I’m honored and grateful to have been invited by Johanne Dodon to participate in a very special Free 10-day virtual event.

MIND BLOWN!

Last night I experienced something quite amazing. Automated simultaneous translation of an art technique by Mee Chee Soo from Mandarin Chinese to English.

It wasn’t perfect, but I was able to follow along and understand the vast majority of what she had to say, which was truly amazing to me.

And you can experience it as well!

The Great Discovery's free 48 hr virtual event started on Friday, Oct. 11, 2024 at 1PM ET, and it's been amazing! I'm learning valuable information and meeting wonderful people from around the world. 🌎

The event runs until 1pm ET on Sunday, 10/13, and I'd like to invite you to join me at the event HERE: https://go.eventraptor.com/summit/discoveryfest-2410/andrewd

Just choose "Register now for this free event," and you can leave “Your TGD User Name” and "The person we can thank" blank. You'll need to use a Chrome Browser to enable the translation engine.

And feel free to share this message if you think others might like to learn from people around the world!

If you missed it, or would just like to take a few free courses on the platform, here are two that I recommend:

A few months ago I joined a fantastic online course platform called The Great Discovery. It's different from most course platforms in a few ways (here are just two):

1. You can upload a course, which can be just text, an e-book, an audio presentation and/or video (or a combination of all of these), and pay just a one time fee instead of a monthly or annual fee, which is quite different from many other course platforms that can cost hundreds of dollars a month.

2. You can share your content in one of over one hundred languages, and those who want to take the course can listen and watch you in their language. And there is a way to have the content presented as though you are speaking in other languages.

The Great Discovery is running a free 48 hr event starting at 1PM ET today, Friday, Oct. 11, 2024, and they are doing something amazing. They are using a technology that allows people to hear their own language when someone is speaking a different language. And this is not just for the presentations, it's also for the breakout rooms, which are rooms that usually have about 2-10 people. I can't wait to try this out!

And below is a partial list of the many speakers at the event with the topics they are covering:

Michael Whitehouse: What makes an Awesome Virtual Interactive Event

Linda Fisk: Insider Secrets to Becoming a Global Influencer

Matt DiMaio: How To Learn Everything Faster and Easier

Suzee Jalani: Smart Money Squad: Teen Financial Literacy

Below is the link to register for the free event (or you can join the event any time if it has already started). If you can't stay for much (or any) of the event, you will receive links to the replays after it ends.

Join the party HERE, which is STARTING NOW: https://go.eventraptor.com/summit/discoveryfest-2410/andrewd

I learned a new word yesterday!

I always enjoy learning new words, especially when I've heard the word before but did not know its meaning. The word is "Heuristics," and I learned it from Zaccary S. Call, an Investment Advisor Representative with Capita Financial Network about an hour and five minutes into a video titled: “How to Tell Which Financial Professional You are Working With.”

You can find it on The Retirement Nerds YouTube channel. I don't know Zaccary personally, but hope to connect with him here on LinkedIn.

The video popped up while I was doing some research into the topic of how to prepare for retirement. And I'm glad I watched it! I like the straightforward approach of the host and guest, and highly recommend taking a look. And I've decided not to define the word here since it's easy to find with a quick search, or in the portion of the video I mentioned. 📺

On that note, I've learned a lot about financial planning over the years, and as we get closer to retirement, my wife and I are paying even more attention to our future.

A few months ago I attended a three-day online event titled: Financial Freedom 101, hosted by Penelope Jane Smith. I found the information to be extremely helpful, and though I knew things like the "Rule of 72," there were many things I didn't know.

I then reached out to her office and decided to help promote her events and programs, including a free training event that's happening today, Thurs. 9/26/24 at 12:00 PM Pacific / 2:00 pm Central / 3:00 pm Eastern.

Back in December, 2023 I joined this fantastic networking group: Grand Connection Business Networking Community . Every year, they invite their members to create a gift as part of a bundle of valuable content (in some cases, the gifts even include personal consulting sessions). I've been taking advantage of the many resources, which range from tips for improving your marketing, to navigating Google apps, to delegating weekly tasks.

My gift is an e-book that goes with my Backup Blueprint. It goes over all the main sections of my Blueprint, from battery backups to disk cloning, to cloud backups. It can really help you to better plan your backup strategy, regardless of your computer system.

May the 4th Be With Us! I thought that this would be the perfect day to share this photo session image with actress, model, and filmmaker Alexandria Pascucci from a few years back. 📷

If you have a light saber (or three!), I highly recommend giving it a try with your friends or family. A dark room and a directional spotlight on your subject(s) to add a bit of light here and there (depending on the strength of the light saber's beam) will usually create a nice "space opera" atmosphere.

And feel free to share how you are celebrating your May the 4th! 🚀 🌌 🤖

As I prepare for the 2024 eclipse under mostly clear blue skies, I thought it would be fun to share a photograph from way back on August 21, 2017, when I captured this image. Instead of zooming in, I'm showing it full frame, as I captured it, which is probably very close to how millions see solar eclipses like this one when looking through eclipse-safe glasses.

If you viewed or plan to view the eclipse today, I hope you enjoy the experience! 🌙

As a game designer/inventor, I get a lot of value from resources like these:

Good! Get a copy of my FREE 10 Minute Board Game Design Blueprint and start creating games better and faster!

I can't think of a better way to say goodbye to 2023 than by sharing this photograph that I captured about 10 days ago near my home in New Jersey, just before autumn turned to winter.

It's been wonderful seeing so much art here on Facebook, including: photography, oil painting, sculpture, 3D art and animation, board games and other amazing inventions, poetry, words of encouragement and a lot of gratitude.

Thank you and Happy New Year to all! 🎉🙏

My good friend and President/Founder of Frame Destination Picture Framing Products was recently profiled in Voyage Dallas Magazine. I've known Mark for over 10 years, and learned quite a lot of new things about him and his company from the article. Reading some of the quotes from his customers underscored for me how passionate he and his team are about customer service. Many of my FB friends will know that about 10 years ago, I brought an idea to Mark's company, which we developed together. It's called the GalleryPouch art bag.

You can read the whole article from Voyage Dallas Magazine here:

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Rogers. Mark, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. I’ve been interested in photography since childhood and became a serious amateur photographer in my thirties. I was thrilled when Epson re...

I just noticed that there is a free e-book available with Portrait Photography tips from lensculture.com when you sign up for their email list (see below). I was pleasantly surprised to find links to not one, but six guides when I received the confirmation email. Inside each one, you will find interviews with photographers alongside their work, which is like attending a presentation by a photographer at a gallery opening.

Big thanks to Sharon Lavier O'Keefe for posting her entry to a contest run by LensCulture, which led me to the free guides.

Download this FREE resource for portrait photographers or anyone who simply loves photographic portraits.
