Sept 30, 2016 Tidbits

So we are going to have a few topics to read here, well more for all of you guys to read since I am the one who will be writing them but I also read my own anyway to triple check everything, although keep in mind that even though I may be telling you some facts and some true stories tonight but tomorrow, next week, next month or next year may change as we know that the stories or facts keeps on changing when there is something new information. That is one thing that I dislike about blogging, when I double checks the facts and the sources that happens to confirms my information that I will be giving then in the future that my information that I gave had been changed or edited. Any valuable information that sounds too good to be true, I have always provided sources to them to confirm the information that I have written on my blog or on any websites that I own or is on and I have done that since the day I launched JoshiesWorld back in the year of 2007 in August although I took a break by shutting down JoshiesWorld back in the year of 2010 through 2011 I believe or 2009 through 2010. Regardless I follows a few ethnic of code in journalism which applies both blogging and vlogging. For example, I have to try to be as responsive as I can to readers, anything that I would be saying sounds too good to be true that I must have some sources to back them up, allow both positive and negative comments from readers although I have the right to remove any comments only if they are direct insults or bullying either towards me or other readers.

My most weakness when it comes to blogging? I am known as impatient person so for me to try to find some interesting article so that I could share my opinions or to summarize them, so in other words I am not a fan of going through hundreds of articles and news looking for something that is finally interesting that I think some of you guys might want to hear my opinions on it.

Even though it is my weakness, I still do it because I am a blogger for a reason and I am passionate in blogging. Have you ever heard “click-baiting”? If not then it is where some journalists, editors or bloggers write a title for the article/post that have nothing to do with what they says in the article or post. That is where my weakness comes in, because I don’t like seeing a title that sounds somewhat interesting then I decided to click that title and jumps into it to read only to find out that it was talking about a whole of something different that has nothing to do with the title. Anyway, I better get started on the tidbits and I hope that all of you will enjoy this tidbit although I suspects that it’s not going to be my best one but I am hoping that won’t be my worst one as there are several tidbits that I have wrote which you can find them by doing a search at the top in right corner of the website on here.

Sept 30, 2016 Tidbits

I have mentioned this many of times before and I will mention this again. Tidbits means that it is more than one thing or to be precise, definition have tidbits at:

Tidbit
[tid-bit]

1a delicate bit or morsel of food.
2. a choice or pleasing bit of anything, as news or gossip.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/tidbit

Now you understand what tidbit means, it is in dictionary and bloggers or vloggers do them to discuss about more than one topic. It is an interesting word, I have discovered that a few years ago when I came across a website and decided to look in the dictionary to see what it means so after I have found out the definition for it then I searched “tidbits” on search engines or on videos sharing website like YouTube then from there I saw a lot of bloggers or vloggers write tidbits so that practically what I had in mind when I founded JoshiesWorld but didn’t know if there were a word for that but apparently there were.

GoPro

If you are tech guy or woman who loves tech gadgets and stuff then you would know what I am about to talk about by saying the word “GoPro”. For these of you who aren’t heavily into tech stuff then GoPro is a brand for action camera. GoPro is very well-known in the universe for their action camera, when you sees a video where it shows Person of View POV, such as some vehicles that races or drag racing, you would see some of the adventures and outdoors videos such as ATV/four wheeling where the person would be wearing the camera mounted on either their helmet or on their machines. If you saw some television shows that has very tiny cameras inside the vehicle, especially in corner of front vehicle from inside against the window where they would be facing the driver and passenger then there is a high chance that they are recorded with GoPro. GoPro is massively successful company that produces a such quality camera that is specialized in action such as outdoors, hunting, fishing, car racing, boat racing, on person body and among others.

With that being said, GoPro is known for their action camera, for a few years starting with GoPro all the way to GoPro Hero 4 and GoPro Session 4 which you can easily find them at Wal-Mart or Best Buy. Until now, GoPro decided to expand their business by adding more items to their list such as their own drone namely Karma and their stabilizer namely Karma Grip. Not only that they also launched the newest generation of their action camera line, calling it GoPro Hero 5 and GoPro Session 5. GoPro Hero 5 is said to be their bestest and most powerful action camera that they have ever produced. For many years GoPro have produces a couple or three editions for each generations such as regular, silver edition and black edition starting from $299 to $499 here in the United States. In the spring or last winter they produced a newest line of action camera that doesn’t carry the Hero name, namely Session 4 which is a smaller camera and it is in the shape like an ice cube although there were no editions for Session like Hero ones. For the first time since a few years ago, they announced the new GoPro Hero 5 on September 19th and there will not be any editions to Hero 5 as there were for Hero 4 or earlier. Before you would have to choose a few different action cameras such as GoPro Hero regular, GoPro Hero 4 Silver with touch screen and GoPro Hero 4 Black with no screen but increased high-definition to 4K recording.

