CCATP #620 — Eleanor Mazzarella on Moving from Musician to Programmer

This week we’re joined by Eleanor Mazzarella, a musician turned programmer. She gives us her background in music from finding a clarinet on a bookshelf as a child to a career as a classical performer. She then walks us through how and why she decided that programming sounded like more fun. She’s a funny, delightful […]

The Power of AirPlay 2

December 9, 2018
by podfeet

You guys know that I’m not a huge listener of music, and to be honest, Steve doesn’t play music really often either. There are times that we like it though, like during the holiday season. Steve loves to play the Charlie Brown Christmas music and other classics. (Dorothy, I know you think anything after the […]

NC #695a Melodics, QR Codes for WiFi Passwords, Ethics in Reviews, iPad Apps to Entertain a Toddler

The audio of this episode was originally posted with several minutes missing. If you hear a jump from talking about Amazon reviews to the end of BANDIMAL, you have the old version. My apologies! The NosillaCastaways will be hanging out in the live chat room during the Apple announcement on September 12th at 10am Pacific […]

Three iPad Apps to Entertain a Toddler

I remember when we had little kids, we just didn’t have nice stuff. What was the point, right? Everything was going to be covered in jelly and thrown around without discrimination. But now, our youngest child, Kyle, is 27 and he hardly ever throws his toys in the house anymore. These days, we sorta don’t […]

What’s Unexpected about HomePod?

By now you’re either sick of hearing about HomePod, or you’re so curious about it you’re paying attention to this. I thought it might be fun to talk about what has surprised Steve and me about HomePod. I’ve read the reviews, I’ve heard the hype, and I’ve heard the naysayers. I would suggest to you […]

Tiny Tip – How to Share Existing Music Playlists in iOS 11

I’m going to break my cardinal rule. I’m going to give you a tip about music. I’ve always said I will never help anyone with iTunes or anything related to music. Ask Honda Bob how many times he’s called me asking for help in iTunes and just write back, “nope”. I guess I should explain […]

Allister’s Journey from Castblaster to MiX16 Pro

This piece started out as a simple review of one piece of software, but as I began writing, I realised it’s one of those times where a bit of storytelling is in order. Some listeners will know that I once had a podcast of my own. Technically, I still do, but it’s a pretty rare […]

NC #618 Atlantic on Specific Musical Anhedonia, DTNS Women in Tech, Printers are Jerks, D-Link Omna Cam, Second Sight Argus Prosthetic Eye

We’ll have one more NosillaCast before we go off on our grand adventure to the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu, and while we’re gone please send in some audio reviews for Allister and Bart (email addresses in the show notes. I brag shamelessly about an article in the Atlantic about me and other people with […]

Apple CarPlay Gives a Useful Interface in Volkswagen Jetta – by Dorothy R

Guest Post by Dorothy R (aka @maclurker) As soon as Allison heard I had a new car that included CarPlay, she had to know more. All the details, in their technical glory. Specifically a NosillaCast review. So before I could even get started, I had to define … The problem to be solved: how to […]

If You Don’t Like Mom’s Answer, Ask Dad

Good friend of the show, (and personal friend of mine), Dorothy, is an extremely methodical person. Unlike me, she does not jump willy nilly into a new operating system when it comes out. She gives it a few months and lets the crazy people figure out what’s broken and only after the angst dies down […]
