Photosweeper for Apple Photos. Tips on How to Deal with Photos That Are Very Similar But Slightly Different It's all about the eyes.  If the eyes aren't in focus, delete immediately Keep the first one and get rid of the rest At the start of the emotion - When Ashley and I were going through Big Sur photos, this one stood out. …

    Decision: Why I Stay With iPhone

    It is easier when the family is all in the same iPhone ecosystem. We can find each other, share photos and airdrop each other, even just to name our family group chat. You can’t do that if someone isn’t on iPhone. And you can FaceTime too. I know there’s other apps, but it’s just easier. I really like the Photos app on Mac and iPhone and how it syncs with Cloud.  I love the Live Photos, especially when it app creates a memory from the photos.  I love how the live photos bring it to life.  When 3rd party apps like Adobe Elements or Google Photos creates videos from them,…

    Fitness and Gyms

    30 Day Challenges 30 Day Squat Challenge - I started this with Nicole and got about halfway through but never finished the challenge 30 Day Burpee Challenge 30 Day Plank Challenge Gyms 24 Hour Fitness - Not too happy with this gym right now.  We're a member of the PQ Gym by Stater Brothers.  It is always super hot in there.  The best treadmills are closest to the door because there is a fan and you don't get trapped by the pool with the heat from the machines and sweaty people and you're not overwhelmed by the smell of chlorine.  Also, they reduced their hours so it's not 24 hours…

    Why I still give my cell phone number instead of doing everything from my CRM

     Right now, I switch them over but I am debating the same thing. I like seeing when my message is Delivered or Read if the recipient has an iPhone. Also, other things aren’t easy from the FUB mobile app such as sending videos, BombBomb integration, sending locations from Apple and Google maps, etc. I just talked myself into continuing to use my cell phone number. These are the same reasons I got away from Google Voice for a separate business cell phone number. I can’t send contact cards or group text either.
