Podcast episode 17: Ida Techie – How Jeff Used His iPhone to Navigate the Hurricane

Episode 17 of the In the News podcast is now available.  We spent much of the time talking about Hurricane Ida, and more generally how you can use technology to plan for and manage a disaster such as a hurricane.  For example, I credit an immediate alert from the TripIt app with my catching a plan just in time to make it home to my family before the hurricane.  We also talk about an upcoming feature in the Wallet app that will let you carry a digital version of your driver’s license and upcoming changes to the App Store.  

In this week’s In the News segment, Brett shares a great tip for accessing the Notes that you create on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac on a Windows computer using iCloud.  I recommend the Midland ER310 Emergency Crank Weather AM/FM Radio, which was critical for me after Hurricane Ida when there was no power and no cell service.  This is a great device to have on hand just in case you are ever in an emergency situation.