This year since they announced GoPro Hero 5, as I said there isn’t any editions for Hero 5 so that would means that you would only have to choose two camera actions and that would be GoPro Hero 5 or GoPro Session 5. GoPro Hero 5 is priced at $399 which is cheaper than the black edition while at same time producing a lot more features than ever along with the touch screen which that wasn’t on the black edition one. GoPro Session 5 is still the same shape of ice-cube but comes with more features and finally is capable to record in 4K which GoPro Session 4 were not.

I notices that Hero 4 or earlier and same goes for Session 4 were only in black color but now their new color of the action camera’s body is grey which is an interesting choice. I think it makes them stand out a bit more than black but that is in my opinion though. I highly recommend that you get GoPro Hero 5 but only if you can afford $399 but if you cannot and can afford something that is a hundred-dollar less than go for GoPro Session 5 which is priced at $299. I realize that I cannot tell you everything about their new products because I am writing too long about GoPro stuff so I suggest that you head over to GoPro website and take a look at new products that they are releasing. GoPro Hero 5 will be released in Oct 2 which is this Sunday and the GoPro Session 5 will be released in Spring 2017. While you are over at GoPro website, take a look at Karma drone and their Karma Grip aka Stabilization.

Luke Cage and Netflix

Marvel have finally released a new superhero television show and is now available for streaming on Netflix. It was released on September 30th which is today or more of last night at midnight. I haven’t watched Luke Cage yet because I am still on several other television shows that I have not finished watching yet, such as The Flash Season 2, Gotham Season 2, The Arrow Season 4, Supergirl Season 1 and The Walking Dead Season 6. I bought all of these television shows on DVD instead of waiting for them to come on Netflix or Hulu because I am a very impatient person but good news for you if you are Netflix user, they have released The Walking Dead Season 6 on Netflix and is available to watch. Also they have released The Beast and Beauty Season 5 (or is it 6?) on Netflix too which I highly recommend that you watch that television show because you will be in awe and amazed watching it.

DJI Mavic Pro

Did you see the new drone that the drone company named DJI announced the other day named DJI Mavic Pro? I have seen, I haven’t tried because it’s not out yet and by the looks of it, their new drone is much smaller and more portability than their well-known drone namely Phantom. If you haven’t seen the new DJI Mavic Pro then I highly suggest that you take a look at it and watch the video of DJI Mavic Pro. I feel a bit sorry for GoPro, there is no question that GoPro have a better action camera than DJI’s camera namely OJO (I think?) or something. But when GoPro showed off their new first ever drone, Karma on the state live and the CEO of GoPro looked so excited because a lot of people considered Karma drone to be the next thing. Then out of blue, DJI came out and says “we got something better!” with Mavic Pro. As far as I can tell, if you are a such lover of GoPro and loyal to GoPro then go for Karma. But if you want the best drone than go for DJI Mavic Pro and this is coming from GoPro fan. Only edge that I sees DJI have on GoPro is their obstacles detection, which is also on their Phantom too but that feature is what helps your drone from crashing by hitting tree or any obstacles because if you try to fly the drone into a tree then it will stop before it hits a tree even if you on purpose wanting it to hit the tree. GoPro Karma doesn’t have that, so only edge that GoPro has on DJI is of course their camera but for DJI edge on GoPro is their drone so I guess it is somewhat a win-win for both companies.

Cigars

As you know, in my article from the other day that I was out for a week on vacation in Tennessee where we go and tour around Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg while at the same time we get to enjoy their annual fall hot rod run. Now before I get to it, some of you may not know that I am cigars aficionado as I buy high-end cigars especially from Dominican as it is the only country that United States allows for cigars to be imported from there to United States. I have never tried Cuban Cigars, it is one of my top five bucket lists before I die but as far as goes getting cigars that is as close as good as Cubans then that would be in Dominican. You can order cigars online by the way, even without showing your ID and in fact cigars are considered foods by FDA at the moment as it has been for several years. I believe that FDA is fighting to change that and put cigars under where the tobacco and alcohol is but cigars aficionado like myself is fighting against that because cigars isn’t for to inhale which many of the people didn’t know that. It is for a taste.

