‘Tis a glorious day, my friends! For no matter the hail and rainy weather we doth suffer in the metroplex of Dallas and Forth Worth, today I have been liberated from the need to use my Yahoo! login for Flickr. A glorious day indeed!
Year: 2019
There’s a new episode of The Empowered Parent Podcast out, and we’re talking about ways to incorporate play into every day.
There needs to be a way to tell one’s Apple Watch that today is a sick day, and the only standing and movement will be that which gets one from the bed to the bathroom and back again. #FirstWorldProblems
I have myriad thoughts on the new Star Wars trailer and what it means for the movie. We definitely need to record a new @bigfatgeekpod episode.
Happy to have this in my hands, @TheBrometheus! Now to finish two other books and slot it into my reading queue.
Reading an ARC of @steven_kotler’s Last Tango in Cyberspace, and love, love, LOVE the quick shout-outs to two classic science fiction franchises in the early going.
Last night, a new piece of kit for Empowered Parent podcasting…

This is a great mashup.
Google Photos is no more for me. I deleted all the photos in that account, then cancelled my Google One subscription. I removed the app from my iOS devices.
I’m not totally killing my Google account and Gmail address, however, as much as I might want to. There is still stuff with Docs and Drive for podcasting collaboration I need to maintain an account for. I do have to think about others in that particular situation. But the Gmail app is coming off devices, too.
I believe this means the only Google apps I’m left with are Translate and Waze. I’m sure I could find a replacement for the former, but no other app gives me what I need for dealing with Dallas/Fort Worth traffic like Waze does. I’d like to be Google-free, but it’s just not in the cards as things currently stand. I’ll settle for now with this being the best I can do.
Shazam! is really awesome, a fun movie, and has a really good pro-foster care family vibe on top of it.
