The Airstream Chronicles

Don't Panic - It's most likely spam mail Mar 12, 2019

A new tactic in trying to separate you from your money, or just another iteration of the same old scam. Somehow people really want to take your money online by hacking you, or pretending you hack you. This morning I got a call from an old client who was worried his e-mail had been hacked.

Your best defense against this stuff? Educate yourself more about your email, web services, social media accounts, etc.

Is the RV Living Video Market Oversaturated? It might be. Feb 27, 2019

A new episode. Hooray. Excuses aside, it's been a very busy week since the last podcast. When things slow down I think the updates will come more often.

Today we talk about the RV Living video market space. Specifically we'll be talking about the group "Epic Nomad TV" that created a video documentary about full time RVers and full time RV living. They had a great goal, but it looks like they'll be closing up the business. Why has this happened? Listen in to the podcast.

Currently I'm in Casa Grande Arizona. I'm staying at one of the parks I'll be working with this week. I decided to sign up for a week with Airbeam for WiFi in the park. Unfortunately, the service doesn't work well at all. Actually, the word I'd use is "unusable."

Video games on the road? Yes indeed! Jan 22, 2019

Technology has changed so much over the past few decades. Where I used to spend my childhood evenings on the lake with family and friends playing board games and card games, today we find folks in front of portable computing devices "gaming." Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I'll leave that for you to decide.......

I will tell you this. Video games always come along with me on any Airstream trip.

The Abandoned Airstream Jan 11, 2019

Okay, the Airstream isn't abandoned, but I have been feeling some guilt over moving out of it. It's been my home for over a decade. All week long I've come up with excuse after excuse to go and pay it a visit.

I'll adjust, I'm sure. And there will be Airstream trips in 2019. So, looks like I've got to get over feeling bad about exiting the Airstream, and start looking forward to the adventures ahead.

Can I make money with Drone Job Websites Jan 10, 2019

There are many drone job websites out there for Part 107 Drone Pilots. The big question is pretty simple. Can you make money with these websites, or are the client requests undervaluing your work?

The answer? It depends on where you're located I believe. It also depends on whether or not the jobs are located in places way off the grid, or in busy metropolitan areas.

Tech Companies and Customer Care...or lack of care Jan 09, 2019

These days it seems like many tech companies are "getting to big for their britches." Do people still say that? Well, today I have a positive experience to share about the tech company Anker. Great customer support, and confirmation that I will continue being a happy customer.

Sadly, other companies that I have liked over the years are starting to fail when it comes to customer support, honesty in marketing, and getting people to pay for something that is unfinished.

Every time I hear "AI" I fear Skynet Jan 08, 2019

Seriously......Skynet. It's only a matter of time, the machines will take over. Fortunately, if you look at the Artificial Intelligence software today you'll feel secure in the knowledge it's not any time soon.

Companies touting "AI" features aren't really delivering on actual artificial intelligence. Often it's a flimsy marketing technique and nothing more. We'll talk about 2 software developers both offering AI, and the failure to really deliver.

Making a small business website is easy, right? Jan 07, 2019

Here we are back to the regular schedule for the podcast! And we're recording from the new studio room.

So, last week I had a conversation with one of my Udemy students about web building. She realized that my class (Wordpress & X Theme for Beginners) didn't cover big parts of web development. In the class I teach people how to make a website with Wordpress and X Theme. I don't teach creative writing, photography, graphic design, podcasting, video content creation, full Search Engine optimization, and more. There's a lot that goes into building a professionally crafted website, which is why there are so many web developers out there.

It's a big job! And most likely, if you're a small business owner, you've already got a job. So while you can build and maintain your own website, you might just want a professional to help you out. Honestly, I'm glad my student came away realizing she needed to hire a professional designer for her business. It means the class demonstrated there's a lot more to this.

Starting out 2019 right! I won a half million dollars according to my email! Jan 02, 2019

Ah 2019, I'm loving you so much already. Apparently according to an email address I don't know, I've been selected to receive $500,000.00! What a way to start the New Year off. I'm sure there will be some strings attached, but I've got to go for it, right? If nothing else, we know at the start of 2019 the scammers are still out there!

The schedule is changing for the Holiday Season! Dec 20, 2018

Over the next week or two this podcast will be a little inconsistent. It's time to kick back, relax, and enjoy our time with friends and family. This doesn't mean no podcasts will occur, but they will be less frequent through New Years. We've also got some major things going on for the New Year that I'll tell you all about in 2019. And those major changes are distracting me ever so slightly and need my attention now. :) Courses from AZ Drone •3D Drone Modeling for beginners: https://bit.ly/2qWR0zE •Drone Photography and Editing: https://bit.ly/2wx0Rz9 •Lightroom Workflow for Digital Photography: https://bit.ly/2PO0ish •X Theme / Wordpress Websites for beginners: https://bit.ly/2QAoejP Podcast and Video Tools I use •Cinema Grade Color Grading for Video: https://transactions.sendowl.com/stores/9682/129105 •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://bit.ly/2AcOxst •Sell your stock photos: https://www.dreamstime.com/#res346629 Drones and the Airstream Chronicles •AZ Drone: http://azdrone.net •3D Models: https://sketchfab.com/gadgetat •YouTube Drone Videos: https://bit.ly/2ApCPbX Connect with Rich •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://bit.ly/2PPukfc •Latest Stock Photos from Rich: https://bit.ly/2CZvH8E •Sketchfab 3D Drone Models: https://sketchfab.com/gadgetat/models •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Handholding in the creative process - Are Presets the death of creativity Dec 18, 2018

I've been learning a lot from the feedback of several of my online courses. Some students really want you to walk them through the exact process of website layout. Others want to get information about how to build their websites, and then branch off relying on their own creativity. What type of student are you? Today I'd like to start a regular conversation about creativity, learning, and mirroring the works of others. Many photo editing programs out there now come with "Presets" for photo editing. Drop your photo in, use someone else's developing knowledge, and call your new image a masterpiece. For me, I like learning from others, but then experimenting with my own looks. Which process is right, which is wrong? Is there such a thing as a "correct" photo or painting or website layout? Are we killing creativity and inviting cookie cutter designs from all corners? Let's have a conversation.

