Questions from Ellen H.: Hi Rick. I need your help with something on Facebook.
Can tell me how to disable the “Memories” posts that pop up in my newsfeed every day? I don’t like them.
They would be ok if they didn’t have a habit of reminding me of bad events from the past. The one from yesterday was about my divorce, and it really disturbed me.
I hope you can help me disable them. Thanks Rick.

We all seem to have multiple portable devices these days, and keeping them all charged up and ready to use can be a challenge. And if you travel often it can be even more difficult.
That’s why always having a good portable wall charger on hand is a must.
The RAVPower 3-Port 30W USB Travel Charger (#ad) is one of the handiest chargers I have ever used. It’s small enough to easily carry it around in a pants pocket, yet it supplies a respectable 30 watts of charging power to up to two devices. [Read more…]
In a world where most of the news we hear tends to be bad news, it’s really nice when I can deliver a bit of great news on occasion.
Well, today is one of those days…
Amazon (#ad) has eliminated their $25 minimum purchase threshold for free shipping for all orders placed between November 1 and December 22 of this year!
Flickr has long been one of the most popular free photo storage services on the Internet.
However, that’ll almost certainly change once these changes the company just announced take place on January 8, 2019.
Question from Helen C.: My son is going to be taking a photography class next semester with an eye towards eventually become a professional photographer.
He needs a DSLR camera to get him through this class, and hopefully beyond. I’m planning to buy him one for Christmas and I need some advice.
I really don’t know that much about cameras in general, and virtually nothing at all about the DSLRs that are currently on the market.
Can you recommend a good, but relatively inexpensive DSLR that would be a good choice for a photography student?
If possible, I’d like to get something for around $600 or less, and a few included accessories would be nice (yeah, I’m a dreamer lol).
Thanks for your help in advance. (Love your site by the way!!!)
