// Blather:
Welcome, Armene Piper! Nobody's sure how it happened, really but Piper's exactly what TRO's podcast was missing. Just ask her!
Maggie's casual, kickback banter with the one and only Johanna Noble is a refreshing look at the excitement motorcycle travel inspires in all of us. In no time flat, Johanna learned to ride, knocked out 300 miles to go fishing and returned with dinner in her panniers. It should be no surprise that she's already become an instructor (in rugged Alaska of all places).
Finally, there sits Tim and Robin, semi-silent as they're outnumbered this round. It's women's history month! What better way to celebrate than hand the baton to thoughtful, skilled and charismatic motorcyclists!
// Guest Interview:
No matter how you spin it, "Johanna Noble" rhymes better with "adventure" than any other option. Her short riding career doesn't even have a beginning. Instead, it has a status ... and that status probably ghost authored every Chuck Norris joke you haven't heard yet.
// Site Updates & Features:
So, Apple bought Dark Sky. Dark Sky is (or was) a weather API from which many thousands of people were sourcing information for their weather apps. You can probably guess what that means for TRO.
Fortunately, Climacell was already in the mix where air quality and allergen reports are concerned. As it turns out, their API is many times better than Dark Sky! We're changing a good many things on the weather page as a result, so keep a close eye.
There are a bunch of other things on the docket but we forget what they are. Whatever. These things usually fix themselves ::: pours soda on keyboard :::