Everything old is new again! New life for an old Macbook Pro Dec 17, 2018

It's amazing how some things last and last. In technology that's not usually a thing. But when it comes to older Apple products you can really find long lived systems out there. I can't say the same for recent Apple products unfortunately. Last week it was pretty clear to me that my 2013 Macbook Pro was on its last legs. I couldn't even record an audio podcast to it without it saying my disk write speed couldn't keep up.....with audio. Wow! So I made a decision to take a risk and swap out the old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Voila! The old Macbook is now running like a new one again. Just amazing! I wish Apple would do a little self examination, and realize that allowing customers to upgrade their own RAM, hard drive, etc, isn't such a bad thing. I buy Apple products for their OS, not the new slick hardware. But that's just me I suppose.

Tech Talk Friday - Honest online reviews Dec 14, 2018

Yes, I missed yesterday's podcast. But that's okay, today's makes up for it I promise. Today's episode is also number 99! One away from one hundred! This morning I watched another overview of Luminar with Libraries from a favorite photographer. And I thought the overview was a little disingenuous. At one point early in the video the photographer said, "Try not to think about the things that it's lacking....." WHAT??? Online reviews and tutorials are great. But keep in mind many of them are sponsored videos. Paid advertisements and often people fail to mention that part during their review. Keep that in mind whenever you're looking for totally honest opinions. Speaking of reviews and people selling things online....below you'll find links to my online classes, my YouTube Channel, and more.

Tech Talk Tuesday - Luminar 3 Photo Editor - An audio podcast for a visual program Dec 11, 2018

Can you really do an audio review of a photo editing program? Sure you can. I've been working with Luminar for quite some time now. And as an editor I really enjoy the software. The latest feature which will be available in a few short days is a new Library for Luminar. You can now save your images into Luminar itself, which is a great leap forward. For many people, the hope is that Luminar can become a replacement for Adobe's Lightroom. Today it is not that replacement, but it may become a contender in the next 6 months. At present for my purposes, I'll continue using Lightroom as my photo management platform of choice. And I'll continue using Skylume's Aurora HDR and Luminar 3 as plugins to Lightroom. Do I like Luminar? Yes. Do I think the new version with libraries will assist in my current photo editing workflow? No. •3D Drone Modeling for beginners: https://bit.ly/2qWR0zE •Drone Photography and Editing: https://bit.ly/2wx0Rz9 •Lightroom Workflow for Digital Photography: https://bit.ly/2PO0ish •X Theme / Wordpress Websites for beginners: https://bit.ly/2QAoejP Podcast and Video Tools I use •Cinema Grade Color Grading for Video: https://transactions.sendowl.com/stores/9682/129105 •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://bit.ly/2AcOxst •Sell your stock photos: https://www.dreamstime.com/#res346629 Drones and the Airstream Chronicles •AZ Drone: http://azdrone.net •3D Models: https://sketchfab.com/gadgetat •YouTube Drone Videos: https://bit.ly/2ApCPbX Connect with Rich •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://bit.ly/2PPukfc •Latest Stock Photos from Rich: https://bit.ly/2CZvH8E •Sketchfab 3D Drone Models: https://sketchfab.com/gadgetat/models •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

An Audio and Visual Podcast from the Airstream Chronicles Dec 10, 2018

Over the weekend I spent some time working with the new Luminar 3 photo editing program. I've been looking forward to the new version, so I ended up recording 3 videos about the good stuff and the bad stuff. And that work over the weekend inspired me to do something different this morning. Not only is there an audio podcast here, but I also filmed the making of the podcast and it will be up on YouTube this afternoon or tomorrow! Just trying something different.

Web Design, Graphic Design, Social Media, & SEO are not all the same thing! Dec 07, 2018

Before getting into today's show notes I want to share an anniversary with you. 45 years ago on December 7th, 1973 my mom underwent the start of her bone marrow transplant. She would have died without it. So on the anniversary of her transplant I wanted to take a moment to remember her and to be thankful that I had her in my life 25 years longer than I was supposed to. For today's show we're talking work in the digital realm. I recently applied for a part time job with a company here in Arizona. They're looking for a Graphic Designer. I am not a graphic designer. So why would I apply for the job? Well, the job description includes website design, Search Engine Optimization, Social Media expertise, photographic expertise..... oh, and some graphic design. I'm not kidding you. The job description encompasses 4 actual full time jobs easily. And they're looking for 1 person part time to do it all. Unrealistic? Yes. But also an opportunity for me to help educate them on what their priorities are, and see if my skill set could fit in with them. Am I hopeful about getting a call back? 50 / 50 really. I might be a little over qualified, and often I've found here in AZ that if you look over qualified you don't even get a phone call back. We'll have to wait and see.

Tech Talk Thursday - Solar Power for your new RV Dec 06, 2018

Today's episode was inspired by visiting many RVs yesterday while waiting on my Airstream repair. So many new RVs include solar pre-wire setups. But the question is, are these solar setups good enough to run all the amazing tech inside new RV's? The short answer from my time looking in so many new models is no. If you're shopping for a new RV and plan on camping off grid, get your questions ready for your RV dealership. Be sure to get educated responses to your solar questions. And if you don't get them, do some more up front research before making your purchase decision. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Tech Talk Tuesday - Wordpress 5.0 is coming! Dec 04, 2018

Big software updates always make me a little nervous. Back in 2016 a major update to a software package I use for web development broke every website I tried it on. Turned out the developer didn't fully beta test the update, and it cost me weeks of my time. The folks who make Wordpress, a favorite web development tool, are pushing out a huge update to the platform this week, and that makes me nervous! Fortunately I don't update client websites until I see that the updates don't destroy my websites. So RLC Design is always the test platform. Good for my clients, painful for me.

December of 2018 is already here. 2019 is just around the corner. Wow has this year gone by fast. By the way, we're at episode 91 now. Crazy, right?

