I’ve created a 20 minute video based on my recently published slides. In this presentation, which is aimed at viewers who have heard little or nothing about amateur radio before, I try to explain what amateur radio is and what you can do with it. Please note that i am neither a professional video creator/editor nor that english is my first language. The video might be best viewed in 1.25x …

Happy Thanksgiving! If you celebrate, are you cooking anything? My mom is in town, and my dad arrives tomorrow (yes, both my divorced parents!), and we’re also hosting friends, including this party girl.… Read more The post Happy Thanksgiving! appeared first on Cup of Jo.

PC, Mac Sometimes you just need a really good distraction. That’s not faint praise – an average or bad distraction isn’t what anyone wants – the “really good” part is vital. Proverbs is a really good distraction. Things have been pretty rough personally for a bit, which is unfortunately reflected in a lower number of articles here, and today’s an especially rough one. But I’m not here to whine – …

I am frustrated by VSCode lately. I might share the reasons in another post someday. For the moment, I turned to PyCharm and try to adopt it as my primary IDE for Python projects. So far, many things are really wonderful, like the refactoring tools, the AI toolbox, the constant level of memory usage and the editor in general. But some things are at best called confusing, and I am …

Melbourne's Metro Tunnel is not yet open for service but I was fortunate enough to get on a tour of Anzac station on St Kilda Rd near the Shrine of Remembrance. This was offered to attendees of the Australasian Transport Research Forum conference as well as some others (like me). The station is still a construction site but is nearly finished. In this video I walk from the surface, down …

Kate Fortmueller and Luci Marzola’s Hollywood Unions thoroughly chronicles the histories of these unions that organized motion picture and television labor. Among the unions and guilds highlighted in this book are IATSE, DGA, SAG-AFTRA, and WGA. These different unions encapsulate the many different types of …

I'm pretty excited about today's review as it fills a neat space in my collection. I really was impressed with the recent set of Scare Mare and Scare Glow that Mondo put up for preorder this past summer. Impressed looking at it online, that is. The set of a new Scare Glow and the all new Scare Mare in Mondo's 1/6th scale Masters of the Universe line was available as …

Bluesky has the juice right now, and while it’s slowed down a bit this week, they were adding over 1 million users a day for a bit last week. One sentiment I’m hearing a lot recently is that Bluely “feels like early Twitter,” which to be fair, I feel as well.But you don’t have to look back too far to see this “it feels like early Twitter” sentiment thrown around …

I hate losing more than I even wanna win. This kind of feels like a continuation of the corporate history movies we’ve been watching, but the real reason we’re here is that after watching Aaron Sorkin’s great screenplay in The Social Network it also seemed right to finally watch this. But the question is, what the fuck do I know about baseball? Nothing at all is the answer, nothing at …
