Podcast! Paul’s Interview and Tech Updates
Episode 26 Show notes
Paul shared his incredible story about how his life changed after a gravel truck hit hit car when he was seventeen years old. It was in the late 1970s and he has learned a lot of lessons over the years about what changes in life and what stays the same. He finds a lot of support in journalling. He has had many challenges over the years, and also discovered many unexpected gifts. We are glad that we got to talk to him. Thanks, Paul!
We talked about rumors of a Verizon iPhone in production, since factories are leaking orders that sound like iPhone parts for Verizon. Fingers are crossed.
We’re still trying to work with Apple and other tech companies to bring you the latest and greatest advancements in accessible technology. Paul had great reviews of the iPad, which makes reading enjoyable for him again.
We shared our recent experiences with Amazon Prime, which has some new incentives for moms and dads here. Pretty cool program. The Prime membership for everyone costs $79 a year. You receive free 2 day shipping. There are also options like subscriptions, which delivers an item to you at regular intervals (like our baby’s diapers once a month). With the mom-club, and a subscription, you get 30% off items you use frequently, which is an amazing deal. It’s a great shopping option as we come to the holiday season, if you’re like me and the stores are exhausting 
. Amazon is selling a lot of products these days, including cleaning supplies, groceries, and more. May be worth looking into
I’m also playing with the trial of Photoshop Elements, which is more in depth than Lightroom for photo-art-effects. I’m deciding whether I have the time to invest in learning new stuff. It does amazing things for photos. It seems like a companion program to Lightroom, not a replacement, because it does layers and special effects, but it isn’t as intuitive as Lightroom. I can see using a few photos with Elements to really play with . . .
Anyone use Elements with hints for me?
Oh, and Nook’s Pubit is live. Publish your books for Nook readers.
Have a wonderful, healthy week!
