Hi, this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Apple Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Apple bias. Today is Sunday, February 22, 2026, and this is show number 1085. Steve and I are back from an amazing<\/em> trip to Finland and Estonia, seeing the Northern lights while snowshoeing, driving dogsleds ourselves, riding snowmobiles up into basically enchanted forests, and riding in a sled across a frozen lake to see reindeer.<\/p>\n

I could not have enjoyed this trip of a lifetime if it weren’t for Jill from the Northwoods taking the reins while we were gone. She did a stellar job of it, didn’t she? I’m continuously impressed at the ways Jill has incorporated AI into her life, from running her podcast empire at startwithsmallsteps.com<\/a> to figuring out ways to keep her health journey on track. I loved hearing her get to talk cybersecurity with Bart, and it was clear he enjoyed it as well.<\/p>\n

We got back late in the week, but that didn’t keep Steve from posting more CES interviews for us to watch and hear, and we have Ed Tobias to thank for a cool review this week. And guess what else? Jill is back with a review, too! We even have a wee contribution from me this week.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2026_02_22.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

We have not one, not two, but three heroes to celebrate this week. First, Owen Harris became our newest Patreon subscriber by going to podfeet.com\/patreon<\/a>. Then Paul at La Crosse bought me many coffees at podfeet.com\/donate<\/a>, and then “Someone” bought me even more coffee. I say “someone” because that’s the name they actually gave! In any case, I can’t thank all three of these fine folks enough for their support of the work we do here.<\/p>\n

AstroAI S8 Ultra – The Jump Starter That Delivers<\/a><\/h4>\n

I love this, Jill. Way back in 2014, I saw one of these battery jump starters online, and I asked Honda Bob if it was a gimmick or it could really work. Being a top-notch mechanic and a geek, he bought one to test it out. Not only did it work as advertised, he even did a review for us<\/a>!<\/p>\n

But I love even more that you gave away your jump starter to that couple. That act of kindness will be remembered by them as a better day in a string of very bad days. You have real heart.<\/p>\n
