Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Los Angeles maker’s collection of hands-on guides, including a Mac-to-Google-Nest stereo setup and an airport departure-time planner.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-09 issue.

Field notes

The audio guide documents a specific configuration: two Google Nest Audio speakers paired through Google Home and connected to a Mac, with a helper for pairing and a left/right channel test. The separate Departure Time tool lets travelers save usual airport timings and work backward from a flight, including the drive, parking, security, and walk to the gate. Its example leaves at 8:15 AM for an 11:00 AM departure, and the page says the tool requires no account.
