Run Sheet ~ Zarn & Michael
⬇︎
Our Aussie Apple Ramblings are different.
We are just here to celebrate 2021’s Ups and Downs
The reason we have had no shows recently is our schedules have been changing at short notice.
Family challenges, ie hospital visits.
Workloads
So our 2022 resolution ~ get back to weekly show
Story 1 ~ MS ~ Pic
Ted Lasso — The Missing Christmas Mustache
A simple little animated piece, starring the gang.
I don’t want to spoil it. You like the show you will like this.
And don’t forget to go back and watch or just watch it to get some Christmas spirit
Carol of the Bells
Ted Lasso: Season 2, Episode 4

Story 2 ~ ZK ~ No Pic
Here’s a simple one
Go the Apple Store app, not the App Store app.
And type let it snow!
The snow on the screen lasts about 3 minutes.

Story 3 ~ MS ~ Pic
My wife and I watched
Twas the Fight before Christmas on Apple TV+
It is a documentary about a legal battle going on in The States.
It is about a guy, a lawyer, who “ really loves “ Christmas and his neighbourhood committee.
I am not taking sides, as you get to see both sides of the argument in the show. Which pulls you one way and back.
And remember they are Americans. And yes, that’s meant to be a bit Snarky!

We have also watched a lot of Disney Christmas movies.

Story 6 ~ MS
This is just a reminder to still be vigilant leading up to and during your holidays.
Free WiFi is not Free
When you are at home only your family can generally see what you are doing.
Hotel / Coffee Shop / etc WiFi, anyone on the network could see.
Remember to have a PIN / Passcode on your mobile devices before you leave home. This stops baddies accessing you data, information, hotel room if something happens.
Remember to download all the movies you want to watch on the plane DAYS BEFORE you are leaving. It will always be faster downloads at home and you make sure you get ALL the shows you want to watch.
If the kids are watching on your laptop in the back seat and they are rugged up. You need to explain about NOT BLOCKING the air vents on the laptop.
Think about how to protect the screens on the portable devices when packing and on day trips, etc
Think about ways of NOT leaving your portable device in the back of the seat on the plane, like I did. I remembered after I got off the plane and then had to wait until EVERYBODY had departed before I could go back and get it. NOT TALKING MINUTES.

Story 7 ~ ZK ~ No Pics
Backyard Squirrel Maze 2.0- The Walnut Heist
So there is this guy on YouTube who is known as the Glitter Bomb man. He started creating Glitter Bombs when he got his delivered package stolen from his door step.
So for fun he setup a squirrel maze to stop the squirrels getting his bird feed.
It is fun to watch.
His channel also goes in to depth about scammers and them getting your goods AND money! We are talking “mules” being in the driveway when a package is delivered to an AirBNB address, then taking or shipping to an in-between person who then ships it back to the original scammers.