Black Friday & Cyber Monday - So many reasons to un-sub from email lists Nov 27, 2018

My inbox has been over flowing with special deals. "Only 5 hours left....only 4 hours and 45 minutes left......" You get the idea. I'm thinking that we're going over the top with these emails, and they're actually turning me off to companies that I like! Have Black Friday and Cyber Monday turned you off to companies you like? Are you finding that even after unsubscribing from a company's email list you still get email from them? How much is too much in your mind? For my subscribers here, on YouTube, on my blog, etc., I don't keep email lists, and I don't pester potential customers or current ones. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I'd rather engage with people directly through the podcast or YouTube and not pop up in their inbox on a daily basis.

How much does it cost to develop an App? Nov 26, 2018

That's the question I was asked yesterday. I always enjoy open ended questions like this. Well, not really. Questions always come to mind. "What does the app do? Do you want it on iOS and Android? Is it an interactive app? Is it a location based app......?" I think you get the idea. But often times people want to jump right to price before specifying what it is they want. "What's the price of a car? What's the price of a new home?" Well, the answer to both of those questions is that it depends on many things. You can get a broken down car on the cheap.

Black Friday 2018 - E-mails and special deals in my inbox! Nov 23, 2018

I get a lot of email every day. But today??? Yeah, Black Friday sales are coming at me fast and furious! I'm staying away from the stores today. How about you? Today's plan is simple. Continue enjoying the holiday weekend, finish watching "The Gauntlet" Msytery Science Theatre special on Netflix, and maybe do a little drone flying for the day. Here's hoping you're having a great and restful Thanksgiving weekend as well!

E-Learning from Anywhere! Learn new skills from your RV, Home, Apartment and more! Nov 20, 2018

My first experience with E-learning took place in the early 90's as I learned about how the Internet worked while it was still developing. And over the years I've used Lynda.com, Udemy, YouTube, and other platforms to learn about subjects I was interested in. Today the options to learn from anywhere are growing at an amazing rate. For my Full Time RV followers, if you're interested in something there's most likely a class about it online! Learning doesn't have to stop just because you're in a "non-traditional" environment. Included in today's show is the announcement of my latest online course too. Drone 3D Modeling for Beginners. And for the first 25 signups from this podcast.....you get the class for free. So if you're curious about making 3D Models with Drones, this is the class for you. All I ask is that you provide some honest feedback on the course when you've watched it.

Blowing up Granite and Bending iPads....Fun times, fun times. Nov 19, 2018

A late episode, but an episode all the same. And the news in today's podcast was very interesting to me. First, the Daily Courier (local newspaper) had a story about widening Route 89 through the Granite Dells. Not long ago I posted a video on YouTube about the increase in traffic from north of town and Chino Valley. The video speaks for itself, and here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vM7q8veKQ&t=2s The second news item in today's podcast has to do with the new iPad Pros being "too easy to bend." After watching several videos over the weekend of people destroying $1000 + devices I have this to say.... Click bait for monetization on YouTube. Bending the new iPads takes an effort that I don't see happening in day to day use. The story feels like hype to me.

Facebook IMovie and iPhones - A funny public argument! Nov 16, 2018

So Facebook execs should use iPhones? The very public argument between Apple and Facebook is giving me a few giggles. We'll talk about that in today's episode, and also about the fact that the latest iMovie update no longer allows for immediate upload to Facebook..... Are things heating up in the argument? Also, at the start of today's episode I include a PSA for RVers. Stop washing your RV rugs with rubber backings in public washers and dryers. Seriously, have a little consideration for those around you!

Water Heaters and Facebook - A day in my Airstream life! Nov 14, 2018

So yeah, the hot water heater sprung a leak last night. Ah the joys of full time RVing. Today's podcast we talk a little about last night's exciting leak. Home owners experience similar stuff all the time. It's no different in the Airstream, but still aggravating. For the second part of today's program I talk about the fact that I'm not as active on Facebook as it looks. My podcast is uploaded to Facebook through its own interface. The podcast also gets uploaded to Twitter from the Anchor FM app as well, and I never look at Twitter. So, how do you get ahold of me? rich @ rlcdesign.net!

"Low Tech" Talk Tuesday - Heated Hoses and Heated Homes Nov 13, 2018

Ah winter in the Airstream. Ah winter in any RV. When temperatures drop below freezing what are you going to do? Make sure your city water intake isn't frozen, and also make sure the inside of your RV isn't frozen either! Today's podcast is a chilly one. The heated water hose is doing great. Our new space heater is not doing so great. So we've got one recommendation today, and one disappointing piece of technology as well.

Ah yes, the morning got away from me on Friday. It happens. Work first, podcasting second. Yesterday I spent the morning collecting data for a new 3D modeling project I'm doing. A few hours outside, some fun drone flight, and then a few errands. By the time I was ready to podcast the motivation faded away.

Full Time RVers and YouTube - Making an income with social media? Nov 08, 2018

Recently I watched a favorite full time RV couple's YouTube video about needing some help from their audience. They were looking for testimonials from viewers to share with potential advertisers. Bottom line? They're trying to earn their full time living with their YouTube channel about living in an RV. Nothing wrong with that. We've all got to earn a living. I wonder though how many viewers actually make buying decisions based on their favorite Full Time RVers. See, a lot of RV channel followers aren't RVers yet. They're dreaming about it, learning about it, and enjoying following along with other people. But they aren't actually in a position to buy RV related items because they're not in an RV. In my case, I'm monetizing this podcast and my YouTube channel by offering classes on things that reach a larger audience. And no, I'm not making a true living at it yet. But hard work, plugging away, and slowly growing are part of my strategy.

Tech Talk Tuesday - Oh Apple Nov 06, 2018

Apple's recent event left me a little underwhelmed. The new iPad Pros, the new Mac Mini, and the updated Macbook Air. In the end my response could be summed up in one word. Meh. I've never considered myself a "power user," but I do a lot of things other Apple buyers don't do. I podcast, edit videos, created 3D drone maps, edit photos, and more. So I suppose from that perspective I'm more of a power user than most. And the recent updates to Apple's lineup just aren't crying out to me. Here's hoping by the time I have to replace my current computer Apple will get back on track and start really innovating once again.

