It is Friday again and one more week has passed since I have registered and started using Steemit, making it over 4 months already, so it is time for my regular weekly look back at how things have changed in numbers in the last 7 days. You can also check my previous week's status report here if you are interested to see some older numbers. After the usual statistics you can also find some more about the things that I have been doing in the last week and some more thoughts in general...

What I've Been Doing Last Week
Last week was a bit busier at work than usual, but it is to be expected at this time of the year with the upcoming holidays. Once again people got on to a crazy shopping spree for Black Friday and will continue next week for the Cyber Monday deals as well. If you are a crypto user you might also want to check some Bitcoin Black Friday Deals for Crypto Coin Users. There is some more time for you to take advantage of some nice promotions like a hardware crypto coin wallet for added security with a nice discount for example and many others.
Lately I have begun doing some recaps on some interesting and important posts that I have posted a couple of weeks and months ago on Steemit as I believe they contain useful and interesting information. Information that was already buried a bit below a lot of newer posts both from me and from many other users, but you might still find it useful and/or interesting to read. This week I continued with a Recap of Useful Steemit Posts about Fighting and Avoiding Plagiarism and Abuse on Steemit. Next week I will probably continue with some more similar posts summarizing multiple articles that are about the same topic as I have made quite a lot of Blog posts on Steemit as you can see from my stats in the beginning of this post.
My two pet Steemit projects @robotev and @crowdfundedwhale are developing more and more and getting more user support over time, there are also some changes and improvements happening all the time. Last week I have posted that I'm Looking for More Test Subjects... Curators I Mean... for the @robotev project as the activity of some curators has dropped significantly and they had to be replaced with some fresh blood. I have already found some new good curators, but if you think you may also help you are also welcome to drop me a line about willing to join as a curator.
For those of you that might be interested in Virtual Reality (VR), last week I have posted how The Whole World is Now Your Virtual Reality Playground With Google Earth VR. The popular Google Earth application from Google just got the VR treatment, it is available for free and if you have an HTC VIVE VR headset available you should most definitely give it a try and get a glimpse what interesting and useful uses VR can get.
Since I have a decent amount of knowledge about crypto currencies and crypto mining I have started writing a bit more posts about the users that are not into crypto (yet) giving some ideas and pointers as well as posting useful tips for crypto users and miners. While these posts may not always get much of attention, I still believe that the useful information that they give based on a years of my personal experience should be shared. So more of these to come in the future as well, I'm also helping some users with mining on the Steemit Chat, so you can also find me there if you have questions. One of my latest posts about the non-crypto crowd is regarding the possibility to buy a high-end gaming laptop and have it mine for you while are not using it and thus getting some of the money you paid for it back without that much effort on your side.
I have been following the development of the Golos project, a Russian-centered community based on Steem/Steemit under a license from Steemit Inc. I have not been that active on the Golos platform as much as I'm on Steemit, partly because my Russian is not that good and partly because of lack of free time (you can still post in English there). However I've been keeping an eye on the development and I have joined the crowdsale and if you are interested there is still some time to get in as well with the Golos Tokens Crowdsale is Nearing Its End, 10 More Days Left.
You have probably noticed that I like to do some product reviews on Steemit, this is actually something that I also do for a living at work, though not in English. My product reviews on Steemit are usually about things that I like and use, have used or plan to use in the future and I try to be detailed and objective. Sometimes I may get a bit too technical, but I like to dig deep into things, so you will have to forgive if things like these are not very interesting for you. The latest review I did was of a LED Video light system that I've been using for some time, though I probably need to upgrade it... Playing Around With a Yongnuo LED Video light YN 160.
You can expect more reviews in the future as well, most of though these usually take quite some time to get to know the product well, get some experience using it and then be able to objectively judge it, so don't expect too often these long and detailed posts as they take up a lot of time before even starting to write about the products. I already do have some in the works, so stay tuned, ideally I would love to be able to pay for some of the products I review with what I earn from Steemit, but unfortunately that is currently hardly possible... if you like them you can help by giving your support for these posts.
