@jean I haven't done this, but if you don't have a flatbed scanner available, probably the least expensive and easiest approach would be taking pictures of the pages with your phone.
You can use Apple Notes to use the camera to scan a document, which tries to adjust for the four page corners, but that takes a number of taps per page.
Just taking pictures of the pages in the Camera app, like in an old spy movie is probably the quickest.
Before #WWDC22 gets started tomorrow, I wanted to announce that there will be no LIVE near WWDC show for 2022.
However, I will be at Apple Park tomorrow and around all week if people want to meet up!

@cygnoir In that case, this week’s @theweeklyreview episode should make you feel even better.

@hollyhoneychurch Thank you! I also never asked what are your favorite songs to dance to? I hope your 30 day dance challenge is going well!
As we wait for today’s launch of Apple Fitness+ here’s a new post about habit-building after finishing twelve weeks of daily workouts:
@hollyhoneychurch Thanks! The automation in the Home app doesn't allow for a random time. But I do move it around depending on what is going on that day. (Like making sure it doesn't start in the middle of recording an episode with @macgenie!) So, it's easy for me to forget exactly what time it is set for. It's too difficult to pick a favorite song, but a few are Love Shack by the B52s, ABC by the Jackson 5, and Try Everything by Shakira.
Here’s how I’m using Siri on HomePod and Apple Watch to stay in the flow of a workout.
Might just come in handy if you’ve got a HomePod mini on the way—even if you aren’t doing a daily Dance Party!

For a small dose of music store irony, you can buy a new instrument from Elderly Instruments.

Trying to come up with a clever post for today’s word, but I don’t want to force it.

It’s the dance sensation that’s sweepin’ the…
Well, sweepin’ my house at least.

“The devil went down to Georgia. He was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind ’cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.”
What happens if the devil doesn’t make his soul quota? Are these self-imposed metrics? Is there some quarterly bonus involved?

I don’t think I’ve had an opportunity to inflate a balloon since filling the bio-degradable ones that we released at my father’s memorial in Canada a few years ago.

After puzzling over why the hot suddenly took forever to reach the faucet, I think the answer is a broken hot water recirculating pump.
In other news, today I learned there is such a thing as a hot water recirculating pump.

Especially in the very near term I need to focus on things that are actually within my control.

I am not a hardware or Linux tinkerer at all, but this new Raspberry Pi embedded in a compact keyboard may be too cool to resist.
It will be difficult to concentrate for the next few days. #mbnov
The overcast skies in the Bay Area make the start of many a day seem dreary until the sun burns away the fog of the marine layer revealing the sun and a canopy of blue. #mbnov
I’ve just finished a long-due renovation.

@Miraz @macgenie Thank you Miraz, I appreciate that.
I’ve been staying at home in CA and wrote a little song about things that’s a definite departure from a Breakpoints tune. Hope you like it.
When you need to move your laundry from the washer to the dryer, but you don’t want to wake the cat sleeping on you.
My sister called this morning to wish me a Happy St. Patrick’s Day and greeted me with:
“May the luck of no virus be with you!”
🍀🍀🍀
@macgenie Thank you @macgenie! It was fun being decluttering buddies today via voice! That pile of papers has been my main impediment to doing a full canonical weekly review.
@f It was great chatting with you as well! Very glad to meet you. I hope your trip home was a good one.

@help It's been about 10 minutes since posting on the @theweeklyreview account, but the post hasn't hit the timeline yet. Seems like longer than the usual amount of time.
@macgenie Welcome home Jean!
@ddykstal Yes, if I absolutely needed something I would buy it.
@macgenie Safe travels Jean!
@klandwehr Thank you! Without the clutter of the backlog, it should be easier to do moving forward.
@macgenie Thanks!
@heckj Which I think makes sense, having a general publisher adaptor for async APIs, instead of necessarily adding specific publisher API to all async things.
@heckj Someone also suggested using a Future publisher with the file access calls in the promise closure.
@kulturnation Oddly enough I re-uploaded the podcast audio to a blank new post form and suddenly the old post text was there. Might be a bug, but at least one that worked in my favor.
@help I also posted from @theweeklyreview account at 10:59 am.
The post shows up on the Posts page for the account, but it isn't actually published on the hosted blog or in the timeline for the The Weekly Review account.
@help Is something going on with the system? Posts don't seem to be publishing even 10 minutes or so after posting.
@matpacker There's a great Twitter feed @FacesPics (Faces in Things ) that I follow there. It makes me chuckle whenever I see a post.
@pratik At least Disney didn’t name it ‘Galaxy’s Fold’…
@heckj Thank you! Where does dataTaskPublisher live?
@macgenie I know that pre-trip feeling. At least for me, it's part excitement and part being ‘what the heck am I forgetting to do before I leave?’ antsy.
@macgenie It’s a non-dairy concoction and hard to explain what it tastes like (rice milk and coconut based). It was not bad, but also not a favorite. I’ll probably try it again in the future though.
@smokey @macgenie No problem at all, just wanted to clarfiy just in case. It was really Jean’s original comment that made me think it could be misconstrued.
