In that I have very little time for video content creation, I am always looking for ways to make the time I spend trying to create this content as effortless as possible.
Currently, I use a number of cameras, software, lights, and other hardware
devices to create video content, including:
- DJI Osmo Pocket 3
- Canon EOS M50
- DJI Mic 2
- HP Laptop w/Windows11 Pro
- ULANZI LM001 Magnetic Mini Light for DJI Osmo Pocket 3
- HP H10H Headset
- Davinci Resolve 19
- Various other lights
The biggest problem I have with my current setup involves voice over creation. It may be that I am still learning the ropes with the Davinci Resolve 19 software (which I absolutely love), or the free version I am using has a few limitations.
Whatever the case, I do not seem to be able to connect via bluetooth both the DJI Mic 2 and HP H10H Headset and have the Davinci Resolve 19 software activate the mic.
Though the software recognizes each bluetooth connection, for some reason it disables the mic after (Davinci Resolve) startup. Yes, in the settings I ensure the mic can be used by Windows apps and programs and that each device is connected before I start the Davinci Resolve software.
Software installed on the HP Windows 11 Pro that does recognize both bluetooth devices, i.e., DJI Mic 2 and HP H10H Headset, includes:
- Snipping Tool (screen recorder)
- Sound Recorder (voice over, audio recorder)
The following video demonstrates the Windows' software audio
recording output.
Note, in the video I used the audio from the Snipping Tool screen recording, however both the audio files from the Windows Sound Recorder and the Snipping Tool sound the same.
I wish I had more time to figure out why I cannot use Davinci Resolve to create voice overs, however for now, I am going to use the Windows software to create the audio files.
In the future I hope to do more with the sound quality using the many features offered by Davinci Resolve.

I have been staring at a problem with the WiredPages Business page for just over a week and for some reason I am baffled as to what to do about the problem. The problem relates to 3 applications on the Business page which use the Federal Reserve API resource.
Accessing the FRED API in my local development mode to make the same calls
(business page calls)
produces no errors. Accessing other online
applications making calls to the FRED API throughout many of the pages of
WiredPages are also not producing errors. Just the errors for the 3
applications on the lower half of the business page- illustrated below.
I have been looking into many problems over the past two weeks. Many of them I have been able to correct, however, I decided to sit down and not do anything else about the above issue.
Why? I do not like why this is happening. See the FBI category associated with this post. Can I do something else to fix this? Yes, however it is the wrong push and I am not sure why this was done again.
Instead, I am thinking about why I like being a girl. Recently, I noticed
Belk had an undergarment style I like for everyday use on sale for $16.99. I
ordered 5 of the items in various colors. The order total came to $84.95, so
to avoid the $10 shipping fee I also ordered the Vince Camuto top shown
below.
Styles I own that work with the new Vince Camuto top are shown below.
Styles I want to own to pair with the top.
Below some of the links to the items discussed in this post. Unfortunately the slacks are wholesale pieces and I cannot provide the links.
- Vince Camuto Shimmer Tank Top
- Beige Fitted Pencil Skirt
- Nine West Floree Woven Slingback
- Crystal Dangle Earrings
I would need to spend $39.00 (Nine West Slings) and $17.90 for the Amazon Pencil Skirt, however cannot justify the spend. If I come up with the girl logic, I will let you know.
FBI, I have been working with logic for a great many years. My applications should not have the problems I have outlined in this post. I am 'only' using logic in this case and sometimes the hats I buy are too small. Too much interference. I said no.

It was a long end to the month of June with more issues than normal.
The problems began on Sunday, June 22, 2025 when the air conditioning failed. One electrician, an HVAC tech, and two plumbers later everything is repaired, however, it was a very hot two days.
I have been out and about over the last two weeks, however, did not have a lot of time to post about outfits.
Yesterday, I was out again for last minute items for today, (4th of
July), and other errands, so I decided to share my outfit of the day.
As noted in the illustration above, I received a package earlier in the week, containing new undergarments I needed because of weight loss. I decided to get the Vince Camuto summer top because it was on sale and I need more short sleeve tops to wear underneath jackets. I think it is going to be a long hot summer.
Below, a short video of the outfit I wore yesterday.
Happy 4th of July!

I had a couple of errands to run on Wednesday, so I decided on the light-weight wrap dress shown in the photos below.
In the details...
- Banana Republic Black Wrap Dress purchased around 2005 from the Arundel Mills Mall shop
- Taupe Cami underneath the dress purchased from Charlotte Russe also around 2005- Arundel Mills Mall
- Summer Sweater Taupe purchased last year as a sample for my shop
- Nine West Menora Pump purchased Amazon 2025
Below the outfit of the day video.
The dress is larger on me now than when I purchased it, however, I still need the cami underneath- for the coverage I like with the dress.

Though I have indicated this post is a style try-on type post, which suggests I tried on an outfit, which I did, it is more about two pairs of shoes.
That said, the suit (dress/long jacket combo) shown in the start of the video, was worn to a family wedding in 1995. I liked the length on the dress for the shoe comparison, and also wanted to see whether it fit.
The skirt shown in the above photos (also the last segments of the video) is an H&M skirt I purchased in 2004 or
so. It is a little big now, however, the length, again what I wanted for the
shoe comparison.
Do you like the Nine West Peni Pump? Here is the Amazon link. I really love that shoe.
FYI: The folder (sitting on my new SanDisk Extreme 2T SSD) holding the
videos, graphics, and text files for this post and
the Youtube description is 785MB. I have lots of storage, however, think I am
going to move the files to the drive after I finish each project.
See the last post for more information about my new SanDisk Extreme 2T SSD.

My Osmo Pocket 3 came with a 64GB SD card and my Osmo Action 4 came with a 128GB SD card. Though I have lots of space remaining on both cards, I decided I wanted to rethink how I store videos and photos.
Currently, when I fill up a card for my Canon EOS M50 DSLR or Canon VIXIA HF R700 camcorder, I put in a new one and save the old. I have a lot of archived cards for my DSLR camera and only one or two for my camcorder.
I plan on creating more video content using my new Osmo equipment, mainly 30 second short videos I can incorporate into my blog posts.
Long story- short, while at Costco on Thursday, I decided to pick up the
SanDisk Extreme 2T Go Portable SSD for $129.99 using up the remaining credit
balance I had on the Amazon Visa. This,
to be able to store the videos on an external drive.
I am very pleased with this purchase and like the speed so much, I am considering editing videos using the new drive and Davinci Resolve. I found a video that discusses how I am thinking this might work, and the idea seems promising. I am going to do a bit more research.
Though Amazon does not offer the exact model SanDisk Extreme 2T SSD I picked up at Costco, the specs on this SanDisk Extreme 2T Pro through Amazon are about the same, however, I think the difference may be the firmware.
