Minnesota Nerd is back in business and ready to serve! If you've got old VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, or other old media you want digitized, send me a message! Happy to work through the mail too for anyone in the United States, and there's plenty of time to get it done before Christmas.

If you live in the Seymour, Indiana area and need help with your computer or any other piece of technology I can help with that too. Tell your friends!

When I moved in May from Rochester, MN to Seymour, IN I thought I would put this business on pause for a month or two to get settled in. Instead, a month or two turned into six, but I'm finally working on getting ready to officially relaunch this business! I'll be updating my website, listing on Google, page, etc. over the next few days, but I'm really looking forward to getting back out there and starting to solve people's technology problems here in Seymour!

My business is still mostly paused as I continue to get settled in here in Seymour. Hoping to really get back to it soon. In the meantime, I’ve been playing around with another new tool. Along with previously offered services of digitizing old VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, and cassette tapes, I’ll now be able to digitize 8mm film reels. I’ve been loving seeing my family member’s old films, some over 60 years old, and can’t wait to help others relive their own precious memories!

Admittedly I’ve bought some “smart” devices that were overkill myself. But some of these things are a bit excessive! Even as a tech nerd I can admit that. What’s the most unnecessary smart/wifi connected device you’ve seen?

Not the type of “tech” content I usually share but thought this was some good advice!

If you dial 911 by mistake, or if a child in your home dials 911 when no emergency exists, do not hang up – that could make 911 officials think that an emergency exists, and possibly send responders to your location. Instead, simply explain to the call-taker what happened.

It's also worth noting that it's often not necessary to save 911 in your contacts list on your phone. You will not forget the number and accidental 911 calls are more likely if you have it saved as a contact.

I don't often participate in social media trends, but this one was kind of fun!

I'm a little bit disturbed though, by how much I look like Bobby from King of the Hill here
