  • As recalls go, this one is more than just a little terrifying. Igloo recalls more than 1 million coolers over concerns about fingertip amputation

  • The more I play around with it, the more I see the appeal of @castropodcasts@mastodon.social . Being able to triage episodes seems like such a simple concept, but it’s one that I don’t think is doable with any other podcatcher.

  • Checked in at HealthPartners Corporate Building. Back at it again. Just doing the work thing. Being a partnfor for good. :)

  • One of the most frustrating things about podcasts is that it’s really hard to share an episode such that someone else can play it in their podcatcher of choice. If I use Apple’s Podcasts and share a link, it shares the link to the episode on Apple where as if I share that same episode from Overcast, it shares an Overcast link. In both cases, the link to the original podcast is not shared making it hard for someone, say using PocketCast, to be able to listen to that episode. So I wonder, how are others sharing episodes that they think might be of int’erest to others: do you just assume everyone is using the same podcatcher or player as you, or is there some other trick that maybe I don’t know which will allow others to hear the episode in whatever it is they happen to be using?

  • Just tried using WhatsApp via their web interface. Definitely not the best experience, really really hope we see WhatsApp for iPad eventually.

  • Checked in at Skateville Family Rollerskating Center. Here for a 10-year-old’s birthday party. Also, had no idea rollerskating is still a thing. #SaveMe :)

  • So often release notes are dry and uninformative, but the notes from Slack, 25.02.11 really made me smile.

    Bug Fixes • A little reminder as you go about your day: The world is a more unique place simply because you’re a part of it, and you’ve affected others in ways you can’t imagine. Oh, and no big changes to the app this time. Happy messaging!

  • Just got pizza delivered and the delivery guy came back right after I thought he’d left. I thought he’d forgotten something, but no, he had just found an Amazon package in the yard and thought he would bring it to the door. It’s so good having confirmations like this that there are still kind people in the world.

  • Checked in at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). Back in Minneapolis, or as the flight attendant called it, “Minnianapolis,” safe and sound. :)

  • Checked in at The Club MDW. Glad I’ve finally gotten to check this place out.

  • Checked in at Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW)

  • Checked in at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Heading home from Washington Seminar. With just over 2 hours at MDW, I’ll have to find something interesting to do.

  • Checked in at Filomena Ristorante

  • Checked in at Holiday Inn Capitol. Who else is here for Washington Seminar?

  • Checked in at National Federation of the Blind (NFB)

  • Checked in at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). What a great flight, half of it was empty.

  • Checked in at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). Off to ghaltimore for a weekend of growing and learning.

  • Checked in at The Prodigal Public House

  • Checked in at The Copper Hen Cakery & Kitchen

  • Checked in at SportClips

  • Checked in at OfficeMax

  • Checked in at Best Buy

  • Oh my gosh, I just got an Email that I completed a bonus and have earned a free year of Target Circle 360™! I know it may seem like a small thing, but it’s probably my biggest win of the year so far. :)

  • Looking for an awesome and very accessible VPN provider? Check out ExpressVPN. IF you use my link I get 60 days free, but the best part is, so do you. :)

    One of the things I particularly like about ExpressVPN is that they have apps and guides which make it easy to configure on just about everything, including streaming media devices. ExpressVPN is admittedly pricier than many alternatives, but the value, at least for me, is in not having to figure out how to get things working. Anyway, I don’t generally send out referral links like this, but ExpressVPN has saved me a lot of time and headache, so I thought it might be good to make an exception.

  • I’m looking into the accessibility of Personal Knowledge management Systems, PKMs. Anyone have a favorite that they recommend? Examples would be things like DEVONthink and Notion.
