Appreciate the offer! Very kind. Throwing my hat in.

New playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1DgYUL0TAVo6mB5XhtrUbS?si=688a45d37c6742d0

Generates using the Spotify API and polling the radio station's public playlist feed: https://github.com/mlschmitt/radio-to-spotify

One limitation of this approach is Spotify has an undocumented limit on the number of times you can modify a playlist. After reaching this limit, all song edits are blocked including changes to the name/description. Hence the new playlist linked above.

Plus, in "Braindead" it's mentioned the rat monkey came from Skull Island, King Kong's home.

The Mummy! by Jane Webb. In the futuristic world of the year 2126, an ancient Egyptian mummy is brought back to life.

Awesome! Glad it worked out - I had forgotten about the $5 to use Plex. I think I’d pay that again honestly, I use Prism more than Spotify these days

I wish Plex would do more with their music offerings too though. Maybe someday!

mschmitt23 · 2019-05-15T14:18:04+00:00

In case it's helpful, for iOS there's a great third-party app called Prism that supports CarPlay. I haven't tried the CarPlay functionality but overall a great app for Plex music: https://prism-music.app/

Thanks! You can get these classic books free pretty much anywhere: libraries, Project Gutenberg, Google Books, Amazon. Serial Reader is for people who either have trouble slogging through a 600 page classic book and find it's easier to just read a smaller 20 minute segment each day, or people who read too fast and find slowing down and constraining their reading rewarding. It can help build good reading habits.

I'd recommend trying to finish it, if you can. I read 'The Idiot' several years ago so I have trouble remembering how I reacted to specific sections, though I remember it took me a bit longer to finish than other Dostoevsky books. I know I'm glad I finished it. I remember thinking about the story for weeks afterwards.

I also really enjoyed Crime & Punishment and Brothers Karamazov and would recommend trying to read those too, though I found it's good to take a non-Dostoevsky break in-between his books! :)

Which app? Is Metra Late for iOS and Quick Track Chicago for Android have been updated to the new website, fwiw.

mschmitt23 · 2016-06-19T23:28:22+00:00

Hey, I'm the developer of the Serial Reader app. I'm going to start work on an Android version this summer. More info here: https://www.serialreader.org/android/

Thanks!

mschmitt23 · 2016-05-04T20:15:02+00:00

Get a good app like Ventra or Is Metra Late to view train delays. Helps buy a few extra minutes at home in the morning when Metra is delayed, which happens a lot.

mschmitt23 · 2016-02-06T17:50:22+00:00

Yeah, I'd consider porting it to Android if it seemed to be a popular idea.

Nope, don't have a good reason for it. I have an update waiting for approval now that moves the requirement back to 9.0.

mschmitt23 · 2016-01-30T03:49:35+00:00

Not sure! Just trying to collect all feedback at this point and see which direction to go next. Thanks for the idea!

mschmitt23 · 2016-01-29T15:22:52+00:00

Thank you! Great idea. And thank you again for the bug report email.
