Back from Austin, Texas — with a second-day hangover, plane anxiety, and a new fear of driverless taxis.
This week we’re recapping our first trip to Texas — Shane’s smart home conference, Caroline surviving the flight with carefully measured meds, great food, questionable drink choices, and one very aggressive autonomous taxi.
Plus, video episodes are now on Apple Podcasts, and we may or may not be launching “Marriage Court.”
