       @mattblaze when Years ago when I worked at RIM, my dev team was responsible for (among other things) the “find my lost phone” feature. Out of the gate we got an unexpectedly large amount of traction in Venezuela. Looking into why, we found that people were buying BlackBerries to give to their children, so that if they were kidnapped they could geolocate them. We developed the feature to find lost phones, but discovered we were saving kids’ lives.

       My sister has come down with COVID for the first time. She attended the RSNA medical conference last week in Chicago. Very few attendees wearing masks, lots of people “coughing loudly from every direction, and not covering their mouths” (yuck). She got her COVID shot earlier in the fall, so good odds that she won’t suffer long term effects. But still: wear a mask in crowded spaces, and stay home if you have symptoms! You'd think MDs would be smart about this stuff, but generally no.

       @tomjennings @babble_endanger @evan Wow, this app is amazing. Thanks for posting, I hadn't heard of it before. I had been looking for a non-subscription offline mapping app for hiking, and Organic Apps is perfect.
