March 19, 2025Episode 0071: Walking
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Cars are very convenient and very problematic, and over the years I have come to rely on not having one, choosing instead to go all in on public transit and, more than that, the up and downsides of being a pedestrian. I would say more up than down.

March 13, 2025Episode 0070: Car v Car Free
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Before I went car free and care free in 2019 or so, I was always ready to jump in whatever car I had at any given time and hit the road to wherever, usually driving for many hours to get where I was headed. Work travel probably changed my mind once and for all about all of this…

March 06, 2025Episode 0069: Bad Managers
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Some years ago I came up with a truism that may or may not work for you, it is this: “Manager and Leader, one is a title, the other a skill, why can´t I find both?” with regard to the various people I have worked for over the years. Not saying it´s easy, but maybe we are all where we are because of…

February 27, 2025Episode 0068: Newton v Pilot
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: A long time ago, the idea of a Personal Digital Assistant was novel and appealing, and so the Advanced Technology Group at Apple turned out the Newton, and it was amazing, except that it did not quite work when it came to its ambitious attempt at handwriting recognition. Along came Graffiti which had us re-learn how to draw letters, and then came the Palm Pilot to make it all work better. I worked in the Newton Group and at Palm (many years after the Pilot)…

February 19, 2025Episode 0067: Bad Coffee
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: If you have ever watched someone, or been someone, who requires a curious amount of cream or sugar or both in order to consume a cup of coffee, you must know that this is due to a complete lack of attention paid to the preparation of that coffee, and to the effort required to learn how to prepare good coffee.

February 12, 2025Episode 0066: Public Speaking
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Getting up in front of a crowd is often alleged to be in the top three activities that scare people the most. Snakes and Spiders are often in that part of the list, and there was a time when I would have agreed, but then I realized something important.

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Once upon a time I was a huge Apple Fan, eagerly waiting to get that Apple //e, hoping some day to get a Macintosh, and eventually working as a contractor in different parts of the company as I hoped to get a full time job. Looking back, and around, I am glad it never went that far…

January 23, 2025Episode 0063: Keto Adventures
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Back in 2018 I decided to try out some different dietary schemes to see if I would feel better, more healthy, have more energy, become rich and famous, and so on. I settled on the keto diet, and I discovered that that is something of a loaded term, especially getting started, because nobody seems to know what a keto diet actually is.
