    Google Shared My Phone Number!
    May 21 2025
    Based on an original blog post at: https://danq.me/2025/05/21/google-shared-my-phone-number/

    When people started calling my personal mobile number with questions about a voluntary organisation I'm involved with, I was confused: we weren't sharing that number. It turns out that Google had decided to take the number I used to verify my identity for Google Business some years prior and start putting it in Google Search results. WTF, Google?

    In the UK, ice cream vans are perhaps the only delivery service with their own jingle. Turkey and India are WAY ahead of us in this regard, and I've got a few ideas about how we fix that...

    00:20 Ice cream vans
    01:14 Water, propane, and vegetables
    03:37 Other delivery services?

    Last month, the dog ate my slippers, and in the week it took me to replace them my work productivity took a dip. Coincidence? Nope! They were my 'work slippers', and it turns out I needed them!

    00:00 Intro
    00:21 Work Slippers
    00:58 Routines are important
