We’ve got our usual gadget hounds Sorg, Chilla, and Katie on for AwesomeCast 341. We also have a special guest in studio. Andy Quayle of Tubu Internet Solutions joins us to talk about what he’s been up to, and some fun things in tech. This week we’re talking about awesome things in technology, including:
Katie is saying screw traffic this week with her Awesome Thing of the Week the Hum Rider.
Chilla and his dongles. Want to charge your phone and play audio? He’s telling us how.
Of course we expect Andy to have an Awesome Thing of the Week – he’s sharing some thoughts on the Echo.
Sorg is still having fun with his Raspberry Pi and Retro Pie.
Katie is excited that Kennywood has a comicon coming up!
Chilla (and Amanda) are giving us our App of the Week this week – Apple Clips.
Dear developers – if you give us apps that make our lives easier, we will use them.
(Are we getting Final Cut on an iPad? fingers crossed)
Brandon shared a bunch of content this week. Nintendo Switch may be supporting cloud save options.
Chilla is letting us in on the quiet release by Apple – including a new iPad…
New Apple Watch bands have been announced!
O’Reilly Auto Parts gets geeks (and marketing). Go to their site and enter “121G” in the parts search. (Via Amanda)
Who’s played with Alexa on their phones? We’re having some fun.
Alexa places the largest, most expensive items when you tell her to get you things.
Speaking of Alexa – you can also order alcohol…to be delivered within 2 hours with Prime Now.
Katie can now learn to play the ukulele thanks to Indie Go Go.