Two days of missing podcasts? Here come the excuses...they're good ones! Nov 05, 2018

Yes, last week I failed to pop up the Tech Talk Thursday podcast, and the random Friday podcast. Thursday's excuse is a simple one. The day got away from me. Friday's excuse. Medical stuff. And you can't fault me for medical stuff. It's a rule. :) So here I am on Monday morning catching you up on what's been up. In this episode I took the time to list off all of the foods that can vote me off of the island permanently. And I covered some of the foods that I'm "sensitive" to as well. Who knew there would be 2 groups of things. Sensitive vs Severely allergic to. The podcast will be updated every day this week, I promise. No more excuses, at least for the near term.

Over winter in your RV - The smart move? Head South! Oct 31, 2018

Last year on my YouTube Chanel I talked about over winter in an RV, specifically my Airstream. I thought I'd follow up on that conversation today as I woke up to 33 degrees outside this morning. The Airstream floors were extra cold, and I woke right up the moment my feet touched the floor. The number one way to be comfortable in an RV for the winter? Head south! This is the time of year to visit Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, and all the hidden gems in Southern Arizona. It's not called a mobile home for nothing!

Tech Talk Tuesday - Why are professional photographers so expensive? It's all digital now, right? Oct 30, 2018

This is a tech talk / work talk Tuesday episode. Over the years I've met many full time RV'ers who try to make a living doing photography while on the road. Often they realize (too late) that they're priced to low for the services they offer, and they end up looking for alternative revenue streams. I'm one of those people myself. I moved away from private portraits to commercial work, as I could request my actual value in commercial situations. So, why is professional photography still "so expensive" even with the advent of digital photography?

A busy start to the work week from the Airstream Oct 29, 2018

This morning I've already uploaded images for print, started setting up a new YouTube Video, and added a few new email addresses for a customer in Southern AZ. And I've recorded and uploaded this podcast at 8 a.m. You really can work from your RV or other unique location! Today's episode is a short but interesting one. And later in the week, Wednesday, we'll be having a conversation with another full time RV'er who happens to live in Australia, so stay tuned for that one!

My Digital Telecomm Revolution Story Oct 26, 2018

Today's episode is a story from days gone by. It's the story of how I went from being a Graduate student in Economics to being a network design engineer in the wireless telecommunications industry. It's a weird story, and I always felt like I was in a Dilbert Cartoon. This story leads to other stories and how I went from being an engineer to owning my own small business and living full time in the Airstream. Over the course of future podcasts we'll continue the story of the weird roads we go down in life. Have an awesome weekend everyone!

The Future Is Now - Mobile Broadcasting From Anywhere With Network Oct 25, 2018

When I started working in telecommunications in 1996 I never imagined we'd get where we are today. Smart phones in so many hands. And what these mobile devices can do is astounding. Live broadcasting is now within the reach of anyone who has a smart phone with them! Remember big news vans, giant satellite dishes, and a whole lot of tech were required to put up a live news cast? Yeah, now we can do the same thing with our smart phones. Live streaming has been around for a bit now, but have you ever considered the power of this tech revolution? You don't need a huge budget or a van full of gear. An iPhone or Android is all you need and you can be a live broadcaster yourself. How exciting is that?

Catching up! What's going on at the Airstream Chronicles Today? Oct 24, 2018

Ah today's show is truly random. I'm working on a new 3D Model generated with a drone today. I'm working on additional lectures for my Landscape Photography class. Also, doing a little updating over at AZDrone.net. Basically today is a catch all, and that's what I talk about today. You can't "script life" for every podcast or vlog episode. So today I just talk about what's on my mind and in my head. If you want to give this episode a pass, I understand. But if you don't mind a guy rambling about drones, online classes, and small business, go ahead and tune in today!

Drones and your small business Oct 23, 2018

Over the weekend I spent some time flying over a new house for sale in Chino Valley Arizona. I also photographed the new home, and shot additional interior and exterior video as well. In the end? I just landed a new client that will need me to image over 30+ homes in 2019. Fantastic! Today's episode was inspired by the work I did this weekend. Drones are finding many uses in our economy, and the industry will continue to grow over the next few years. Concerns over privacy invasion are over blown in my opinion. Drone pilots have more of an interest in growing their businesses, and invading people's privacy doesn't create a new revenue stream, it only serves to aggravate the public. To see the work we did this weekend, check out the link in the show notes below that leads to AZDrone.net Links related to today's show: •AZDrone New Real Estate Service Info: https://bit.ly/2yy2HAS *3D Drone Models on Sketchfab: https://sketchfab.com/gadgetat/models Online Classes •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

The cheapest price doesn't mean the best product Oct 22, 2018

Why is it so many business owners go after the lowest bid instead of the best product? I have never heard of a fantastic experience getting the cheapest service. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for." If you're a small business owner, or even a mid-sized business owner I'm sure you've learned offering the lowest price doesn't get you the best client pool. You need to respect your value that you offer, and your clients should also respect the value of the work you do. If it all comes down to the lowest cost solution I have a feeling you won't enjoy working with your client for long. Today's podcast we talk about a few App development stories, and how going for the lowest bidder didn't work out well. In the case of one App development my friend and potential client ended up spending a lot more than he wanted to because he was focused on a low hourly rate rather than a quality product.

Addicted to keywording - Having fun with Photography again! Oct 19, 2018

Over the past few weeks and months I've found myself having more fun with photography again. The frustrations of photography mounted over the years as I felt undervalued in the industry, which is part of the reason I walked away from the gallery and studio years ago. Too many requests for free advice, too many lookers and not buyers....you get the idea. So I'm thrilled that as I've been assembling new courses on Udemy for Lightroom, Drone Photography, and Landscape photography the joy has come back into my photographic work. That's why the podcast is late today. I was going nuts with keywords for the micro stock sites I've started working with. This weekend I'll be out shooting for fun! And for images to sell micro stock. That's my idea of fun. What are you up to this weekend for fun?

So Many Software Updates - Are they all worth it? Oct 18, 2018

The latest version of Adobe's Lightroom Classic has been released. And after checking it out and doing some testing all I have to say is "Meh." Companies are on such aggressive update cycles. A new iPhone comes out and there are already leaks about the next version. A new Note phone comes out and there are already leaks about the next version. It's never ending. And for highly mobile workers living out of RVs, vans, or flights all over the planet these updates do little more than eat up bandwidth and time. Security updates are one thing. But constant software updates that offer little to no new benefits are getting old!