So I have looked for one cigar or that one box of cigars in particular for several years and they are very hard to find. Took me for many years to find them and I never thought that I would be able to find them to buy them until I finally found them up in Pigeon Forge down at the marketplace where the island is.

The name of the cigars is called Arturo Fuente Opus X: The Lost City. Probably one of the most expensive cigars that is legally to buy. Not the most expensive cigars of all but probably one of the most expensive cigars that is LEGAL to buy. Arturo Fuente Opus X: The Lost City is very limited in numbers. I always want to buy a box of them, a box would contains ten cigars and I came across one at a vapor and cigars store in Pigeon Forge Marketplace over in Island. It comes with good news and bad news. As I said I have looked for a box of them forever, they only had six cigars left out of that box as they had it on the display inside the humidor closets or whatever they are called. Each cigar is costs around $40, the average price for per cigar is around $10-$15 so imagine a cigar that costs triple or four times more than the average. Of course as I have looked for them forever, I bought the entire box with remaining of these cigars which were six and they are priced at around $400 but luckily the owner gave me a discount to around $200 since it didn’t have all ten cigars in the box. Arturo Fuente is my favorite brand of cigars and I am very excited that I now owns one of holy grail cigars under Arturo Fuente brand.

P.S. You can read my article about my trip in Tennessee and there is a video with it too so you can watch the video of my trip in Tennessee too! https://joshiesworld.com/vacation-in-tennessee-and-rod-run/

Donald Trump’s Temperament

I only have one thing to say about this topic, why in the heck did you encourage millions of people who saw your tweet and on television shows to watch a sex tape of that woman who you have name-called publicly? You are fortunate that no one of us called you back out about your wife who did half-nude or nude photoshoot and by your definition of name-calling that woman would match your wife also. No president would do such a thing, especially encouraging people and even children to watch sex tape of a woman named Alicia Machado. You are a joke yourself, you says that your temperament is calm and normal – I beg differ.

Installation of President at Gallaudet University

Roberta Cordano, I would like to congratulate you for officially becoming the 11th and the first lady as a president of the Gallaudet University. However I must say that I wish whoever did the live recording of your inauguration does a better job with tech issues because everybody including myself had a hard time watching your live video due to your lagging connection and as important as your inauguration, that shouldn’t have happened.

Stop With That, YouTubers!

Apparently a lot of top YouTubers such as PewPieDie, Unbox Therapy and others never checked their contributed closed captions before they decided to approved them to be uploaded to their videos. While all of them finally took the right step by providing closed captions for their videos as they were being pressured by myself and among other people including a well-known Deaf YouTuber named Rikki Poynter. I have on occasional, warned them a few of times via Twitter and emails that considering they have grown popular and that they turned them into a business which that would means they would have to follow laws including ADA aka Americans with Disabilities Act where it says that they must give access to Deaf and Hard of Hearing people including closed captions. If they don’t want to do closed captions then I suggest that they just gives up and stop making videos because hence they became a business that means they have to follow the law which shouldn’t be taken lightly. Nonetheless, they took the right step in by providing closed captions for their videos now but there is a problem and that is that they are not screening their closed captions that were contributed from YouTube community. Please check them before upload the closed captions to their videos is all that we are asking, I mean that is a very simple task! Geez.

Winter Is Coming!

Winter is coming as we knows it, we are in fall now and the winter is coming faster than it seems. The question is are we all ready for them?! Some snowstorms and maybe snowzilla is returning. Am I ready? Yes and no. First of all let me say that my favorite season is Winter, no question but there is a couple of things that I don’t like about the winter and that is taking out the electricity or making the roads inaccessible. But other than that I am very ready and I just hope that on these days such as my check-up doctor schedules won’t be conflicted is all I ask from the Mother Nature. What I am more excited is that in the winter means one thing and that is Christmas. I am certain that a lot of you are excited and looking forward to Christmas even if you will not admit it but inside you, you are excited. 😛
