What's up with Jim and Chris - the Geeks
|
August was a vacation month The photo above shows us in our camper van at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. When you put your camper on a ferry, you have a houseboat! We love ferries. We took 3 of them on our way up the east coast to New Jersey. Then we left the camper with a friend and flew to England
to visit friends and celebrate a 60th birthday. We partied hearty, then we played tourist for a few days in Southampton, Stonehenge, and Isle of Wight. Now we're back to our camper in New Jersey and will head south via the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are loving life! We wish all our US friends a fun and happy Labor Day holiday. Classes Just because we're on vacation, it doesn't mean we don't give some classes! As long as we have good internet, we can deliver them from anywhere, even from our camper van in a national park! We gave 2 such classes in August. You can see all classes from past months on our Classes page. We call it a "Class" when we deliver a 1-2 hour seminar to a group on a desired topic such as Using Google Photos, Editing Photos with Snapseed, and Map-making with Google My Maps. The web page for each class includes a slide show, several videos and sometimes a written handout. If the class was delivered over Zoom, we may
also have the recording of the whole class. These classes are for our premium members, although we leave them open to the public for the first couple of weeks. We also did 3 of our Sunday YouTube shows:In this newsletter: As usual, we have an eclectic mix of smartphone and technology tips for you. - Google Photos Tip: How to capture a still shot from a video
- Technology for Travelers - when it works
- Jim is done with drones
- Chris thinks Bitcoin is fascinating, what do you think?

He got his first drone in 2014, and he crashed his last drone just this year while we were in Italy. He's decided he's too old for the stress of flying drones. "I think I’ll stick to flight simulators in virtual reality. When
you crash them, no one’s heart or wallet gets hurt!" Read the article to see why he thinks this way and be sure to click the link to his playlist of drone videos he's done over the years. From a hot-air baloon
festival, to an RV park in Malibu, to a dive boat in the Indian ocean, there's some pretty cool videos here.
