Single Bagger Theory
I was a very proud grocery store employee for 5 years back in the 80’s. I started as a bagger. They actually trained us the right way to “pack” groceries back then.
If the stores still train in this, it’s obvious the workers just don’t care (nor do the managers). I prefer to bag my own order.

If you have a car this probably isn’t an issue for you, but for those of us on the East Coast who have to walk home from the grocery store every day carrying our meal bags of sustenance, unba…

We’re About To Be Living In A Drone-Filled World
Megan Rose Dickey, businessinsider.comTech/Media
When we hear about drones, some of us tend to think about war, destruction, lost lives, and other horrible things.
But there are several other use cases for these unmanned aerial vehicles that have nothing to do with…

Personal Drones like Personal Computers
Sam Harrelson, samharrelson.comThe Drones Are Coming – Business Insider: “For example, if you’re a surfer who wants footage of yourself tearing up the waves, you would press a button on your ‘follow-me box’ and the droid would fly out to you, position itself above you, …

Shawn King, loopinsight.com
Have you ever wondered what the difference between “Holland” and “The Netherlands” is? Of course you haven’t – not many have.But just in case you have even a mild interest, this video by C. G. P. Grey does an amazing job of explaining this odd lit…
I guess maybe it could be a new era though?
Roselyn’s mom was frying some fish during our conversation.
Okay, so maybe nothing has changed there after all!

Apple Maps Fail
Here’s how ridiculously Apple Maps sucks today…
BCC High School is located in Bethesda, MD. It’s not far from the location you see here on the map if you’re in San Diego or something, but it’s definitely nowhere near this spot, which is actually Northwood High School in Silver Spring.
So, it’s clearly marked as BCC. But it’s Northwood.
When you click the icon (a feature of Apple Maps I actually love a lot), the location screen shows the correct address for Northwood, but it’s labeled BCC. Students at either school might be able to get away with using this as an excuse for missing class at least once, right?

Quality Shopping Time
…and so it begins 💸
New York City just approved a pilot program that will allow riders to hail cabs on their smartphones, paving the way for app-building upstarts trying to make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
This should be a boon to Uber — and stranded cab riders everywhere.
This is great news. Uber and others are truly useful. It has been upsetting to see the taxi industry winning in their effort to stop this type of innovation. Good ideas should always be supported and embraced.
I wonder how long it will take Apple to just build the functionality to hail a cab into their maps? Oh wait, they fired the maps guy and their maps sucks. Okay, I guess Google will do it for us!
