This event was presented live on Sunday January 19, 2014 at 2pm. We demonstrate a few of our favorite tips about the power and the home button with Android and iPad. We also had Robin Seaver and Honey Burt with us. We know them from Sun City Hilton Head Computer Club. Robin teaches iPhone classes, and Honey also teaches about many different devices but her clear favorite is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. In addition to the video recording, there is a link below to a document with notes about the tips we covered.

Gabbing with the Geeks: from Florida Caverns State Park
The Geeks are ON TOUR. We start our summer from Florida and we’re headed to Colorado Springs for the RVSEF Lifestyle, Education & Safety Conference.
This stop is a beautiful Florida State park. We talk about how we planned the stop using Streets and Trips with the free POI Megafile. You can read more about that with this article “Streets and Trips POI Megafile” If you’re a member, you can learn how to use Streets and Trips with the tutorial videos.

Gabbing with the Geeks: Windows 8
We recorded this conversation, using my Droid Razr and the free Smart Voice Recorder App.
Jim talks about Windows 8 while we’re out for a morning walk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The audio is just under 10 minutes long. Please leave some comments below.

Honest! We did see Manatee in the canal while we were on this walk!
Podcasting Test
We are toying with the idea of doing a little podcasting. But, it’s gotta be easy! If we can figure out how to record the audio on our Droid phones and easily upload the file and put in a blog post like this, then we just might do it.
For this, I used the Smart Voice Recorder App on my phone, then I uploaded the resulting .wav file to a Podcast folder on our website and used a little bit of HTML5 code to emed the audio file here. Let’s see if this works!
Our testing shows tis works fine with the Chrome browser, but not so much with Internet Explorer. If it doesn’t work for you try this link.
And here’s a video using JWPlayer and AWS S3

This was recorded using Catch on my Droid Razr phone while we were driving down the road. Then I shared it to dropbox, then uploaded it to WordPress. I’m hoping we will do this kind of thing often.
Gabbing with the Geeks #13
Coming to you from upstate New York, this video was filmed inside the motorhome at Chris’s new office where she shows you how to turn a laptop into a desktop and Jim shows you his new iPad! He’ll even demonstrate how you can play our Show-Me-How Videos on the iPad while it’s sitting next to your computer. Just like having your own personal computer trainer at your side, but without having to set up a chair! We talk about many other things as well. Whenever a link can offer more information, we’ve added it below the video.

Gabbing with the Geeks #12: New Home, 4G
In this video you get a look at our new (to us) motorhome. It’s a 2007 Gulf Stream Endura Diesel. Referred to as a Super C, it is 37 feet long with 2 large slides and the floor plan is a unique 3 zone layout. We love it. Using our new 4G mobile hotspot from Verizon we are able to present our seminars from our motorhome even thought the audience is 1,000 miles away. Check out the video to hear how we do it.
Verizon Mobile Broadband
We’re at the Tampa RV Super Show this week and we spent some time talking to the folks in the Verizon booth. They are selling the Mi-Fi 3G mobile hotspot device as well as the 4G USB modems. Watch the video to see what they have to say, then click on over to our Forum to discuss it.
