I love the 20,000MA accessible batteries from @atguys but I don't think they should develop a rattle less then a month after purchasing at #nfb25. Hopefully someone sees my e-mail and we can get it replaced, because I'd rather that rattle when you gently shake it not to turn into something more significant.

For anyone that went to #NFB25 and particularly if you stayed at the Marriott, might be an idea to double check your hotel bill. The one I was Emailed on checkout was fine and I think I was charged correctly, but the stay posted twice to my Bonvoy account and both have the wrong room number listed. I got a post stay survey Email addressed to someone else who turns out to be the occupant of the room in the bill that's listed on my stay history. Odd stuff indeed.

I'll never forget overhearing her talking to her friends and telling some of her friends that 'my daddy's coming home from work.'

Somebody said, 'your daddy works?'

She said, 'yeah a lot of blind people work.'"

Does anyone know if the Meta glasses are going to allow third party app support? I didn't receive clear information regarding this when I heard the talk given during General Sessions. I would love to see @AiraVI properly integrated into this platform instead of them having to do the whatsapp hack. #nfb25
