My Nexus 5 analysis was upstaged again by events. I decided to buy and check out a Chromecast today, and the sad state of my “broadband” Internet connections (thanks Comcast!) prompted me to go on a bit of a rant about the current state of net connectivity. I got a little cranky.

On a more somber note, I express my sadness at the news of PG Holyfield’s serious medical condition. It’s heartbreaking, and I strongly encourage folks to consider donating to Patrick and his family at the GoFundMe URL in the show notes.

I started out planning to discuss the Nexus 5, then made a detour into my service provider Ting, and my history with smartphones in general. Because, you know…I figured you all needed to hear about that. LOL

So far, so good… we’ve got two in the can now. I’ve really been enjoying all the DDOP podcasts that I’m trying to catch up on now, and I’m also working on scrobbling all my podcast listening to a new (podcast-only) last.fm account. At least that’s the idea…not quite happening yet. Time to tweak the fiddly bits.

Zoinks! Not only did this take awhile for me to *do*, it took over a week to get uploaded and posted! Sigh. Well, I hope everyone had a happy holiday. As for the podcast, it’s my first in the car, and I’ve only listened to it for a few seconds post-processed. I hope it sounds ok. I discuss that fact (car recording), talk about the holidays a bit, speak about our dog Toby passing, and mention that I’m considering doing transcription of my podcasts. HA! Let’s just get them uploaded in a timely fashion before we start thinking about that!

More sad news; I should post more than podcasts and RIPs here, I’m thinking. Our black lab Toby had to be put to sleep yesterday. It happened very fast; the photo shown here was from only 8 days before his last. He was going to the vet, because we were a little concerned than he had become very picky with his eating, and was having just the smallest amount of trouble with his hips. The vet found very little that day, but things progressed quickly. We had to make that difficult pet owner’s choice yesterday, and keep things from getting worse. He wasn’t in pain, but he was confused, and things weren’t getting better.

We love you, Toby, and we miss you terribly. You were the sweetest dog I’ve ever had the fortune to have in my life. Thank you for accepting me so generously into your family. Thank you for taking me on those walks this past week; I wish I had thought to take more pictures of them. Thank you for being good to the kittens, and sharing your home with them. I will never ever forget you.

Toby!
