Welcome to the first edition of Random Things Digest with David Thrift at DDAVIDD.com, where I bring you a collection of various things I’ve discovered on the internet that you may find interesting. These topics are always posted first on my home page, and then about once a week those topics are moved into a digest like this one. So if you want to see Random Things I’m sharing first, always go to my home page. I try to find something new to share there at least once a day.
Here are the topics I have for this Random Things Digest:

006. Remarkable 2
Something I’ve been eyeballing lately are note taking e-ink tablets. One of them is the Remarkable tablet. Now Remarkable 2 is out, and it looks great, however the pricing has me locked out since I do very well with digital note taking (Google Keep and Simplenote are two of my best friends). You can check Remarkable 2 out here. 2020-08-15-SAT-21:18-CST

Podcast Spotlights
Podcast Spotlights are a new thing I started doing in September 2020. I have to admit that I don’t listen to many podcasts myself personally. If I do listen to one, it’s usually the Armin Van Buuren’s ASOT (A State Of Trance) podcast. My Podcast Spotlights are a way for me to connect with more favorite Podcasts, while also highlighting some that you may enjoy. See the list below of the current Podcast Spotlights.
