  Oh my gosh, Don’t get me started on Hughesnet. This company does provide a much needed service to people who live in rural areas but they do an awful job of it. If you work online, go to school online, run any type of website or youtube channel, then prepare for a long and tedious task. It takes Hughesnet a long time to do these tasks. Sometimes you may even have to restart the process multiple times.  To be just honest I do need to say again, they DO provide a needed service. They’re more of a last effort to get online sort of thing. I have looked and looked for a new provider. It is just simply not possible to get any other provider where I live. Hughesnet is my only choice at the moment. I have even tried to find a cell carrier that offers service where I live and found nothing that offers the strong enough service to upload videos or my podcast.  Ok so keep in mind that if you do have to sign up with Hughesnet then there are a few things to consider. The slow speeds and the high

  Oh boy, this is just what I have wanted to do in a long time. Yes I have a youtube channel and a blog, but I want to do something more. Starting a podcast is a fun little project. It’s almost like you are taking the time to run a radio station and broadcast just you. Doing this is a just another project of love and passion. By using the tech that I already have just like millions of other folks out there, I have created the official DnicholsonTV podcast called Tech and Stuff. Let me explain how.  By doing a few internet searches I found Podomatic in a review site about podcasting for free. I went and downloaded the app and visited the website. After a good look at the app and website I decided I would give it a try. Of course I was in no way a professional but I feel that my first show came out OK. I even mention in the show that I will get better with time. It’s just like any other task that a person takes on, no experience means a rough draft at first.  All in all I enjoyed creatin

  The Willful Smartwatch is the best Apple alternative that I have found. This watch may not have every feature that a Fitbit or Apple Watch has but what it does have it does well. I can check messages from social media, receive text messages, check my heart rate, monitor sleep patterns, play my Apple Music, skip songs, and of course check the time. So I feel that what this watch does do is enough for my needs. There is NO App Store to download any new features but it does work with both iOS and Android. Check out the video for more.  Also Willful has an amazing set of earbuds that you should definitely check out. I’ve been using Willful products for just a few weeks and have found them to be excellent quality as well as long lasting batteries. Willful prices can not be beat and they are listed as Prime Eligible on Amazon. Check these  products out today. Here is a link to the Amazon page that features the watch in the above video.  https://www.amazon.com/Willful-Compatible-Swimming-Wa

The Tzumi LED Light Bar from Walmart can be the party favor you’ll buy this Halloween. The light bar runs on electricity and comes with a remote control to activate all the features the light bar can do. Each function makes the colors change in flashing mode, strobing mode, smooth mode, or steady mode. Not only would this light bar be an awesome party favor but you can use it year round to decorate your room, desk, or office. With a price tag of ten dollars I would recommend buying two as these are not that big. Large surprises do come in small packages with this light though since it is quite bright and really just a ton of fun. Head out to your local Walmart or buy it at Walmart.com  Sometimes when ever I find myself at Walmart or Target I tend to stray off into the electronics looking for a new gadget to review on my YouTube channel. The funny thing is that I never think to look in the box displays lined up the center of an isle. This is exactly where I found this light bar. The che

The Willful T3 Wireless Earbuds are truly a great product. I am in NO way affiliated with this company and I paid for this product just like you will if you purchase them. The sound quality is great and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Each earbud has a touch control on the side that lets you answer or reject incoming calls, play or pause a song, and skip forward or back a song. The earbuds claim to have a 5 hour listening time before needing a recharge and also claim the case allows up to 40 hours of charges before needing charged itself. If this is true these are impressive specs. Watch the video for the full review.  Have you ever walked around in a store and couldn’t make up your mind on what new gadget you want to purchase? I have for sure. I tend to pick things up in the stores and then put them back later. The longer I walk the more this cycle goes on. I have even looked at Amazon for items and just couldn’t make up my mind. It seems to be important for someone who does YouTube g

  In this video I will teach you the settings to have your camera set on for the best beginners photographs possible. You do not want to have your camera set on automatic and expect to learn how to use it. By using the menu settings and practicing, using your camera you will become more familiar and comfortable. I will have you taking the best images that will have your friends wanting to hire you for their weddings and parties. Watch the video, learn, and head outside to take some pics.  Photography is a way to make a statement. You can not just take a picture and say you're a photographer. Heck, I went to school for this kind of stuff and still don’t say I am a professional photographer. The way I capture a moment is to create a moment. You see its kind of like a cinematographer, they don’t actually film someone blowing up, getting married, having a baby, or any other type of life experience in a movie they create those events for your enjoyment. You never make a film you create

  What do all the pros use to make those great looking videos on YouTube? Maybe they have a $5000 camera, expensive editing software, tons of crew members, and all that. Well, probably so, but that doesn't mean that the newbie or little guy like us has to suffer. With the tools you already have you can create a fine looking product right there in your own house. Green screen (bed sheet or poster board) check, iPhone check, iMovie (free) check. Now lets get to filming. With sites like pexels.com and unsplash.com you can download free images and videos to make any production look top notch. iMovie allows you to use those images and videos for backgrounds by simply adding them to your timeline, then put your iPhone video on top, now in the top corner of the editing software you'll see two rectangles overlaying each other, click there and then click green/blue screen. Now each of those tools allows you to fine tune the background image. Play around with it and you will be a pro in
