Welcome to the Airstream Chronicles. This podcast will cover a variety of topics on mobile life, mobile tech, and things that catch my interest.

I think I'm hitting Social Media Burnout.

Social media is becoming too much for me these days.  I think I'm going to simplify and stick to this podcast and my YouTube Channel.  Speaking of YouTube, here's the link I promised in the show.

Sometime RV Resort WiFi .......... You fill in the blank!

We've talked about it before, and here we are again.  Mobile internet connectivity.  

Currently I'm in Casa Grande Arizona.  I'm staying at one of the parks I'll be working with this week.  I decided to sign up for a week with Airbeam for WiFi in the park.  Unfortunately, the service doesn't work well at all.  Actually, the word I'd use is "unusable."

Making a small business website is easy, right?

Making a small business website is easy, right?

Here we are back to the regular schedule for the podcast!  And we're recording from the new studio room.

So, last week I had a conversation with one of my Udemy students about web building.  She realized that my class (Wordpress & X Theme for Beginners) didn't cover big parts of web development.  In the class I teach people how to make a website with Wordpress and X Theme.  I don't teach creative writing, photography, graphic design, podcasting, video content creation, full Search Engine optimization, and more.  There's a lot that goes into building a professionally crafted website, which is why there are so many web developers out there.

It's a big job!  And most likely, if you're a small business owner, you've already got a job.  So while you can build and maintain your own website, you might just want a professional to help you out.  Honestly, I'm glad my student came away realizing she needed to hire a professional designer for her business.  It means the class demonstrated there's a lot more to this.

What a way to start the New Year off. I'm sure there will be some strings attached, but I've got to go for it, right?

If nothing else, we know at the start of 2019 the scammers are still out there!

Handholding in the creative process - Are Presets the death of creativity

Handholding in the creative process - Are Presets the death of creativity

I've been learning a lot from the feedback of several of my online courses. Some students really want you to walk them through the exact process of website layout. Others want to get information about how to build their websites, and then branch off relying on their own creativity.

What type of student are you?

Today I'd like to start a regular conversation about creativity, learning, and mirroring the works of others. Many photo editing programs out there now come with "Presets" for photo editing. Drop your photo in, use someone else's developing knowledge, and call your new image a masterpiece. For me, I like learning from others, but then experimenting with my own looks. Which process is right, which is wrong? Is there such a thing as a "correct" photo or painting or website layout? Are we killing creativity and inviting cookie cutter designs from all corners?

Let's have a conversation. You can get in touch with me via email to rich at

Everything old is new again!  New life for an old Macbook Pro

Everything old is new again! New life for an old Macbook Pro

It's amazing how some things last and last. In technology that's not usually a thing. But when it comes to older Apple products you can really find long lived systems out there. I can't say the same for recent Apple products unfortunately.

Last week it was pretty clear to me that my 2013 Macbook Pro was on its last legs. I couldn't even record an audio podcast to it without it saying my disk write speed couldn't keep up.....with audio. Wow! So I made a decision to take a risk and swap out the old hard drive with a new SSD drive.

Voila! The old Macbook is now running like a new one again. Just amazing! I wish Apple would do a little self examination, and realize that allowing customers to upgrade their own RAM, hard drive, etc, isn't such a bad thing. I buy Apple products for their OS, not the new slick hardware. But that's just me I suppose.

Tech Talk Friday - Honest online reviews

Tech Talk Friday - Honest online reviews

Yes, I missed yesterday's podcast. But that's okay, today's makes up for it I promise. Today's episode is also number 99! One away from one hundred!

This morning I watched another overview of Luminar with Libraries from a favorite photographer. And I thought the overview was a little disingenuous. At one point early in the video the photographer said, "Try not to think about the things that it's lacking....."

WHAT???

Online reviews and tutorials are great. But keep in mind many of them are sponsored videos. Paid advertisements and often people fail to mention that part during their review. Keep that in mind whenever you're looking for totally honest opinions.

Speaking of reviews and people selling things online....below you'll find links to my online classes, my YouTube Channel, and more.

Tech Talk Tuesday - Luminar 3 Photo Editor - An audio podcast for a visual program

Tech Talk Tuesday - Luminar 3 Photo Editor - An audio podcast for a visual program

Can you really do an audio review of a photo editing program? Sure you can.

I've been working with Luminar for quite some time now. And as an editor I really enjoy the software. The latest feature which will be available in a few short days is a new Library for Luminar. You can now save your images into Luminar itself, which is a great leap forward. For many people, the hope is that Luminar can become a replacement for Adobe's Lightroom.

Today it is not that replacement, but it may become a contender in the next 6 months. At present for my purposes, I'll continue using Lightroom as my photo management platform of choice. And I'll continue using Skylume's Aurora HDR and Luminar 3 as plugins to Lightroom.

Do I like Luminar? Yes. Do I think the new version with libraries will assist in my current photo editing workflow? No.

Web Design, Graphic Design, Social Media, & SEO are not all the same thing!

Web Design, Graphic Design, Social Media, & SEO are not all the same thing!

Before getting into today's show notes I want to share an anniversary with you. 45 years ago on December 7th, 1973 my mom underwent the start of her bone marrow transplant. She would have died without it. So on the anniversary of her transplant I wanted to take a moment to remember her and to be thankful that I had her in my life 25 years longer than I was supposed to.

For today's show we're talking work in the digital realm. I recently applied for a part time job with a company here in Arizona. They're looking for a Graphic Designer. I am not a graphic designer. So why would I apply for the job? Well, the job description includes website design, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media expertise, photographic expertise..... oh, and some graphic design. I'm not kidding you.

