Steve told me that Spotify can make playlists for your pets with some information from you, and I had to try it out and see if any of Shmans’s favourite songs would show up on her list. They didn’t, but the playlist sounds like something that might be found on an easy listening station and …

More Ways To Get Your Food Delivered
When we decide to get food delivered, sometimes it’s sad because the place we really want to get food from isn’t on Skip the Dishes or Uber Eats and delivery options don’t seem to be around for it. Plus, we had heard about the less than friendly commissions of apps like Uber Eats and Skip …
Stuff about COVID Vaccines, And A Song Too!
I heard this song, and thought it was awesome and would give me an excuse to put up another link that I’ve wanted to post anyway. So we kinda sorta have COVID vaccines if we can keep the supply going. But there are a bunch of folks who are worried about how they came out …

New Regulations When You Fly With Your Service Dog
I just got this email a few days ago from Guide Dogs for the Blind about some new regulations to do with flying with your guide dog, whenever flying is a safe thing to consider doing again. It sounds like they’ve done most of this the right way. It could use a couple of tweaks, …

Shoo Away, 2020, Shoo Away!
I have to explain where the title came from. On one of the last days before the world ground to a halt in March, we babysat the Seppa-Tebby-Tebby nephew for a few hours. Much fun was had by all, being ponies and slops, that’s sloths, playing with toys and other random objects, eating cookies and …
What’s Up, Paul? Not Much. Just Getting COVID Tested For No Reason
I like this commercial for the most part, but it has one major flaw. If Paul has COVID but doesn’t know it, how did he end up getting tested, which gave him the code, which he entered into the app, bla bla bla? If you’re not symptomatic, you’re probably not getting a test which won’t …

Milk Is Amazingly Gross When You Can’t See What It’s Doing
Steve’s naked singing milk-drinking guy made me think of this milk commercial, and some thoughts I had about it. I’m sure what’s happening there is there is a waterfall of milk and maybe a cow off to the side mooing. But that is not the image that the sound conjured up for me, who couldn’t …

Another Large Entry in the Shmans Chronicles
It’s time for another Shmans update, complete with new songs she likes sprinkled throughout. I’ve accumulated a surprising amount of stuff even though we haven’t been exactly leading an exciting life. She is definitely enjoying all this chill time. Now that we’re not going out nearly as much as we used to, she is enjoying …

Wherever I Go, I’ve Got Beams In My Ears
I read about the idea of Sound Beaming technology and I couldn’t decide what my predominant initial reaction was. I had two extreme reactions: one of thinking this was the most awesome thing ever and one of the shivers. Imagine a world where you move around in your own personal sound bubble. You listen to …
Help Earl And Kelly Harrison
I just saw this and wanted to link to it. I used to listen to Earl Harrison review technology on ACB Radio’s Main Menu years ago. I also ran into him at a GDB convention once. I was on a mailing list with his wife some time ago. Now I just read that he is …
