RVlife is Right Around The Corner

Image
 Living in West Virginia doesn’t give a person a lot to do. I decided to remedy this by doing what a lot of people have inspired me to do, hit the road and live the vanlife. That’s right, this year we are taking our show on the road. I will work on my website, youtube channel, podcast, and more form the road. We purchased a pop up camper and cleaned it out, decorated it, and now all we have to do is wait on the weather to say, go.  The camper is a 1996 Coleman by Fleetwood Santa Fe. It needed some serious cleaning when we purchased it as shown in the video but either way at the end of the video you can see it look real nice. We plan on hitting some serious places with it this spring and summer. Stay tuned and click the drop down box at the top of the page to support us on Patreon if you can.  Here’s the video of the beginning of our exciting journey by cleaning the camper and taking you on a tour.  RVLife Full Time  Hope you all enjoy our adventure as much as we will. We will keep you

Apple Store Visit Skit and Big Channel Update

Image
  So I've been thinking a lot about this little video. I downloaded the images from a free image sharing sight called Unsplash.com and came up with an idea of visiting an Apple Store to actually buy a product. This isn't how it would be in real life but I feel that it would be similar.  As for the big news, my wife and I bought a pop up camper and are looking to travel during our off days from work. We have the luxury to actually have four to five days off and two to three days on each week. So any given week week we are off for four days minimum. I thought man, we could hit the road every week and have mini vacation in our camper for basically free. Then I got to thinking we could have a small travel series called van life or camper life on YouTube. What a great idea!!! Stay tuned for next week because next week will be the start to all of this.   Please check our podcast on the podcast page or where ever you listen to your podcast.

Love of Technology

  I was around the age of fourteen and the time was Christmas. The year was 1993 and I was super excited to receive the gift of all gifts. I knew that those large box’s under the Christmas tree had to be the one item I was longing for, the item I dreamed of owning, a real life computer. I dreamed of owning my very own computer since watching Doogie Howser write about his adventures in the medical field on his beautiful machine. Maybe I’m a nerd, then again maybe I’m not, but a new computer was surely in the works for me. Found On Unsplash.Com Of course opening this treat was one of the biggest thrills of my lifetime. I remember setting it up for the first time. All the hookups had been carefully attached and my new Tandy came with a set of discs with a series of programs on them. My brother tried to tell me that I had to enter the discs into the machine by numerical order but I knew he was wrong. Even my mom tried to agree with him. Mom I argued, “each disc is labeled with different pr

Can an iPad Replace My Computer

Image
 What a question and also hard to believe its still a question. The latest iPads and accessories are built to be an alternative to the tradition computer or clamshell laptop. These devices are fast, powerful, and efficient machines with real work capabilities.  So why all the fuss? Those who don't believe are those who are tied to a specific type of software that can't be used on iPad. But don't worry, the software we are speaking of is for creative professionals and coding. For the majority of us this doesn't come into play at all and shouldn't be a factor in our decision. iPads can be a true traditional laptop or computer replacement for 99% of the population today.  These machine can be used for all types of office work, most types of creative work, and any type of leisure activity thrown at them. The iPad is just as capable as any Chromebook or budget laptop, as well as most middle tier laptops on the market today, possibly beating out some top tier laptops alon

 Wow, what can I say about Harry's. How this little company has grown to become a real contender in the mens grooming and bathing world. With awesome smelling products from body wash, to after shave lotions and balms this company deserves their spot in the bathrooms of every man in the world. Can they beat out other top brands? Maybe not quit yet but they are on the move and I mean move up.  I have been a loyal Harry's fan for almost ten years and not once have I strayed from this company. I have been using solely Harry's since my first experience. The products are cheaper and work perfectly. The body washes and bar soaps smell amazing, the shave lotions and gels are wonderful, and the after shave balms and mists leave you feeling cool and smelling great.  So if you've been looking for a new razor to try I would highly recommended Harry's. This company will not let you down in either the pre shaving or post shaving experience. Harry's has proven over and over th

ZINGYOU BM-800 Condenser Microphone Review and Setup

 Whats up readers? Its your boy David here again looking to entertain and educate you in all matters tech. This week we are looking into the ZINGYOU BM-800 condenser mic. Now I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel DnicholsonTV, but of course as usual I am bringing that video right here to the website for those who like to read articles as well as watch videos.  ZINGYOU BM-800 Condenser Microphone This is an awesome mic, no questions asked. The mic works like it is supposed to and does well for my podcast. The only thing that kinda made me question the quality was when I first purchased this mic it didn't work straight out of the box. I tried hooking this up to my MacBook and got no sound. It wasn't until after some research on my own part that I realized I needed to make another purchase to get the mic to power on and pick up sound.  Well that purchase was a 48V phantom power supply. This supply box costs around $20 and looks similar to an amp from a car stereo. You will also