Stock Photography and Video - A Full Time RV Travel Revenue Stream? Oct 15, 2018

A few episodes back I talked a little about stock photography and video services, and the fact that I joined up with Blackbox.global. Things have been going well so far, and the exercise reminded me that I might have some more images for stock photography sites as well. Years ago I signed up with Dreamstime (link below), and submitted less than 300 photos. And over the years I've made nearly two thousand dollars off of those images. That's over a decade, so not earth shattering numbers, but it's still passive income. Since we had a rainy weekend I decided to go through my old images and see what else I could send. Bottom line? If you're traveling and enjoying amazing places, I'm sure you have some images you could sell as stock. The more you have in your portfolio, the more you could potentially make! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Small Business Owners - It is not cool to "Shop" your competitors Oct 12, 2018

So you're building a small business. Maybe you're starting your own portrait studio. You've got several potential competitors in the area. So you decide to call them pretending to be a customer and learn more about their price model and services. Not cool! Over the years I've been "shopped" more times than I care to count by other people looking to compete in the market space I'm in. I have no problem with competition, but I do have an issue when people pretend to be customers thinking they'll get more information out of me. Seriously folks, if you're starting up your small business, messing with other business owners time is not the right foot to set forward. If you need help starting up your business you'd be surprised how many "competitors" might just be willing to talk to you about their business. I've talked to many photographers and web designers over the years about what I do, and what they want to to. 9 times out of 10 they're no threat to my market space, and often I find what they're doing interesting as well. So, if you're starting up don't be a tool and "shop" your competitors. Instead be honest, and ask other business owners if they'd mind a conversation with you about what you're doing. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

The 1 Minute iMac 2017 Repair. My BS detector is going off! Oct 11, 2018

A week ago I dropped off my 21.5 inch 2017 iMac with Geek Squad here in Prescott AZ. The system was booting up super slow, hanging up, crashing when more than one program was on, and making sizzling electric sounds randomly from the speakers. I purchased the iMac at Best Buy less than a year ago, and also purchased the Apple Care as well. The agent saw the computer was booting super slow (more than 5 minutes and a few extra minutes before you could open programs) and made the decision to send it off for repair. Apparently, whoever the computer was sent to has super powers. They booted, diagnosed, and repaired my computer in under 1 minute. That's right, 1 minute. I want their super powers! Is the system really repaired? Does Apple care more about their iPhone and iPad customers than their computer customers? We'll find out soon. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Traveling with a Tablet Only - iPads and Androids for all your computing needs? Oct 09, 2018

Are today's tablet devices up to the challenge of being your only computer while on the road? Maybe..... It depends on your needs. In my case, I need more screen real estate. I also use a lot of peripherals. USB microphones, SD card readers, CF card readers, external hard drives, a keyboard, and a mouse. My job is very computing intensive. In the case of other travelers, my setup might be over kill. And a tablet may be all you need. You need to decide what it is you really need, and what you can live without. And in the case of many RV'ers and full time travelers, a tablet may cover everything you need while on the road! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

My sister, her husband, and my 3 nephews arrived in Prescott on Saturday. Go figure, bad weather for their whole weekend here while tent camping. That's just part of travel though. Today's episode I talk about the long weekend, my camping evolution, and my family's visit. This is a short show today as I'm spending a little more time with the family before they head off today toward home. They've tent camped across the US over the past few weeks, and it's now time to make their journey home.

The dumpster fire that is my 2017 iMac - The first time Apple has disappointed me in a big way Oct 05, 2018

Glad to say I actually purchased Apple Care with my 2017 iMac. I don't usually do that. Maybe I doomed myself. Since getting my 2017 iMac I have experienced something I've never experienced with any other Apple product. Extreme disappointment and issues. Today I'm brining my computer "into the shop" again. Yes, this isn't the first issue, but it's the final one for me. Electric sizzling sounds from the speakers randomly, blue tooth disconnecting, Wi-Fi disconnects, programs freezing randomly, and more issues as well. Seriously, I recorded this podcast on my Macbook Pro (2014) this morning. Glad that little system still runs (albeit slowly). Tech problems happen, and sometimes you have to waste a day or two to get them dealt with. Wish me luck.

HDR Photography & Aurora HDR 2019 Software - Enhanced Landscape Photography! Oct 04, 2018

Skylum has released their latest version of Aurora HDR software. So this morning I downloaded the latest version and started experimenting with it. I've been doing High Dynamic Range Photography for over a decade now. I started out with Photomatix Pro, and last year tried out Aurora. There are some things I like, and some things I don't. I've used HDR for my landscape photography and travel photography for a decade now. HDR has come a long way, and Skylum might be on the right track. There will also be a follow up to this podcast on YouTube later today or tomorrow morning, so click the YouTube link below to see Aurora HDR in action.

Photography and Drone Flight - Enjoying image creation Oct 03, 2018

I've been doing photography work since 2006. And as with any work we sometimes feel unappreciated sometimes, and we step away from that work. I've had that experience, and I'm sure you have too.

Tech Talk Tuesday - Selling stock images and video online. Oct 02, 2018

For years I've sold stock photography online. And last year I started selling stock video online as well. Often I just didn't have time to upload to multiple sites (it's bandwidth intensive for video). But recently I came across a company called Blackbox.global. Submit your video to them, and they get it listed with several stock footage sites. So I'm giving them a try, and I'll share the experience with you. Stock images and video are another possible revenue stream for full time travelers. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Today's podcast tells you why, in no uncertain terms, I'll never do another website for anyone in this market space again. Huge money, poor money management, and crying "cash poor" while purchasing yachts, giant homes, and yachting lessons. And all the while, asking for discounts for other people's services. Yes, I learned my lesson! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

The Winter RV Migration Begins - Snowbird Season! Sep 28, 2018

October is only a few days away. The temperatures are cooling off here in Prescott as we're a mile high. And soon the temperatures in Southern Arizona will be "cooler" as well. Given that Fall is coming in, and winter isn't far behind, the mass migration of "snowbird" RV'ers is beginning! In today's episode I talk about RV Parks and Resorts in Southern states. I also talk a little about "boondocking" and off grid camping for the winter season at LTVAs and other similar locations. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Small Business Owners gamble on themselves every day! Sep 26, 2018

Yesterday while working on my latest online class it struck me that I must have a lot of faith in myself and my work. I'm investing so much time into the latest class. For all that time invested I'm not even certain about what the return will be. But you know what? I believe in the projects I do. I have to, I'm responsible for growing this business after all!

