Today is Sunday January 3, 2016 and this is show number 556.  It&#8217;s that time of the year again, time to troop off to CES in Las Vegas for the week. I know people complain a lot about it but Steve and I had a BLAST last year.  We love doing all the interviews and learning about new stuff that may or may not come to pass.  By the way, if you&#8217;re wondering why I don&#8217;t mind announcing that I&#8217;ll be away from home for a few days, it&#8217;s because we have a fiercely loyal TSA Agent who stays in our house while we&#8217;re gone and takes care of the kittens.  Tesla gets to go to our friend Nancy&#8217;s house (she calls it Camp Nancy) and she <em>loves<\/em> it there so we don&#8217;t even feel guilty.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure I won&#8217;t do a Chit Chat Across the Pond next week, but who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll find someone fun to interview for longer than a 3 minute spot in the NosillaCast.  Last week we had Bart back on the show. It wasn&#8217;t a Programming By Stealth segment but it was still pretty nerdy.  He taught me how to write a perl scrip that I could embed inside TextExpander so that I could create what he calls &#8220;pretty&#8221; Markdown or HTML links. Instead of long gloppy-looking links, now I can easily embed links in the shownotes that simply say the domain followed by a \/ and three dots showing you that there&#8217;s more to it than what it shows.  Very cool lesson and of course Bart has a detailed tutorial on it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/s\/2015\/12\/30\/pretty-markdown-html-links-with-text-expander-perl\/\" target=\"_blank\">bartbusschots.ie\/&#8230;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Blog Posts<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/honda-bob-health-iphone-battery-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">Honda Bob Health Update &#038; Review of Apple\u2019s iPhone 6\/6s Battery Case<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/olympus-60mm-f2-8-macro-lens\/\" target=\"_blank\">Olympus 60mm f\/2.8 Macro Lens<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/shure-mvi-motiv-app\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shure MVi Digital Audio Interface + MOTIV App<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/facebook-resistance-is-futile\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook &#8211; Resistance is Futile<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>That&#8217;s going to wind this up for this week.
