Your picture is itself quite impressive. Do you mind sharing more about the equipment and process it takes to capture something like that?

Edit: Oh, you can click through the image and see technical details. Very cool.

"May the sign of the exponential be ever in your favor." -- @dbasch, a great tweet concluding that thread

Thanks for the heads-up!

These guys screwed me over in exactly this way when I bought a car from them three years ago. I raised hell when the deal I was asked to sign was for ~$2k more than we negotiated, but they wouldn’t budge. I should have walked away, but it’s hard when they spring it on you at the last second after you’ve spent hours getting to that point. Before I left their lot, I pulled the license plate frames with their name off the car and made a show of throwing them in showroom trash can. I told them they had sold a car, but I would forever tell everyone I know how shady they were.

I’m happy to see this.

There was a time when you could identify the entire country of Cuba by the "accent" of their CW signals. For whatever reason, probably the popularity of certain homebrew gear designs there, most Cuban CW signals had a characteristic "chirp" due to the frequency shifting a little at the start of each dot and dash. That, and sometimes their average frequency would drift up or down the band, and you'd have to chase them around.

I had a lot of fun with radios as a kid (15--20 years ago). It was so magical to talk all across the world from your bedroom. Then this whole Internet thing happened. ;)

Thank you, Alexis. Well done.

Try the command line program "enscript". It has many options that control the output formatting. For example, you can print pages in landscape orientation, two-up, with source highlighting and line numbers.

What a civil discourse.

At this moment, 30/30 stories on the front page are about Steve Jobs. Has one story ever done that? Clearly, our loss is very widely recognized. We've lost a hero.

That's a bold prediction.
