Geeks in November
Click here to watch how I edited this photo on my phone.
The month of November was spent contentedly hanging out at home and working. We did go down to the beach to see the Super Moon rise through the clouds. We also took advantage of Fort Lauderdale’s Broward Center for the Performing Arts. We saw Bonnie Rait in concert, and Neil deGrasse Tyson’s show “An Astrophysicist Goes to the Movies” Both were excellent! See more photos in our November Photo Album.
For December we have one “gig” at the Central Florida Computer Societyin the Orlando area. We will take the RV and stay a week at Orlando Thousand Trails, then make our way back home for Christmas and New Year’s.
We posted our “What Does This Button Do?” online class every week in November, How to Backup your Smartphone, #99 Touchscreen Essentials, #100 Using OneDrive on Mobile, #101 Setting up a New Smartphone.
By the way, our pictures, Blogs, Web Albums, maps, and videos are all examples of what we teach. You can learn how to plan, preserve, and share your travels (or your life.) It makes the experience that much more enjoyable to get creative and share pictures, maps, stories, and movies with friends and family. Check out our Learning Library of Tutorial Videos, just go to GeeksOnTour.com and click the menu for Tutorial Videos. There are plenty of free videos in addition to our members only content to whet your appetite for learning.
