Bellingham Podcast

Get your motor running, and head out on the highway! We're talking about technology and whatever comes our way. In this case, as AJ gets back from Kansas a coffee oasis, and tech that caught our eye.
* Android auto vs Apple CarPlay
* Android phone hardware make it lag
* Ok Google actually pretty useful
* Maps. Ya know it feels dated to me but has better data and calling out directions.
* Apple where the hell is the app support! -No Google Maps with CarPlay
* Maps rock shows even speed limits
* Better ui idea
* Coffee oasis (because there isn’t a coffee house on each corner out here)
* Reverie Coffee roasters. You are the goods. Vibe: think StumpTown kind of
* Il Primo (just rocks literally vintage screams and Linkin Park yo! )- uses the competition’s beans (Spice Merchant) Vibe: think Black Drop.. kind of

Public Service Announcement to Everyone using their mobile phones in public -
A Primer for Technology Etiquette
* If you are at a restaurant or a coffee shop with someone, and simply must have your phone on the table, show the person you’re with that you actually have a slight bit of interest in being with them. Set your phone to vibrate and face down on the table.
* If you are talking on your mobile phone while the checkout clerk is ringing up your food items at the grocery store, you are automatically despised by the aforementioned clerk, as well as everyone else in line behind you.
* If you choose to take a call in a public place, and slouch down lower in your chair to “have a more private” conversation, your efforts will be futile; we can still hear your conversation, because we’re still two. feet. away. from. you. Get up and move to a place where people can’t hear you.
* The longer it takes you to swipe through the thousands of photos on your mobile phone to find the picture you want to show us, the less we are interested in seeing this photo.
* If you decide to take a selfie in public and make a pouty fish-face with your lips, or flip your hair around and strike that pose you’ve seen from those beautiful people you follow on Instagram, you waive your right to not be gawked at or laughed at by everyone around you. Zoolander called, he wants his “ridiculously good looking” photo poses back.

Topics
Chris' - Counting Change

Your total is $12.22. You give the clerk a $20 bill. The clerk looks at the change due on the digital register screen, and says like a parrot, “Seven dollars and 78 cents is your change.”

It USED to be, at least when I was in a job that required me to give change back to customers, that I would count the money back to them. The customer owes $12.22, they give me a $20 bill, and I hand them their change, then dollars, saying, “78 cents makes thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and Twenty.” *sigh*

Purpose Built History: MN Strap

Monochrome has an article on the back history: https://monochrome-watches.com/strap-review-cool-marine-nationale-strap-erikasoriginals-perfect-dive-watches/

* “ The relation between French Navy “Marine Nationale” *[ and the 'nageur de combat” - special forces?) *and Tudor can be traced down to the late 1950s.”
* “...when delivering the French Navy, Tudor was sending only “heads” and not entire watches, so without the strap. Frogmen and members of the Marine Nationale usually found their own way to create straps...”
* “In the 1960's the parachute elastics had a red centerline, in the 1970's they had a yellow centerline”
* “...be aware that the Snowflake hands were a specific request of the French navy, for an improved legibility. Finally came the blue snowflake dial Tudor Marine Nationale, with blue dial and bezel – ref. 9401 and 94010.”
* Tudor's own history page regarding the MN Snowflake https://www.tudorwatch.com/magazine/article/tudor-history-submariners-military-watches
* “Marine nationale divers were known to have used parachute belts to make watch straps...The elasticity of this material made the watch comfortable to wear and allowed easy adjustment over a diving suit.”

* ENTER **Marine Nationale Strap** (Erika's Origional MN™strap)
* Vintage MN™Straps € 60,- (redline)
* (€ 75,- with Black DLC coated hardware • € 85,- with solid Bronze hardware).
* Original MN™Straps € 50,-
* (€ 65,- with Black DLC coated hardware • € 75,- with solid Bronze hardware).
* https://www.erikasoriginals.com/history-of-the-mn-strap.html
* **The Marine Nationale**
* “The French navy - the Marine Nationale - has been long known for the outstanding watches they issued to their combat- and on board divers. Among these are divers watches from Tudor, Doxa”... etc
* **Comfort and fit **The MN™strap is made from Latex braided with Nylon. Nylon (designed as artificial silk by DuPont in the 1930's) All MN™straps are 100% hand stitched with French Linen thread.
* The tech angle: “A picture of the Doxa with the prototype of the strap ended up on Instagram and immediately afterwards I received requests from New York, Paris, Stockholm and Singapore.”
* **NOS webbing **Erika has contacts with the TAP, French Airforce, and gets her hands on rolls of new old stock Marine Nationale parachute braid in 21 and, very rare, 22mm “Never used but stored for over 40 years.”

