Kodak Kodachrome



Kodak is calling it quits on its 74 year long Kodak Kodachrome line. This is breaking an end of an era to film photography. For a little background info, Eastman Kodak's Kodachrome line was the oldest in the companies history and peaked in the 50's and 60's. Today the average sales of Kodachrome are less then 1%, which makes the reason for the company's choice to end the brand. Kodak believes retail stores will run out of the film by the fall of this year and plans to stop processing the film at the end of 2010. Today, 70% of Kodak's business has moved into the digital market and making the days of classic film camera coming to an end. To many people this announcement is not that big of a deal, sense the average user never used Kodachrome. However the film was a favorite for Hollywood and many professional photographers. RIP, little guy...you had a heck of a run

Qidoou Smart Sport Watch Review (Affordable Watch for Fitness Gurus and Kids)

Image
I picked up the Qidoou Smart Sports Watch as I wanted something to track my fitness and allow me to see when people called without always grabbing my phone.  The watch is very light and in turn comfortable, which surprised me with the rubber wrist band.  Considering everything it does and the price point also makes a great watch for kids or teens.  My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and I had no issues connecting once I downloaded the 2 apps (FunRun & BTNotifications).  FunRun is the fitness tracker stuff and the BTNotifications is how your phone gets the message, calls, etc. I only used the apps to set up the phone after that really didn't need to access them, so I wish they could combine them into one app.  Battery life has lasted me all day, but you need to charge it nightly.  Several built-in apps, so you have a little something for everyone.  Don't expect it to be the same level as the high-end brands, but it does all the basics plus a lot more for the
