  • Checked in at Acadia Ballroom

  • Checked in at Acadia Ballroom

  • Checked in at New Orleans Marriott

  • Checked in at Pat O’Brien’s. After the week I’ve had, this is the perfect place to be.

  • Checked in at Sheraton New Orleans Hotel. Here at the #NFB25 exhibit hall, Minnesota table a34. If you’re here, stop on by and say hi. :)

  • Checked in at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). We are here. Sadly, our bags are not. :(

  • Checked in at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). Here in Austin unexpectedly for a few hours, wondering when we will go onward to Neworleans.

  • Checked in at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). On my way to #NFB26, looking forward to a week of awesome.

  • I’m traveling tomorrow and cannot find my meta glasses which I was really hoping to bring with me. While looking for them though, I did find an old harmonica. People at the airport are gonna love me, especially during my four-hour layover in St. Louis. 🙂

  • Checked in at 225 Deluxe Rosedale Mall. Here for Jenn’s first craft fair.

  • Checked in at Target Field for Minnesota Twins vs Seattle Mariners: Military Discount. Twins vs Mariners game. Great evening for it.

  • I’m looking into IP Telephone services like magicJack and Ooma, anyone use either of them or something else that I should maybe consider?

  • Checked in at Grace-Trinity Community Church. Here for a joint board meeting … and some great food. :)

  • Not sure what changed, but when I navigate pull-down menus with VoiceOver, it seems to now launch things whether I want it to or not. For example, context menu on a link launches the link before I can even get to the option to copy it. In Safari, if I open up my history list, the history table page thing automatically pops up before I can navigate the menu. This also means I can use almost nothing in my status menu bar as the first option seems to automatically activate. Anyone know of a setting i might have changed, or is VoiceOver just on a mission to make my life miserable?

  • Checked in at The Home Depot. Cousin’s Maine Lobster is here today, wonderful to have a little taste of Maine.

  • Apparently we’ve been under a tornado watch, but because I get so many notifications, I totally missed it. That’s the problem with notifications: with every app notifying about everything, none of the notifications are really important any more.

  • Just made a cup of coffee, but forgot to put the cup under the spout. You’d think I’d learn from this and move on, but no, after cleaning up the mess, I did the exact same thing again. The day can only get better, right?

  • I’ve been playing with something called MyMind, a service that supposedly auto-categorizes anything you throw at it, be it an image, a link to bookmark, product page, Reddit post, note, or anything else. The idea is that you send whatever it is to MyMind without worrying about how it should be categorized and let the AI do its categorization magic, knowing that later, you can retrieve it without trying to remember where you might have saved it in the first place. I find the concept rather intriguing, as I have a bunch of bookmarks that have become disorganized mess, and additional content I’ve saved somewhere knowing I’d need it again, but I have no idea where I might have saved it, likely somewhere that made sense at the time. Unfortunately, there seem to be some accessibility issues with the service and so I definitely need to explore this a bit more. If you’re using MyMind though, I’d love to talk to you about how you’re using it. If you’re using a similar service, I’d love to learn more about that too.

  • Oh boy, I have a new student loan servicer. How exciting is that? According to this Email that I only half understand because I don’t possess a doctorate in accounting, they are pleased to be my new servicer. I’m willing to bet they are more pleased than I am about this.

  • Checked in at Nicollet Island Pavilion. Here for YNAB Fest, so excited to be here.
