I'm Done Playing the YouTube Game
There are countless gurus out there preaching that you need to keep your video content siloed so your audience, and YouTube itself, doesn't get confused when there are videos of different genres on your channel. They say this helps with viewer retention and helps YouTube figure out which

Her YouTube Channel
Her YouTube channel is also a work in progress. She’ll be adding clips to it over time. She wanted to say that she started this channel is order to participate in Coach Julia’s 2025 online international Christmas program (link below). Coach Julia needed access to the video, and we bought Debbie a DJI Osmo Mobile 8 gimbal for self critique during practice and to shoot the video. (What a terrific product. Tracks her with her own iPhone while recording video.) 🎥 Debbie’s YouTube Channel ⛸️ Coach Julia’s Program 2025

Journal Entry About Blogging
From this morning's journal entry: Strangely, my blog helps me organize my thinking about myself and my posture/relationship with the world. I think it helps me solidify a vision of what I want my life to "look like". (basically that I want to be fit and to have my place and affairs in order; and then to just play! 😀) I retired to play; like when I was a kid!

Gamification is fun!
Gamification works, and it’s fun! We had a relative who became interested in fitness tracking soon after she bought herself a treadmill. I shopped around and suggested this “Samsung Galaxy Fit 3” for her as a start. As it turns out, she has become as diligent as my wife at closing her fitness rings! (And, Debbie has closed her Apple Watch fitness rings 1764 days in a row!) I think the gamification of fitness habits is a good thing!, but it doesn’t stop there. Gamification of projects like my current facia board replacement project (documented here on my blog) is a motivator too! It’s fun track

Seriously fun things!
Seriously! , sometimes you've just gotta go have some fun!, to re-center yourself, or…just to go have some fun! These things have risen to the top of our list as "quick fixes" in the fun category: Since I didn't hide the brand on the non-motorized one I'll tell you that the motorized one is a BackFire Ranger (direct drive, solid wheels…offroad capable). And these things: They put you in flow. All of them do. We have two of each of the skateboards too, one for each of us. …and while I'm typing this I'm getting Medicare mass emails about "managing chronic conditions"…aw man! Go out and play! See

I know what you're thinking...
Uh huh...I know you're thinking, "Injured toe, huh; I knew all that skateboarding and stuff was dangerous." I'm being mean, or maybe defensive 😀,but actually (referencing my habit tracker) I didn't hurt it doing anything fun. With all the rain here in Florida, I slipped on some of that Nostoc algae (some call it dog doo algae) in the yard. My feet went out from under me and I landed in an "almost down" push-up position. I had caught myself not to face-plant on a stepping stone. I don't know how my big toe got so black and blue, except that I was wearing Crocs and I guess it jammed to the grou

Mini Photo Safari
What kinds of things for an average dude to blog? I would think we’d want to blog things that would impact others to read, epiphanies, extraordinary happenings, etc. It’s not a journal after all. But, I don’t mind reading the musings my fellow bloggers post. So, maybe I’m being too critical of my blogging choices. Here’s something. I bought one of the latest smart phones half a year ago and have been refining my photo app “quiver”. I don’t want to plug certain brands, so I’ll keep it generic. Besides the one that came with the phone (which is pretty good), I now have one that makes manual focu
