OnStar to the Rescue!
Filed Under Innovations, Technology | Leave a Comment
Trying to be “green,” I reached over my seat to get the canvas bags I had for grocery shopping. Somehow, while I was doing this, my car keys ended up in the front seat now behind a locked car door!
Never fear, OnStar is here! Now, what was that number? I dialed 800-4OnStar. Got a busy signal. Figured OnStar shouldn’t be busy so I called my husband. He looked up the number — it was 888 not 800! He called for me — I guess I also needed a password I didn’t have.
It did work just like you see in the commercials! My car was unlocked in seconds.
Thanks, OnStar (and hubbie, too)!
Listened to my Podcast on Tivo!

I have been a fan of Tivo for quite some time. I just found out that I could listen to any podcast (including my own) from my TV! I went to the Music, Showcases menu option from the main Tivo menu. I went to Podcaster and then to the last entry which says to Enter URL. I put in my desired URL: http://dougandlori.podbean.com/feed (the /feed is important), and up popped my podcast complete with picture! I called into my blog through Jott to make sure I remembered to blog this! That is my latest technique. Jott won’t record the entire blog entry (the free version, anyway), but it gives me enough to remember what I wanted to say.
