MobileViews Podcast 265: Post Hurricane Lane

  1. Nothing new in emergency prep apps as far as I can tell
  2. Electric utility rep said on TV that its outage app is not accurate.
  3. Couldn’t figure out why people kept marking themselves safe on Facebook when no dangerous event was near them
    Jon’s Take: People have a horrible grasp of geography + they believe everything hyped by the news, and it’s in the news’ best interest to scare them.
  4. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with POE HAT announced.
  5. ZipGrade.com (I’ve talked about them before, I believe, but a good service that’s fairly cheap)
    ZipGrade turns your phone or tablet into an optical grading machine similar to a Scantron.
