I enjoy thinking and doing. Not necessarily in that order.
Opulent Voice digital radio protocol is “Compressed but not compromised”.
A video of a complete over the air demonstration of the system, including satellite simulator, will be published earlier than planned. Thank you to all the volunteers making ambitious #hamradio things happen.

I post open source digital radio work here. This is one of the things I work on and want to talk with other people about. I do #opensource #fpga #digital #radio projects with a variety of individuals & organizations. I'd love to hear more from you and meet up at ORI's weekly zoom call. Let me know!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I just don't feel like the President of the United States should be declaring that he hates his enemies. I don't feel like the VPOTUS should be calling citizens dipshits on social media. I'm old fashioned that way.

Meanwhile, US educators don’t have to jump through hoops and over firewalls to get this same information and they simply don’t give a shit — they’d rather invite venture capitalists and quants to tell students how to get rich.
