Heads Up! ... Don't Spin your Wheels in a Knack App

In this video I list four things that I spent some time trying to figure out, and realized they are what they are. None too big of a deal, but I'm listing these so you don't have to spend your time saying, "What's going on here?". I sort of keep a running list of these types of things ...Not sure if I'll do a series on this topic, or if this one is it.
