We begin with a reminder about some upcoming events. On Thursday, September 30, Lisa Salinger joins us for a discussion of the new changes and updates in iOS 15. This is our monthly free event, and is open to everyone. Just make sure you’re on our Events mailing list to get the joining info.

Beginning October 4 learn about the various ways to listen to and enjoy podcasts. This four-week class includes a live Q&A session, as well as a mailing list for interacting with other participants.

Finally, learn to create your own podcast later in October in our detailed live event. We discuss everything from coming up with your podcast topic, to hosting, recording, interviewing guests, and so much more. We’d love to have you.

Kim’s parents and some friends were recently here to bring a trailer of her stuff from NC, and that led to us cleaning out a bunch of space. Between that and unpacking lots of Kim’s stuff, we unearthed a few treasures we wanted to share with you. These include the Bop It Action game with three classic moves and ten fun new ones, including cradle it, golf it and answer it. We also found a talking pedometer, an APH Color tester (what an amazing find), and a really cool Cobolt talking clock, all of which we demo here. We also found a Fingerlings giraffe, a neat little interactive toy, and a Bluetooth speaker from Music Angel, which sadly appears to be unavailable now. We hope you enjoy our explorations.

We also take a little detour part way through to talk about our trip to Niagara Falls, and share some nice audio Chris recorded of the water.

Thanks, as always, for listening.
