clips into place and opening up new windows comes naturally if you are used to touch interface. The software is optimized for mobile allowing it run super fast and export 4K footage in record times. LumaFusion has some limited control o

Well it’s time to look at what (after 11 years) still has the computing world in an argument. Can iPad Pro replace your laptop or desktop. I for one have a personal choice as do so many others out there in the tech world.  For me I do use both devices. I have a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch 16 GBs RAM and i7 Processor with 500 GBs flash storage. I use a 1 TB SeaGate HDD that I store all of my YouTube and business videos on. I also have the 2020 11 inch iPad Pro base model with 6 GBs RAM and 128 GBs Flash storage. Each device is great for my use but I have had a tendency to grab my iPad for more everyday uses until recently. More on that in a bit. Let’s take a look at what most people actually do with a PC. Web browsing and social media take up most of my friends time. FaceBook and TikTok have become the go to sites for leisure and fun while others tend to try to do more creative tasks. I am one of those who tries to be creative. I tend to spend time filming videos, taking

Ok so here we are, week two of my little iPad Pro VS MacBook Pro for creatives test... Wow, last week was awful. I did everything I could think of to make last weeks video at least halfway decent but failed miserably. This week I have managed to pull off a miracle in the human technology world. I used an external microphone, an iPhone 11, and LumaFusion editing software and managed to make a watchable review of the ONN Wireless Earbuds. These earbuds come from Wal-Mart and last time I checked they sold for $19. These earbuds are honestly not that bad for the price. Of course I wouldn’t recommend them over Apple AirPods but then again they cost around $110 less. These particular earbuds have a good sound quality, pair with your phone easily, and pair to each other automatically. They take all the guess work out of set up. As mentioned in the video, the left bud tends to lose signal occasionally but for the price, who cares. Although I didn’t mention it in the video I can listen fo

There is NO time like NOW to begin looking around the stores for school supplies. New clothes and shoes, maybe some paper and pens, and of course some technology. But wait.... as you look over the giant sea of tablets and laptops you may become overwhelmed by the huge selection. No problem. Just head over to the local apple store and pick up an iPad or MacBook. In this video I compare the two devices to help you decide if one triumphs over the other for your needs this fall. Both are excellent choices of course but the iPad can be a scanner, camera, note taker, web browser, notebook, art canvas, instrument, studio, and more. The MacBook is a powerhouse for pro level photo editing, video editing, and other desktop exclusive software. The MacBook is also a great machine for typing up documents or papers and conducting research for those papers just like the iPad. Hopefully this look into daily use of each device helps you sort out those confused feelings about what may be in your b
