Hey #Apple, instead of slapping a new coat of paint on the UI, how about giving us feature parity in photos on the different OSes? www.podfeet.com/blog/2025/05...

That's more green than I get to see in a whole year.

@adamengst.bsky.social of TidBITS joins me to talk about using text fragments on web pages to do deep linking, and a recent survey he conducted on VPN usage. www.podfeet.com/blog/2025/05... #VPN #DeepLinking

This phone case solves a real-world problem for those with low vision. It's priced very well (not a huge "blind tax"), and it's not all that bulky. #a11y

When I was asked on Clockwise what I wanted from WWDC 2025, I realized they asked me that a year ago about WWDC 2024, and my notes showed that mostly nothing has changed. www.podfeet.com/blog/2025/05... #WWDC25

You can wait till Sunday if you want but NosillaCast #1045 is out! You'll hear from me talking about my fancy new travelogue page, and from @bartb.ie talking about "nym" words, along with two interviews from CSUN, hand-crafted for you by @spsheridan.bsky.social www.podfeet.com/blog/2025/05...

It’s been a while brewing, but I had great fun writing and recording this segment for @podfeet.bsky.social on the NosillaCast. It gave me a little hint of just how hard it is to produce the language podcasts I love 🙂 overcast.fm/+ABJFaIyfCZg...

I thought they'd arrived late, but @podfeet.bsky.social let me know that they actually arrived EXACTLY on the 20 year aniversary, so let's pretend I intentionally planned it that way 🙂 Want your own and to support Allison's great work? Pop over to https://Podfeet.com/shop

Getting my TDaP vaccine today because I understand science and also becuase RFK Jr. doesn't.

I'm not kidding, I got chills during this interview. Connecting veterans and first responders to engineering students to design solutions for them is amazing.

This month's featured tag on https://Glass.photo is "bokeh" so I've been on the hunt for backgrounds that will look cool thrown out of focus. This sea of Dandelion seed heads along the #RoyalCanal towpath west of #Maynooth is my favourite so far! #bloomscrolling

Glenn was so cool - he did the entire interview TWICE (just learning a new camera and the first one was accidentally deleted). Oh, and if you work in a big company, this is a pretty useful service.

I was on the Daily Tech News Show on Thursday w Sarah Lane, Robb Dunewood, and Amos. They let me talk about my 20 years of podcasting! The whole show is great, but that part starts 26 min in if you want to jump ahead. dailytechnewsshow.com/2025/05/08/c... #20YearsOfPodcasting

This is Boksil. She wanted to let you to know that she is free to hang out right now if you are. In case you were wondering. 12/10

The video that plays while I’m doing this interview is EPIC. It shows the OnlyCat stopping cats from coming into the house with all kinds of captured critters! It’s a MUST watch.
