What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
My wife completed the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon (that's 13.1 miles for those of you who didn't know) last weekend and I couldn't be prouder of her. She set her mind to finishing it and did exactly that, even though she had to complete the entire mini-marathon by herself. She also bought a neat little device that helped me write today's blog. You see, my wife wanted to carry her iPhone with her during the race so she could snap pictures and update her Facebook profile. Anyone who has run with a phone before knows that putting your phone in your pocket… Continue reading...
I read an article on the Lifehacker website titled Keep an Emergency Photo Album in Your Phone to Quickly Provide Important Information in a Crisis. At first glance, I thought this was a good idea. I figured it meant to keep photos of important contacts or insurance information. But it was more than that. The article stated you should keep pictures on your mobile phone of your photo ID, your health insurance card, your auto insurance card as well as photos of your prescription medication. While I agree that all of this information would be incredibly useful to a doctor… Continue reading...

QUESTION: I just got a Nextbook 3 tablet. I cannot load apps. It says there is no room. I have a 16GB SD card installed.

When I first started Noobie, I purchased the Adobe suite of products (I think it was CS2) including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I did this because I was a techie and figured I could do all of my creative design work for my new company myself. Turns out it's not quite that simple. For starters, Photoshop isn't the kind of program you fire up, poke around a bit and within a few minutes have all of the features figured out. Quite the contrary, it's incredibly difficult (in my opinion) to learn. Furthermore, about every time you think you have something… Continue reading...