The job description encompasses 4 actual full time jobs easily. And they're looking for 1 person part time to do it all. Unrealistic? Yes. But also an opportunity for me to help educate them on what their priorities are, and see if my skill set could fit in with them. Am I hopeful about getting a call back? 50 / 50 really. I might be a little over qualified, and often I've found here in AZ that if you look over qualified you don't even get a phone call back. We'll have to wait and see.

Tech Talk Thursday - Solar Power for your new RV

Tech Talk Thursday - Solar Power for your new RV

Today's episode was inspired by visiting many RVs yesterday while waiting on my Airstream repair. So many new RVs include solar pre-wire setups. But the question is, are these solar setups good enough to run all the amazing tech inside new RV's? The short answer from my time looking in so many new models is no.

If you're shopping for a new RV and plan on camping off grid, get your questions ready for your RV dealership. Be sure to get educated responses to your solar questions. And if you don't get them, do some more up front research before making your purchase decision.

December of 2018 is already here. 2019 is just around the corner. Wow has this year gone by fast.

By the way, we're at episode 91 now. Crazy, right?

Today I'm spending a short amount of time talking about Ancor's newest addition to this podcasting platform. They're now allowing podcast creators access to new sponsors for their shows. I've recorded one advertisement for Anchor.fm, and one for
Flipboard.com. Just another revenue stream that adds to my overall business. Not a bad idea at all.

An Odd Week At The Airstream

An Odd Week At The Airstream

Let's face it, this has been an odd week here at the Airstream. A great Thanksgiving, cold temperatures, hot water heater problems, and a little Carbon Monoxide poisoning have made this a strange week for me.

Today's episode I spend a little time talking about the impact that small YouTube videos can have on your business. I hope you enjoy it, and come away with a few ideas for your own business.

A Cautionary RV Tech Talk Thursday. Check your detectors!

This is an embarrassing tale about not paying close attention to your RV maintenance. Honestly, the events of the past few days could have killed me. So for listeners here I have some simple advice.

•Check your smoke detector.
•Check your propane detector.
•Check your carbon monoxide detector.

Safe travels everyone!

Black Friday & Cyber Monday - So many reasons to un-sub from email lists

Black Friday & Cyber Monday - So many reasons to un-sub from email lists

My inbox has been over flowing with special deals. "Only 5 hours left....only 4 hours and 45 minutes left......" You get the idea. I'm thinking that we're going over the top with these emails, and they're actually turning me off to companies that I like!

Have Black Friday and Cyber Monday turned you off to companies you like? Are you finding that even after unsubscribing from a company's email list you still get email from them? How much is too much in your mind?

For my subscribers here, on YouTube, on my blog, etc., I don't keep email lists, and I don't pester potential customers or current ones. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I'd rather engage with people directly through the podcast or YouTube and not pop up in their inbox on a daily basis.

How much does it cost to develop an App?

How much does it cost to develop an App?

That's the question I was asked yesterday. I always enjoy open ended questions like this. Well, not really. Questions always come to mind. "What does the app do? Do you want it on iOS and Android? Is it an interactive app? Is it a location based app......?"

I think you get the idea. But often times people want to jump right to price before specifying what it is they want. "What's the price of a car? What's the price of a new home?" Well, the answer to both of those questions is that it depends on many things. You can get a broken down car on the cheap. You can build a 20 x 20 building with no windows and doors on the cheap. But is that what you really wanted? Probably not.

Black Friday 2018 - E-mails and special deals in my inbox!

I get a lot of email every day. But today??? Yeah, Black Friday sales are coming at me fast and furious! I'm staying away from the stores today. How about you? Today's plan is simple. Continue enjoying the holiday weekend, finish watching "The Gauntlet" Msytery Science Theatre special on Netflix, and maybe do a little drone flying for the day. Here's hoping you're having a great and restful Thanksgiving weekend as well!

E-Learning from Anywhere!  Learn new skills from your RV, Home, Apartment and more!

E-Learning from Anywhere! Learn new skills from your RV, Home, Apartment and more!

My first experience with E-learning took place in the early 90's as I learned about how the Internet worked while it was still developing. And over the years I've used Lynda.com, Udemy, YouTube, and other platforms to learn about subjects I was interested in.

Today the options to learn from anywhere are growing at an amazing rate. For my Full Time RV followers, if you're interested in something there's most likely a class about it online! Learning doesn't have to stop just because you're in a "non-traditional" environment.

Included in today's show is the announcement of my latest online course too. Drone 3D Modeling for Beginners. And for the first 25 signups from this podcast.....you get the class for free. So if you're curious about making 3D Models with Drones, this is the class for you. All I ask is that you provide some honest feedback on the course when you've watched it. The link is below.

Blowing up Granite and Bending iPads....Fun times, fun times.

Blowing up Granite and Bending iPads....Fun times, fun times.

A late episode, but an episode all the same. And the news in today's podcast was very interesting to me. First, the Daily Courier (local newspaper) had a story about widening Route 89 through the Granite Dells. Not long ago I posted a video on YouTube about the increase in traffic from north of town and Chino Valley. The video speaks for itself, and here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vM7q8veKQ&t=2s The second news item in today's podcast has to do with the new iPad Pros being "too easy to bend." After watching several videos over the weekend of people destroying $1000 + devices I have this to say.... Click bait for monetization on YouTube. Bending the new iPads takes an effort that I don't see happening in day to day use. The story feels like hype to me.

Tech Talk Thursday - Fake domain name registrars - Don't pay for fake services.

This week I received an official looking email from a domain name registrar. Of course, it was a fake registrar and I recognized it. Sadly many people fall for these types of scams. Today we'll talk about recognizing these scam emails. They impact private website owners as well as business website owners. Be aware!
