Timely nuggets of information and ideas we want to share with you.

Teletubbies are coming back!  If you had children who loved the Teletubbies in the early 2000s like I did, they’re back, premiering on November 14 on Netflix with Tituss Burgess as the narrator.  Tinky, Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po began as a BBC production in the late 1990s and then came to PBS in the States.  My children were crazy about them,  and they became part of contemporary pop culture.  https://www.netflix.com/ch-en/title/70224479

This is a plug for using tracking devices in your luggage.  I just read an article in the New York Times about a woman who had put Apple Air Tags in her luggage and not only helped police find her bags, but also the airport employee who had stolen them.  The employee has been charged with stealing over $16,000 worth of items from her and other passengers’ luggage.  Air Tags are a Bluetooth-enabled tracking device made by Apple.  There are other similar devices like Tile (for both iOS and Android devices) and Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag (only for Android 10 or later programs).  Amazon carries them all.  Prices range from $25.00 – $40.00.

Hasbro has come out with the “Official Wordle Board Game”.  It is for 2-4 players and suggested for ages 14+.  It comes with dry erase boards.  Players compete to solve each Wordle in the fewest tries to win.  There is the classic way to play plus three variations. It will be released November 1, 2022 and is available for pre-order now. $19.99.

Tom Hanks has a new trivia app.  He narrates Hanx101Trivia on Apple Arcade.  The game has more than 58,000 questions and some of the categories are art, business, food, geography, history and science. You can invite a friend to play with or against you.  It claims to be appropriate for ages 4+. You can play for a month for free, then you must join Apple Arcade which has many games.  That is $4.99 a month.
