Dan, Bluetooth Tutor


Yes, Virginia, it does get cold in Florida. My son, Dan, the dock master and Dan of all trades, plus he is an artist also. One month from today, he will be  51 on Feb. 22 this year.

He sent me the above photo yesterday and I asked if he took it with phone or tablet and why his selfies are better than mine. . His answer was I take selfies with my flip phone and Bluetooth it to my tablet to upload to FB or Messenger.
He doesn't have a smart phone, but he is so smart. I have had a smartphone and tablet for years and had no idea I had Bluetooth on either one.

I checked phone/tablet and There It Was on both devices. I can figure out how to use things but first someone has to tell me it is there.

I just this minute blue toothed a photo from my phone to my tablet. Thanks Daniel.

Personally I think his selfies are better because at 6'4" his arms are at least a foot longer than mine, PLUS I am 22 years older than he is.... Just sayin
Several bloggers asked if Dan wears colored contacts. No, he wears clear contacts, but the blue is true blue.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm about the same age as Dan (5 years older) but I still have had to get lessons from my kids on how to work things.
Not sure about your phone but with your tablet, your pictures should all be going to google photos.
Every picture I take on my phone or tablet automaticly go right there.

Blue tooth is way beyond my arm's length too. If any body can figure it out it will be you.

Dan's eyes are gorgeous and good grief he is TALL!!

Hi Sandra! Oh Dan does have beautiful eyes! Lately my photos are mostly blurry, or I need new glasses! Lol

Sorry to say, bluetooth isn't what makes his selfies better--- he's just photogenically handsome. And . . . the long arms help. The RG calls me 'short arms' and it does show in my selfies.
I use bluetooth to play my iPhone radio on a stationary speaker as I move around the house.

Sandra, your son does take great selfies. I delete more selfies than I keep.
I have to say I have never used the Bluetooth. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!

Even though I have Bluetooth, my equips don't talk to each other, so the point is moot!!! But then, they are all nearly as old as Dan too... YAM xx

Hello Sandra!:) I am hopeless at knowing these things. Have just this minute found out that I have Bluetooth too!!! Very good photo of your handsome blue eyed, and savvy son. I have to ask mine about technical skills, but hardly stray from what I already know. You are much more adventurous than I.

Handsome son and happy birthday in February. Glad you are checking each others selfies!

Lois said...

Your son is very handsome and yes I think arm length has a lot to do with how good a selfie is! I don't do selfies myself because I hate how I look in photos.

Karen said...

He does take great selfies and he is handsome also. One of my sons, Caleb, had very blue eyes, and the other 3 kids have brown eyes like me.

McDreamy Blue Eyes! Yes, I had been wondering if he wears contacts. Did his dad have blue eyes like this? I saw your bluetooth posts on Facebook, and just shook my head in wonder.I have to have someone show me how to do things. Maybe you watched a tutorial on Youtube? Or Googled it? Bluetooth and The Cloud are both shrouded in mystery for me. I DO take selfies and e-mail them to my computer, and I take tablet pictures and e-mail them to my computer. And it feels like a miracle for me to even be able to do that.

Blue Tooth is a foreign word to me..I'm not even sure what it is or does.
I think my son thinks I am hopeless...I learn it one minute and FORGET the next.
I like Ginny's title that she gave your son...McDreamy....He truly has dreamy eyes.
Glad it is warming up in your neck of the woods. It's gray and dribbly here today. Its noon and I have to have the light on.
Finally got down a few pounds...now to see if I can keep it off. Goal is to be down 5 before I go to Mexico Mission Trip March 18th. Please pray that I can do it. These last few have been so hard to achieve.

Thanks for the support Sandra...It is a struggle but WE CAN DO IT !!!

Like you, Sandra, I get a bit lost or confused about some of the current technology. Your son does well at selfies especially considering he doesn't use a smartphone! We enjoy taking selfies when we travel (and even when not traveling) and Grenville's longer arm reach does help!

Well, well, well! I think I've Bluetooth on my Android and Amazon Fire but had no sure-fire idea what it is, exactly.

You're going to be a trail-blazer for the rest of us, I can see it now! Thanks, Dan!
