Maybe an Inexpensive NUC is All the Computer You Need – by George from Tulsa

Hi, this is George from Tulsa here to ask how much computer do you need? Or, phrased differently, how much will the computer you need cost? In terms of cost, it can be surprisingly little. All my work and personal computing needs are within the capabilities of my seriously obsolete 2007 MacBook Pro. Then, I […]

Have you ever thought, “gee whiz, I really wish I could talk to my light switch…”? Well, you’re in luck, smart thermostat maker ecobee just released a Wi-Fi smart switch with Amazon’s Alexa onboard called the Switch Plus!

Free, Yet Powerful Vector-Design Program for iOS in Vectornator Pro

Update from 2023 – Vectornator has been rebranded as Linearity Curve and is available now at https://www.linearity.io/curve/ You have probably figured out by now that I’m not an artist. That doesn’t keep me from being interested in applications to create art and to appreciate those who use them well. I used to think all digital […]

Explore Bike Share Made it Impossible to Actually Rent an Electric Bike

I’d like to start this particular review by saying that the customer support representative who refunded all of our money was awesome. That might give you an indication of how Steve and I feel about the Explore Bike Share service. We were in Memphis for the weekend and had walked a fair bit of the […]

Design Your Own with Electric Quilt – by Sandy Foster

Hi, I’m Sandy and I’m a quilter. Okay, now that I have that out of the way, what does that have to do with a tech podcast like this one? Other than the fact that many sewing machines these days are computerized (yay!), there are many applications that make designing quilts so much easier than […]

Tiny Tip – How to Get the App Switcher Back to the Correct Display on macOS

This might be the tiniest tip ever posted on Podfeet.com. If you have external monitors hooked up to your Mac, it’s really awesome. Most of the time. Sometimes it gets confused. You probably know that in System Preferences, you can identify which display is the main monitor, meaning that’s where apps first open and such. […]

CCATP #548 – Lupita Salazar on Braille Literacy and Tech

Lupita Salazar talks to us about how she learned to read at 6 years old (just like everyone else) through Braille. She was highly influenced by my awesome friend Lore Schindler, who taught Tech and Braille to her and the other students in the Los Angeles Unified School District. He explains why Braille is so […]