Do you care about smart phone specs? How about photo rules? Sep 25, 2018

Today is tech talk Tuesday, and we've got 2 subjects today. First, do you care about smartphone specs at all? Do you just want it to work, and so long as it does the specifications don't matter? That's the camp I fall into. Our second topic for today. Do photography rules mean what they did 20 years ago? Probably not. The size and format of your final images are all over the place these days, so maybe it's time to rethink some of those rules. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Too old for the Internet? Too old for Tech? No, not at all Sep 24, 2018

I often hear from park and resort owners that their target customer base is too old to use the Internet, and too old for tech. That's just not right at all, and today we'll talk about that. Remember, if you're 65 today you were only 40 when the net became really popular. So I know you know about it. And I know you're using the net to find goods and services. I believe in you, Amazon believes in you, but smaller businesses sometimes don't believe in you! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

RV Travelers - Slow down and enjoy where you are. Sep 21, 2018

This is a recurring theme for me. When I started traveling with my Airstream in 2006 it felt like a race across the country. I was tired from long driving days, and I missed out on a lot. And the moment I slowed it down a bit? Yeah, so much more enjoyment. If you're a full time RV'er ask yourself this. "Why am I in a rush?" If you don't have a good answer, maybe it's time to slow down a little. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Software Updates - They're part of daily life! Sep 20, 2018

There always seems to be one type of software update or other waiting for us. Our smartphones seem to be getting constantly updated for apps or OS. Our computers are always crying out about this over due update or that one. And our websites often need regular attention as well. Every day I feel like I have one update or other to do! This is a universal thing if you're a tech user. You don't need to be a full time RV'er to experience this.

No matter what you're shooting with, I'll be covering it in this upcoming course. For my highly mobile audience... Doing these courses is part of my job from my RV.

Tech Talk Tuesday - iOS 12 & Enjoying your work Sep 18, 2018

Everybody has been talking about the Apple Keynote, the new iPhones, and iOS 12. Yesterday I went ahead and updated my phone and iPad. A little unnerving, but so far it's working well. What's the one feature that I'm excited about? Listen in. The second part of today's podcast talks about running a business out of your RV, and how some people devalue your work because it looks like "fun" to them.

Sometimes even Internet presence can't get you found. Sep 17, 2018

Building your business in the middle of nowhere doesn't sound like a great idea. Building a business in the middle of nowhere with no amenities around even sounds worse. Sometimes not even Internet presence can fix things for you if nobody is searching for you. There's got to be a reason why someone is searching for you, and if you don't provide them any reasons it's going to be a tough sell. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

The quest for perfection leads to procrastination Sep 10, 2018

Small business owners face some challenges that are shared by all of us. Often times we use the excuse of trying to get something perfect to help us avoid showing our final product to the world. At times the perfection quest can become paralyzing and keeps us from succeeding at what we're doing. A class I took years ago from UGurus addressed this issue. And the owner of the company, Brent Weaver said something that really hit home for me. "Do something imperfect." That's what we're talking about today here at the Airstream Chronicles! •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Airstreams - The Original Tiny Home Sep 04, 2018

There's so much out there these days about the tiny home movement. Living a more minimalist lifestyle and all that. I have to say, I've been a full time Airstreamer for over a decade now, and I think the original tiny homes might just be RV's. Mobile home, small footprint, and definitely requiring a conscious effort to not clutter your little home. Today we talk Tiny Homes, a new Tiny Home Hotel in Cave Creek AZ, and my puzzling over how mobile tiny houses really are. •Check out my class on Drone Photography and Image Editing, more than 50% off for visitors to this channel!

We're already at Episode 29 here at the Airstream Chronicles Podcast. I have to say, I'm extremely excited that this channel is coming along so well! Thanks to all of you listeners here we're growing! In today's episode I do a little recap on this weeks shows. They're a good example of what I'm trying to achieve here. Showing you a real RV lifestyle. Many YouTube channels out there paint full time RV'ing as super exciting, full of travel, and the real world doesn't pop up often. In truth, full time RV living is just like any other type of living.

Why Hello Game Changer! DJI's Mavic 2 Pro first impressions Aug 30, 2018

Okay, okay. Another drone podcast? Heck yeah, it's part of my business that I run out of the Airstream. And wow, if you're interested in a small portable and powerful drone platform to bring along with you in your RV, backpack, etc, I'm thinking the Mavic 2 is it. I've gotten a couple of flights in now. And I can say for a fact that the still images coming out of the new sensor are stunning. Shooting in camera RAW the images look great before even thinking about an edit. And now we've got Aperture control on this one!!! F/2.8 through F/11. This is a total game changer for aerial images coming from such a small drone! • AZ Drone: https://bit.ly/2L8A5Sv •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

My medical rant - Stop misplacing my paperwork folks! Aug 29, 2018

This has been a summer of doctor appointments. General practitioners, endocrinologists, allergists, ear nose and throat docs, neurologists, and a ton of misplaced paperwork. How is it that I can hand deliver paperwork to a physician's office and then receive a call weeks later that the paperwork is lost. And also that my GP needs to redo my authorization to see a referral as they misplaced that too? It doesn't inspire confidence. Not at all. As we move forward into the 21st Century I sincerely hope that we can see improvement in the medical community, it's a pretty big mess from my perspective. Let's hope I get my issues resolved soon! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Does mobile technology impact a true wilderness experience? Aug 28, 2018

Early 2018 my friends Josh & Leigh visited one of my favorite locations in Arizona. The Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. They had the opportunity to visit "The Wave," and camp near The Wave at State Line Campground, right on the AZ / UT border. I can't tell you how surprised I was to get text messages and photos from them. See in years gone by there was no mobile communication from the area. It left me feeling like that super remote wilderness experience was somehow now diminished. Today I talk about that feeling, and invite you to chime in on whether or not having your cell phone work in a total wilderness harms your experience or improves it. •Vermillion Cliffs Images from the Airstream Chronicles: https://bit.ly/2Pdkkfr •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

