Re: Had my second dose of Vaccine yesterday - Yesterday

Had my first Moderna shot shot on the 10th. I had some mild soreness in the arm that day and a little the next. Got tired in the afternoon of the first day with chills that passed by bed time. In the evening of the shot a got a huge stye on the lower lid of the eye on the opposite side where I got the shot. The next day I had swollen glands on the side with the stye.

Re: Market numbers show Mirrorless-ILC are taking over the used market as well - 2 days ago

I’m not sure I’d agree that it makes no sense to buy an a6000 today. I bought mine in 2017 for $598 with the kit lens and am still using it. I bought it back then because I wanted a decent camera that was light and small for a trip to Spain. I also wanted an inexpensive camera in case it was stolen or lost and it really did a great job for me. People wanting Sony and buying this camera genera

My wife got a little UV box that she throws her phone in when she comes home from work. Does it work? Who knows but I can attest to the fact that she now forgets to take her phone with her when she leaves for work in the morning more often.

Re: Computer Music Gurus: Basic Mixer? - 9 days ago

You mentioned needing to use a CD player or a turntable. Keep in mind that a turntable output is much lower than line level out from a CD player or other line level source. You usually need a preamp to boost the turntable signal. If you need it, this is helpful:

Sirius XM - still finding ways to tick me off. - 9 days ago

While I think Sirius XM is one of the slimmest companies around, I had found a way to exist with them by doing the usual 6 month renewal boogie for some years now until today. Calling up with 2 days left on my contract, I was offered a $5 and change lifetime subscription with no need to call back to renew at anytime. However there was one catch. It required a charge card.

Re: iPhone 12 MagSafe charging question - 9 days ago

Quotespace-time yes, this is why I asked. So your Yootech works with both iPhone SE and 12, but: Apple MagSafe works only with iPhone 12 (SE 2020 is not listed as MagSafe compatible) Anker works with iPhone SE but not 12. So there are multiple wireless charging standards? Disappointing. Yes, MagSafe and Qi- compatible chargers are different. MagSafe charging can use more power and charge

Quotemrbigstuff QuoteJoeM Quotemrbigstuff Yes on Sade! I watched the earlier tour released on dvd and it's really good. For some reason the 2011 show is OOP. But can get it for about $25. Check Amazon, there are some new and used options there. BluRay for 22.92, used for $16. That band is TIGHT. Yes, they really are a smokin’ band. Great stage production too.

Re: Need pricing advice - I'm getting requests to purchase my photos - 13 days ago

Quotedeckeda That’s what I don’t understand. On their site I see that images only have one price. They should have multiple prices based on the license. The license should mean something, or don’t bother with it. $5 for personal use, like a tip jar. Buyers can hang it on their wall. Something more if it’s for a business’s wall. Something more if it shows up in digital advertis

Re: Need pricing advice - I'm getting requests to purchase my photos - 13 days ago

QuoteAllGold Interesting. I hadn't heard of Picfair. For print prices, really it's just whatever you want. I would go no lower than about $20 for an 8x10. I would be a little wary about their download licensing. I think I personally would want to avoid that so I would set the rate ridiculously high and have the client contact me for licensing.

Re: Need pricing advice - I'm getting requests to purchase my photos - 14 days ago

Quotedeckeda Do they offer different pricing based on license type? Or is each image designed to only be offered with a certain license? I'd want to be able to offer pricing based on usage. Yes they do . Here’s some info from their site: We handle logistics and licensing When you sell a print, we'll produce and ship it for you. If you sell a digital download, we handle the licensing
