Buonasera, neighbors, I've been spending a lot of time in the woods and on farms in the past several years, and, well, it's been a looong time since I've made any big tech purchases. My life is shifting a bit these days, and I sure would appreciate some advice on these three items: 1. Additional monitor I can hook up to my macbook, for when I'm doing digital design + writing side by side at home. The monitor would live on my desk. I would occasionally use it to watch Netflix, too. Questions -- size? brand? new/used? cost? 2. AM/FM Radio / cd player/ internet radio/spotify/pandora player - What's good, simple, small... sounds nice? A friend was just visiting from Belgium and joked that boomboxes are still a thing, lol... really? I do like to occasionally listen to the actual radio... but want one that hooks up to wifi radio and plays cd's, too. Friends have suggested Alexa, but she seems a little intrusive. 3. Camera/Video Recorder - small, simple, good picture/video/sound quality. I am so privileged to attend and be a part of amazing events and activities. I'd love for the good work and amazing art of the people I love to get more publicity. I'm curious about livestreaming capabilities, and wonder if there is a phone that does all this, or if it's better to get a separate device. I always love to hear people's stories and experiences that color their advice. If you love to talk about gear... lay it on me! :) In Service and Magycke, in Divine Play, Elyssa Marie Serrilli Cultural Engineer *"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting our time.