DJI Announcement Event & And A New Class From The Airstream Aug 24, 2018

Well, Fridays are supposed to be for random camping stories, RV'ing stories, and other random information. But today I've got to extend my tech talk so I can cover DJI's announcement yesterday. The new Mavic Pro 2 is coming out, and I'm too excited about it to let this one pass. In addition to talking about DJI's announcement, I have a small announcement here as well. In the next few weeks I'll be publishing my latest class to Udemy. The class will be on Drone Photography and Editing specifically. There are many courses out there on Drone Flight and Video, but there's not a lot out there for those of us still interested in still photography. •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at rlcdesign.net --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

More than one year ago I did a short video on working with a new RV Park in Springerville AZ. The park was not completed at the time, nor is it today. 44 sites out of more than 100 sites have full hookups at the moment, and to help fund the continued construction of the park those sites are open. In the video I talked about what was and wasn't available. And in the past month people have discovered the video, and unleashed their really negative comments about it. What's with all the hate folks? If you'd like to see the video, here's the link. https://bit.ly/2N4pgT2 Sometimes I think it's too easy to say things on social media behind the wall of anonymity. •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

The Mavic Pro and Pro 2 - RV Sized Drones Aug 21, 2018

If you're looking for a super portable drone platform to use in your travels I can't recommend the DJI Mavic Pro enought. And hopefully soon I'll be recommending the Mavic Pro 2 as well! Flying the Mavic Pro for the last year I can say I'm extremely satisfied with the drone overall. I only have 2 major gripes. No aperture control, and the fact that my sensor leans to the "cool" side in color temperature. Both things that I can work around at the moment. •Check out AZ Drone: https://bit.ly/2L8A5Sv •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Value your work, no matter where you're working from! Aug 20, 2018

Just because you're a full time RV'er, or you work for yourself, or you run a small remote business with employees scattered across the country, what you do has value. Don't devalue what you bring to the table because of the lifestyle you've chosen. Today's topic comes up after a conversation with a friend about someone wanting to use one of their photos in a new book. The book's author is contacting people on Instagram and other platforms looking for free images for his new book, which he will be charging money for. The offer is he'll give photographers "Exposure" for their portfolios in his book. Nice right? That's like offering the Home Depot "Exposure" for giving you free wood for your new home build! What you do has value, never forget that!

Flying Drones from the Airstream Aug 17, 2018

It's been just about a year since I received my Part 107 certification from the FAA! And over the course of the past year I've improved my drone flight, video, and photography. Not only is drone flight fun, but it also has the potential to become a viable business for highly mobile people like RV'ers. The drone industry is still in its infancy, and the applications are doing nothing but growing! This weekend I'll be doing a little flight for fun, and for work. And today's podcast talks about both sides of the coin. •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com •My Wordpress and X Theme for beginners class: https://bit.ly/2MuO6OU •Greg's Part 107 Class: https://bit.ly/2MwpQMr --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Privacy in the digital age? Yeah, that's a tough one! Aug 16, 2018

Privacy in the digital age is a tough one. Traveling with a smart phone turned on? Your wireless carrier knows where you are. Making a purchase online? Someone knows your purchasing preferences. Secretly like watching YouTube videos? Google knows all of your favorites. True privacy these days means totally unplugging. If you have a networked device using a Virtual Private Network, the people running that know where you are and what you're searching on still. How much information do you want out there? That's up to you, but if you're connected to a network information about you is going to be "out there." •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Allergies are nothing to sneeze at! Aug 15, 2018

In today's episode I talk about truly severe allergies. Often when people think of allergies they don't think about the fact that some are severe enough to kill a person. I'm actually one of those people with a huge allergy list, and many of those allergens are life threatening to me. In talking and interacting with people regularly I find they don't really get it. And that's frustrating at times, so today's post covers what can happen to a severe allergy sufferer. If you ever invite someone to dinner or a cook out and they have some bad food allergies???? Well, don't feel bad, it's not you, it's the food! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

There are Apples in my Airstream. Tech talk Tuesday. Aug 14, 2018

Since the Airstream first hit the road in 2006 there have always been Apple products in it. I hit the road with a MacBook Pro in 2006. Years later I purchased my second MacBook, and finally the Macbook Pro that I've had since 2014. I'm not an Apple "fan boy." The products have worked well for me for years, especially while being highly mobile. Today I'm beginning to have concerns when it comes to Apple's direction with the laptop and desktop market. I think they're focusing more on "form over function," and I think that's a dangerous road. With so much focus on iOS, and think they're losing their vision on "development grade" equipment. Only time will tell. •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Working from your RV can sometimes be lonely Aug 13, 2018

Here we are. Another weekend is over and it's back to work for most listeners. I've got projects lined up for the week from the Airstream so I've got work to do. But sometimes working remote can be a little lonely. If you don't work with a team, have people to interact with during the day, you can find yourself missing being part of a larger group. Today I talk about working alone, working remote, and sometimes feeling under appreciated for what you bring to the table. Before you set off on a full time RV adventure, or working from home, consider what I talk about here today! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles •E-mail Me: rich at richcharpentier.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Camping Stories - Banned from Uno and Trivial Pursuit! Aug 10, 2018

On today's podcast I talk a little about my summer time experiences on Manchaug Pond. Today's focus was the fact that my uncle didn't appreciate my regular winning streaks in both Uno and Trivial Pursuit. So I got myself banned from playing with the adults! Do people still play games when they travel and camp? Have our digital devices taken the place of that evening family time? I'd love to hear from you and your thoughts on the topic! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •Want to support this podcast? https://anchor.fm/the-airstream-chronicles --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Creating a podcast episode with the iPhone and Anchor Aug 09, 2018

Today’s episode was put together with my iPhone 8 and Apple’s AirPods. During the recording I kept calling the AirPods air buds. Whoops! I wanted to test the audio quality with the Anchor app and the AirPods. Listening to an excerpt I’m not super happy with the audio quality provided by the AirPods. Live and learn. That’s part of experimenting with tech that’s new to you. Also in this episode I talk about turning off notifications and how that can help your concentration and work. My favorite way to procrastinate happens to be instagram. So I have notifications turned off on it so I don’t spend a lot of time on it every day! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

A Chronic Illness Started My Full Time Airstream Life! Aug 08, 2018

Some of you may be familiar with this story. For other listeners this might be a new one on you. It's a sad story at points, but please don't feel bad. It's also a story that explains why I'm not running around more with the Airstream. I'm posting this podcast today to help myself talk through what's been going on with me medically recently. Consider it a self help podcast for the day. And I don't mind if you give today's show a pass. And just so you know, the Airstream has played an integral part in this story. The greatest lifeboat in the world!

