Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
I saw this video about popping corn with multiple smartphones via Facebook mid last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHTayVYgdnY Without any research I decided I wanted to see if it was true.... [Insert massive SIGH here] ...After research found out I was definitely not the first to give this idea a go. After much umming and aaahing, I... Continue Reading →
