  • The Minimalist Headset Solution

    I got sick and tired video conferences being delayed by audio problems. I know that a lot of times it is a problem on my end, but I think everyone has had audio problems. How did I fix it?

The purpose of this blog post is to provide links so that people can purchase the same equipment I now use.

    “I’m disappointed in the result.” said Joe Embez, “How could I be convicted of stealing from my employer when I don’t work there any more?” said Joe Embez, who’s embezzlement trial begins next week. Joe stole $5 million dollars from his employer before quitting five days later.