Strange E-mail, Unlimited Data, & Net Neutrality. E11 Aug 07, 2018

For today's tech Tuesday we're talking about a few issues. Strange fake e-mails hit our inboxes every day. Today I received a good one and I share it with you. For the next topic, "Unlimited wireless data plans." Yeah, words don't mean what they used to. When there are limitations on an Unlimited plan, somehow the carriers want us to believe they're still unlimited. Dictionaries for everyone! Finally I touch base on a topic I want to talk about more. Whether your a highly mobile tech pro, or a regular Internet user, Net Neutrality is a big issue that needs to be addressed more.

A Weird Work Week At The Airstream - Being Flexible! Aug 06, 2018

This week won't be my typical work week. Two days are totally shot this week due to some medical issues and visits to doctors. Part of the reason I'm building my own business is to allow me the flexibility to deal with some medical problems that have been going on for over a decade now. And this summer has been very trying due to those issues. In order to address the medical stuff I really have to be very flexible about my work hours, and working for myself allows that flexibility. My clients don't care what time of day I'm sitting at my computer, so long as the work is done! •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ •As always today's music track is licensed through Soundstripe --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Vlogging from the road - Can you make a living on YouTube? Aug 02, 2018

Vlogging is the rage these days. Some people are getting YouTube famous, others aren't. If you're thinking about creating online videos from your travel adventures, your life, or maybe even your favorite hobbies, is it worth it to do? Well, yes, it's worth it if you set realistic expectations. In today's podcast we'll talk about the gear you'll need, the realities of the time it takes to produce a good video, and how you earn income from your Vlog. This is a longer episode for sure, but I'm putting it out there to help you understand what goes into the process, the time it takes, and the realities of getting money back from your hard work.

Online RV Park Reviews - You have the power - Episode 7 Aug 01, 2018

In today's episode we're going to do a little more mobile tech for RV'ers. There are now a host of services for RV Park reviews out there. Things like rvparkreviews.com, and campendium.com offer RV'ers an easy way to learn about campgrounds where they're traveling. Also Google Reviews, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...all of these services can be places where we talk about and recommend parks. All of these services are also locations where people can thoroughly troll parks as well. Like everything else with the net there are positives and negatives. It's up to us as RV'ers to help our community find the great places to stay, and create realistic reviews as well.

You can certainly work from the road if you want to. There are some careers that are easier to work on remotely, and some that are tougher. Doing IT work, database design, web design, and SEO work for clients is very suited to my situation. Today I'm off to visit with Bret Blevins regarding his new online drawing course. I also fill you in on my main "equipment" used from the Airstream. If you're not an RV'er that's okay. Working from home is possible in many sectors of the economy today.

Why do you like Camping? My own story and nostalgia Jul 27, 2018

We all have our reasons for enjoying something. I've spoken to people who love tent camping, RV camping, etc. And I've met many people who don't enjoy camping at all. We all have our "thing." Since I was a little kid I've enjoyed camping. Summers with my Aunts, Uncles, Mem & Pep (grandparents), cousins, and neighbors. All on a little lake in Sutton MA. I think the Airstream has been and always will be a reminder of feeling so connected to my family as a child. Of course even beyond those formative years I've enjoyed the outdoors immensely. Living in the Airstream against a beautiful backdrop continues my enjoyment to this day! •What do I record with? https://amzn.to/2LJHL1A •Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/gadgetat •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Modern RV Camping - Are we "over connected" now? Episode 3 Jul 26, 2018

Tech Thursday addresses the question as to whether or not we're over connected. This isn't just about RV travel or Airstream living, this question extends to all parts of our lives. While I'm a huge fan of mobile technology, the Internet, and sharing things with a larger audience via today's network technology, I'm afraid we might be losing something. Modern RV Camping includes tablet computers, Android, iOS, laptops, and more. And if you look around any campground, or any populated downtown area you'll find people pouring over their mobile devices and not interacting with the people around them. Are we disconnecting from the reality around us? Time will tell. •What do I record with? https://amzn.to/2LJHL1A •Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/gadgetat •If you enjoy the music check out Soundstripe: https://soundstripe.grsm.io/RichardCharpentier •My YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2mI1qkm •Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingintin/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-airstream-chronicles/support

Podcasting vs YouTube - Why create this podcast? Jul 26, 2018

In Episode 2 we're going to talk about my current YouTube Channel (which will still grow just slower) and the new podcast. Going forward I'll be doing one YouTube video per week, and at the same time multiple podcasts per week. Bottom line, for straight up information podcasting makes more sense for me. YouTube videos (the great ones) require a lot of time, recording, editing, etc. So, I'll be slowing down the videos but hopefully improving their quality with more time between each video. And at the same time when a topic comes up or I just feel like sharing some information the Podcast is here to assist. If you're using Anchor.fm be sure to leave a message with any questions!

The Airstream Chronicles 2018 - Episode 1 Jul 25, 2018

This is the first episode in a new podcast series from Rich Charpentier and the Airstream Chronicles. Today I introduce the new series to you and tell you a little about what we'll be covering here. The plan here is to create a new show from my home and office, a 25 foot 2004 Airstream Safari. This podcast isn't going to be all RV'ing all the time. Instead we'll cover a variety of topics from mobile technology to camping stories. We'll also talk about the latest trends in mobile tech for mobile workers, and occasionally we'll touch on topics that are important to me.
