CCATP #804 \u2014\u00a0Pat Dengler on an Elaborate Scam Involving “Amazon”, the “FBI”, “Lawyers”, and More<\/a><\/h4>\n

You probably remember in early December in NosillaCast #1021 when you heard an interview with our friend and Certified Apple Consultant Pat Dengler about how her neighbor was THIS CLOSE to giving up $30,000 in cash to some scammers who had woven an elaborate web of lies to trick her. After Tom Merritt called this story “Darknet Diaries worthy”, Steve encouraged me to make that interview a standalone Chit Chat Across the Pond. We wanted to send it to our friends and relatives so we thought you might too. Look for Chit Chat Across the Pond in your podcatcher of choice for episode “#804 Pat Dengler on an Elaborate Scam Involving “Amazon”, the “FBI”, “Lawyers”, and More”.<\/p>\n

And now it’s time for the 13th annual reading of Steve’s EVER so slightly modified version of The Night Before Christmas. This is dedicated to our dear friend and long-time NosillaCastaway Honda who left us in 2019.<\/p>\n

The Night Before Christmas<\/a><\/h4>\n

Thanks for that, Steve, I know it’s a holiday tradition the NosillaCastaways always look forward to. With that, let’s jump into some serious nerdery.<\/p>\n

I was toodling along on my morning walk this week when I got a notification from Slack on my Apple Watch. It was from NosillaCastaway Scott Kelsey. Scott was asking me for the name of the app I love so much that lets me track items in my home. I knew the answer to that off the top of my head, so I popped open Slack on my phone and answered him that it was Under My Roof, and sent him one of the app store links<\/a>. I put away my phone and in just a few seconds, Scott responded with, “Wow, that’s service!” I laughed but the next notification after that made me smile even more. He went to podfeet.com\/donate<\/a> and bought me a couple cups of coffee! He certainly didn’t have to do that, but I love that it’s so easy to say thanks now. And with that, I’ll thank Scott for his generous support.<\/p>\n
