  • Checked in at Dunkin'. Got to spend some time with Leo which was very nice.

  • Checked in at Marden’s Discount Store. If this place doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it.

  • Checked in at The Friendly Toast. Francia’s favorite breakfast spot.

  • Checked in at Lost Valley Ski Area. Here for Jenn’s 30TH high school reunion. Thank goodness they’re all getting older, but not me. Lol.

  • Checked in at Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. Oh my gosh, the options here are incredible. Best sandwich place I’ve come across in in a very long time

  • Checked in at Best Buy. No matter where I might roam, Best buy is like home.

  • Checked in at Garside’s Ice Cream. Absolutely amazing homemade ice cream.

  • Checked in at Amato’s. Haven’t had this in ages.

  • Checked in at Portland International Jetport (PWM). Arrived safe and sound in Maine. :)

  • Checked in at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). Traveling to Maine.

  • Checked in at Red Cow Uptown

  • Checked in at State Services For The Blind

  • I wonder how many people I know are actively using Google Chat outside of being required to use it for work? It’s a pretty neat system and yet I don’t hear anyone talking about it, even though GMail is so prevalent.

  • Just spent about 15 very frantic minutes trying to figure out why my very full Inbox suddenly contained no messages. Did I somehow delete them? Could I restore them from a backup? What was actually in there that I meant to save somewhere and obviously didn’t? Ultimately, I discovered that I somehow enabled a filtered view such that no messages were displayed. Yep, one stupid check box and, for a few minutes, my life seemed suddenly out of control. This experience has me thinking though: Why do I have so much stuff in my inbox and do I really need most of it? And, for those messages I do need, why is it that I haven’t found the time to put them somewhere safer before now? These are the things I ponder while I wait for my heart rate to return to a more normal range.

  • Checked in at Best Buy. Exchanging my Android device as sadly, my Razr stopped working. In related news, I love Best Buy, more people should shop here.

  • Regarding the Meta Quest 3 and screen reader accessibility, my excitement may be premature: it appears to be an experimental feature. Thanks to @alexhall@mastodon.social for sending me this article which contains recent info.

  • While attending #NFB25, I learned that Meta’s Meta Quest apparently has a screen reader now. No idea how well it works or what apps support it, but the idea of having a screen reader in a VR device is really fascinating to me.

  • Checked in at Terminal 2-Humphrey

  • Checked in at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Just stopping over on our way to Minneapolis.

  • Checked in at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). It’s been a good convention, but now it’s time to go home.
