Does it fit? Third looks – my #Spectacles from SnapChat Part-3

Third looks – my #Spectacles from SnapChat Part-3. This time, it’s about size.

Yep, you heard that right, it’s one size fits all.

Me? Well, I don’t exactly have a classic Caucasian face with a sharp nose and chiseled chin. But they sit kinda pinch the bridge of my nose. However, everyone wears their sunnies differently.

Tip-3: If you see someone wearing them in the wild, ask them to try it on.

(I also heard Shaq tried them on at CES this year too.)

BTW-no animals were harmed in the video.

More to come.

Here’s my second observation with SnapChat’s #Spectacles

Duh right?!?!

Additionally, I am sure you are downloading your content in HD so that drains the battery even more because you are transferring it over bluetooth.

Sucking it dry…with social media.

More tomorrow peeps.

Here’s my first observation with SnapChat’s #Spectacles

They are big. Here’s a comparison from my Spectacles vs an ordinary pair of Oakley Holbrook sunglasses.

Yeah yeah, I know they are now called Snap, but I believe if you reference “Snap” this is what most everyone thinks.

More tomorrow peeps.

Marching right in…is March!

Marching right in…is March!

In the first full week, as 1Q starts to close out, I will be finishing up my yearly requirements including compliance and yearly required classes/re-certifications from the agencies I represent.

Second week, I’ll head to Boise to teach some advanced social media courses. Keep your eyes peeled for me in Idaho!

Third week, I’m headed down to Anniston for some FEMA Mission Ready Training with my favorite HQ peeps. Now you know, I wanted to attend the 2017 NEMA Mid-Year Planning Conference, but I just can’t swing it this year.

Then the fourth week, is packed with teaching some new peeps from Woodlawn, everyone’s favorite, ICS-400: Advanced Incident Command System (ICS).

Fun with tourniquets! #trauma

Quick – take the picture will ya!

Yearly tourniquet competency – check!

Few notes for those that want to get/use one.

  • We all have bigger clothes (esp in the winter time). Get the larger width and size tourniquet.
  • Deploy and activate your equipment using your non dominate hand. It is likely that your primary hand maybe occupied or injured.
  • Tighten ALL the way down. And then turn until the bleeding stops.
  • Most importantly, train with your equipment…esp immediate critical intervention stuff.

Hope you never have to use this on anyone else or yourself.

In 2017, I’m trying something new a few times a week

In 2017, I vowed to try a few new things.

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen – the continuous improvement of work efforts and personal efficiency, I decided that I take a few moments each week to do some meditation.

I don’t need to bang any gongs or burn any incense. (<–cause that would be a fire hazard). I just figured firming up my position might help a bit to refocus on priorities.

What brought all this? It was really my visit to the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto.

In my humble opinion (IMHO), one of the most spectacular places to visit.

Many parts make up the sum. Aside from rainfall, the sounds of calm override most.

With my meditation, these things help too.

  • Sip green tea.
  • Two hands.
  • Centering my soul.
  • Smooth thoughts. (Obv a nod to the motto “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”)

Let’s see how this goes.
