Neo-Socialism

The formal definition of neosocialism from the 1930s has some rather unsavory pieces.  However, we're in 2016.  If people can redefine things, I figure I can to.

Neo meaning new.

Socialist meaning socialist.

I've noticed this new trend of socialists.  They were brought up in a capitalist economy and want it to change.  these people seem to think that things and times are horrible.  If you listened to them and Bernie Sanders, you'd think we were living under the thumb of bankster gangsters.  Puhlease.  These people need a reality check.  In a capitalistic economy, if you come up with a better idea, you have the opportunity to grow, start a business, and change your situation dramatically.  Anyway, these people that grew in capitalism and now think that socialism would be so cool, I refer to them as neosocialists.

Slim down your Pictures in the iPhone & Android


Nothing can be as helpful as a picture. Text is great, but there is a reason why pictures are worth a thousand words. Unfortunately, as the cameras of devices have gotten better, the amount of space that pictures take up has gotten larger. With a late-2015/early-2016 phone, a picture can easily be 2MB. Start trying to upload those via e-mail or to a service (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), and there are always problems with connectivity or otherwise. Let's examine some simple routines to minimize the size of an image.
