  1. Officially the 2nd longest #topTechTidbits ever Issue #355 with 26 tidbits appears tomorrow.
  2. today is the 120th anniversary of the ascension, or passing, of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Baha'i Faith.
  3. @deblewis53 Happy anniversary! Didn't know how many years it has been.
  4. RT @BahaiBIC: Baha'u'llah's vision of #humanity as one people and of the earth as a common homeland is today the focus of human hope
  5. @dandrews920 It's about time!
  6. the 354to issue of top tech tidbits for Thursday is off to Larry Lewis of Flying Blind, LLC for distribution early tomorrow morning.
  7. today is also the 20th anniversary of the day I proposed to my wife.
  8. today is the anniversary of the Declaration of the Bab, the day the Baha'i Faith started. tinyurl.com/7usrugc
  9. Here is my rather fast-paced 45-minute tutorial on using Safari on the iPhone for tek Talk: tinyurl.com/7vvd6q4
  10. @RicksterTheGeek Not Deb bugt POI info is good but directions weren't helpful. If I hadn't known how to get there I wouldn't have found it.
  11. @jfayre It just appeared today; it's another gps app for orientation to the environment.
  12. @RicksterTheGeek Well, it's now later. I just bought it successfully. Haven't tried it yet; hope I didn't waste money.
  13. @fredshead You won't find such a thing; companies have no reason to make a voice info service available when masses use smartphones.
  14. @ta_weekly So far, I've been pleased with my watch from NFB. Not so with the last one from ILA. I imagine they can ship efficiently.
  15. change in plans: I'll be doing a demo of Safari for IOS on Tek Talk Monday evening stateside, Tuesday 00:00 GMT. tinyurl.com/29uhk7
  16. @lordjeff Jeff, people at Tek Talk want to talk to you about doing a show based on your android experience. How best to make contact?
  17. If you tried to get the iPhone recording and couldn't get or play it, please try again; I've re-zipped it and it works. tinyurl.com/bqao4xr
  18. recording of iPhone Marathon Training available: tinyurl.com/bqao4xr. We'll do it better next time, since there seems to be interest.
  19. @KevinChao89 I only worry about just how much streaming audio you can listen to without hitting their ill-defined ceiling.
  20. @KevinChao89 that's also the impression I glean from reading all the comments. Tempting.
