I only use WhatsApp because everyone else does, but I’m pleading with everyone to make the switch to Signal. Take some time and read their Privacy Policy, it’s a bit disconcerting. Privacy Policy – Feb 2021 (whatsapp.com)

Saramonic Shotgun Microphone

Charles.D. | November 5, 2020

This has improved the quality of my recordings dramatically. If you record on a DSLR, especially an older one like I have, do yourself a favor and upgrade your sound. No external power is required. Plug-in via a mini-jack, and you’re all set. It’s a shotgun microphone with a shock […]

Should you use Craigslist

Charles.D. | November 5, 2020

This site is becoming a mess. Craigslist should not allow a poster to put up the same ad 32 times. What is the point? Having the same ad posted over and over only dilutes the variety of the content. This use to be my go-to for quick, easy buys, but […]

I have an iPhone – Part 1

Charles.D. | October 21, 2019

I’ve owned many phones over the years and for the past 6 or 7 years. I’ve owned nothing but Android-based phones. Android has suited my purpose very well. It’s flexible and very customizable (I desire features), and I have many options. Sadly, I’ve powered down my Pixel 3 (Hidden in […]