AJ:
A little PNW trivia:

* Eddie Bauer was a real person (http://www.eddiebauer.com/company-info/company-info-our-founder.jsp).
* Born and raised in the state of Washington, he was a husband, a father, a businessman, an innovator and a true outdoorsman. Eddie Bauer was born on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington (1899).
* 1920- Brand was founded.
* 1936- He created the "Skyliner," the first quilted goose down jacket in North America, a design he would patent in 1940 thus... kind of sinching the status of the guy who invented the puffy jacket.
* 1942 He began producing garments and sleeping bags in support of the war effort. In the middle of the military garment label sewn into each of these products were the words, "Eddie Bauer Seattle U.S.A." At the end of the war, soldiers from all over the country wrote to him based on that label. "Where can I get more of that down stuff? You saved my life!"
* And in 1945 He published the company's first catalog, "Eddie Bauer Alaska Outfitter," selling garments and sleeping bags insulated with goose down.
* Eddie Bauer died at the age of 86 on April 18 1986


AJ's Picks:

* Eddie Bauer - MEN'S MICROTHERM STORMDOWN VEST “First Accent” http://www.eddiebauer.com/product/mens-microtherm-stormdown-vest/38832205?showProducts=111&sizetype=&size=
* PNW Flannel - usually acquired every few years visiting a Eddie Bauer outlet
* For the rain atop that Eddie Bauer vest: a blue REI Elements (discontinued unfortunately) https://www.rei.com/
* REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.- founded 1938; Lloyd and Mary Anderson founded **REI** in Seattle, Washington, in 1938. The Andersons imported an Akadem Pickel ice axe from Austria for themselves and decided to set up a co-operative to help outdoor enthusiasts acquire good quality climbing gear at reasonable prices.

PSAs, not PDAs in Tech -

Five rules for dealing with computer techs (https://medium.com/@mnmltek/five-rules-for-dealing-with-computer-techs-4d8af81a1d78):

* If a computer tech is working on your equipment for free, food and drink is a mandatory payment.
* Just because you see your tech around town doesn’t mean you can automatically ask them a question about your computer problems.
* Don’t expect your old equipment to be able to run the latest and greatest software.
* When a computer tech tells you a potential solution to your computer problem, do not say, “No I don’t think that’s it.”
* Do not antagonize, tease, or talk down to a computer tech.

Shopping - Avoid the late-November rush

Tech Addiction:

It is interesting to see a subset of people, mostly close to tech, gravitating towards the days of the iPhone 1. The days before apps.

AJ's view: really likes the principle behind Monohm- would like to see tech change towards a more natural (look and manufacturing materials) and ability to repair or upgrade by modules (see PhoneBlocks (https://phonebloks.com/) and ARA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara) project reference) or the Fairphone (https://shop.fairphone.com/en/)

On this episode: AJ and I are seeing RED as the leaves are turning ORANGE and YELLOW. The GREEN grass is getting wet from all the rain which is giving us the BLUES. If you're feeling down about the fall season, stay tuned for some colorful conversation! Let's get the party started. This is the Bellingham Podcast...

Topic - How do you beat the PNW fall-blues...as the leaves turn orange...and die

Chris I drive. Hannegan Road to Lynden. Lake Whatcom Boulevard to Alger. Chuckanut Drive to Burlington. Mini-road trips with quiet music to stare at a different screen. My vehicle's windshield! I also do a fall possession purge. Clothes I haven't worn for a while, unnecessary tech cables, accumulated books and magazines. All donated or eliminated from my home.

Topic - 24-Hour Staycation
Chris AM visits to Rustic Coffee in Fairhaven, Rocket Donuts on Holly Street, and Caffe Adagio on Railroad Avenue (not in that order.) PM visits to Village Books, a Taylor Dock walk to Boulevard Park, and the Filling Station. All in Fairhaven. Highlight of the evening is a big bowl of Pho at Soy House on Holly Street and a movie at the Pickford Cinema. Maybe a Thai Basil Daiquiri No.2 and an everything plate at the Temple Bar to bring the day in for a landing.

AJ is still in his remodel- and has a we-one so his 24hr staycation is a bit shorter

Unscripted Insights
Chris : The UN calls AJ- who would he fly to and to a once in a life time photoshoot with?

AJ : Face your fear- what would it be and what would it take?

Recorded LIVE on the streets of Bham, at Camber Coffee http://cambercoffee.com/
On this episode, we are talking about alternatives to the mainstream operating systems and...this comes out of a recent rant AJ had with a few folks

“If you don't like something- don't buy it! Companies owe you NOTHING *unless you are a shareholder*” Just in time for school to start up! Forget Hi I'm a Mac, Hi I'm a PC- what about the other offerings in OS out there.

Canonical Ubuntu:

* Other distros based off this (and Dabian) that gives different looks and functions
* Ubuntu “Certified” hardware- turn key approach https://certification.ubuntu.com/desktop/


Elementary OS; https://elementary.io/
Endless OS; https://endlessos.com/home/

* Made for developing countires but also has hardware: https://endlessos.com/our-computers/


Chrome OS; for those who don't mind Google and have web-based needs (https://www.computerworld.com/article/2893364/chrome-os/is-chrome-os-right-for-you.html)

Tech That Caught our eye

How about NOT the new iPhone (https://www.apple.com/iphone/). If you like it - great. If you don't- great. Does it really matter- nope.

* Only thing to note out of the whole announcements; Apple now has 8 iPhones to choose from. SE, 6, 6+, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X. So, to everyone on the internet...stop hating on something you don't have buy if you don't want to.
