It’s been a good week, ending with my beginning a trip to Maine for the Christmas holiday. Slowly, I’m becoming more comfortable with microblogging, so it will be fun to see how this space evolves — fun for me, hopefully for you too? Anyway, enjoy, and merry Christmas.


Checked in at Sonic Drive-In. Try their Garlic Butter burger, you are missing out. Definitely not on my diet, but sometimes, it's good to walk on the wild side. :)

CURRENTLY listening to AppleVis Podcast: Personalized Emojis Made Easy: GenMoji on iOS Explained I'd like to say that GenMoji are something I will never ever use, but every time I say such a thing, I wind up totally using it. The thing I find kind of intriguing about this though is the idea that I, as a totally blind person, can use AI to create images. Oh I know, this ability to create images with AI isn't new, but I still find it fascinating. Also, this is another example of how AI can be integrated into things we already do, such as messaging.

We are having our first significant snow fall. Everything always sounds so different in the snow, more muffled and some might even say more peaceful. I tried to capture that in binaural audio. I wasn't able to capture that as I'd hoped, but there's still something special about the first real snow fall, especially when the snow is light, fluffy, and pure. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little walk around in the fresh snow with me.

I'm flying Delta tomorrow and so when I saw an article entitled, "Delta Air Lines to bring Shake Shack burgers to first class," I got really excited. Of course I'm not actually flying first class, but if you've ever had a Shake Shack burger, you can probably understand the excitement. And if you haven't had one, well, now you have another way to get one? I wonder if this will be a one-off thing, or if Delta and other airlines will be incorporating more foods from name brand restaurants on their flights.

I've come across some weird names for colors, but "heartbreaker rose"? That's definitely a new one. And yet apparently heartbreaker rose is a thing, at least where Logitech is concerned: www.target.com/p/logitec...

Checked in at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). On my way to Maine for the Christmas holiday. I'm very excited about this. :)

Wow, when I saw the following linked article, I couldn't help but wonder, why wasn't this an important topic for the Presidential debates? :) > The Guinness shortage is real – here’s how Diageo is racing to solve it - The Times of London

Checked in at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). When there's turbulence, there's always someone who says, "weeeee" as if we're on the best ride ever. That guy sat two rows ahead of me. :)

Checked in at Duckfat. Amazing food, I have no idea how I'll work off all the calories though.
