3D printed Tripod adaptor for Microphone.

By -

I work with multiple iPads in a classroom where Green Screen editing happens regularly.  I struggle with finding ways to attach a microphone to the iPad. My RODE mic has what is called a 'cold shoe' on the bottom of it. Which attached nicely to my iOgrapher case for iPad mini.

My problem is that I only have one iOgrapher case, and 10 iPads. I needed a way to attach the Mic to a tripod when the iOgrapher is not available.

So I came up with this, that I made in TinkerCAD. I finished it off with a few bolts and wingnuts. Depending on the size of your tripod, you might need to wrap some cardboard around the pipe that the mount connects to...




Let me know what you think!

My Mac won't load the Users & Groups preference pane: Fix

I had recently had a Mac on Lion unable to load the Users & Groups Preference Pane. 

 Like this:




My IT support had suggested reimaging the computer.  Reinstalling the Operating System, reloading the applications, and transferring back the User information from Time Machine Backup.
Well, after doing all of that, the problem reappeared immediately.  I scoured through Apple Support Communities and found this fix.  For some reason, some transparent users are showing up in your system.  They need to be deleted.  But since you cannot load Users & Groups... it becomes a problem.
Here is the solution / procedure. Quit System Preferences.   Launch Terminal.  (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)  
Copy & Paste these commands.
sudo dscl . delete /Users/Guest press enter Terminal may ask for your Administrator Password, enter that. sudo dscl . delete /Users/Guest1 press enter Terminal may ask for your Administrator Password, enter that.
Relaunch your System Preferences.  All should be back to norma…

T.H.I.N.K before you post...

Everyday, someone gets hurt by someone else's words.  We sometimes say nasty things.  Sometimes, hurtful, harmful things.  These things can really stick with someone.

I try to think... "would I say that in front of my Grandma?"  I realize that not everyone has the same Grandma.  Mine helped me learn to bake, milk cows, drive a tractor, and taught me some manners. Maybe you have someone else you have in your life like that... that you would not want to have them think any less of you.

Would my grandma be proud of what I just posted online?


Many students and teachers have accounts for many things.  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube,... the list probably is longer than my arm.  Sometimes multiple accounts, based on who might read it.


I want to make my grandma proud, every time she opens her computer and sees something I posted.  If you want to T.H.I.N.K. of a way to remember if you should post something... try this approach.
Is it True?
