Hi, this is Jill from the Northwoods. I told you recently how I was using AI to help me make podcasts show notes better. Again, I’m not using it to write my content. I really want to do that myself. But instead, I was using AI to get good show notes and get some good […]

Back in 2009, Steve and I hosted a party for the NosillaCastaways during Macworld at a local bar. It was a great success, and everyone had a great time. The following year, we did it again but something awful happened. Someone who publishes a list of parties during Macworld included our party and we had […]

Will the PETLIBRO Smart Cat Feeder Keep My Cat from Overeating?
Ruben-esque Ada with Trim Grace You may have noticed that Steve and I spend a fair bit of time away from home. Tesla requires a great deal of playtime and attention, so she either goes to doggie camp, or if it’s a longer trip she either goes to Camp Nancy (a very dear friend of […]

My adult children think I’m an anachronism. I write paper checks to pay my utility bills. I have an iPhone, but it is an old-ish iPhone XR (ten-R?) and I don’t even use half of my 3GB data allotment. I don’t do social media, other than to sign into Discord on Sunday nights to check […]

Anker PowerConf S3 Speakerphone Hi, this is Jill from the Northwoods. As I mentioned before, I just got a new job and I decided to get myself a present. I got the Anker PowerConf S3 speakerphone. The reason I did this is that during the pandemic, I’ve been on Zoom calls all day long. […]

Did You Know There’s a Newsletter called the Podfeet Press?
