Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Aside from the impacts on the climate, your health, and animal welfare…

Take home message… I just don’t care about my kids, myself, or any other being on this planet….but that juicy burger

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

The new to me Bug arrived!

Going to take me a while learn it.

A bug is a mechanical, semi-automatic Morse Code key invented over 100 yrs ago. This particular key was made shortly after WWII in the late 1940.

She sings so sweet!

As a 5 yr old, Bob, one of 120k Japanese Americans incarcerated in the USA’s Japanese interment camps during WWII.

I love how art speaks loudly for Voices Long Silenced.

Exhibit: National Archives in Washington DC 2/18/25.

Bob’s poster accepted into Smithsonian Permanent Collection.

It’s happened…

Last night I got locked out of an account for “clicking faster than a human”.

This morning I’m listening to someone argue with Siri.

The robot overlords are here!

Working night shift for a few weeks. It’s a nice change of pace. Time to focus on just getting things done.

When your neighbor kicks off that backyard remodel project and the jackhammer starts seconds after you fall asleep, yeah that’s not fun.

We all need a break from the noise and insanity.

I have been learning Morse code as a way to focus my energy and reduce stress. In fact I recorded an entire course on the subject.

Join me over at courses.wavetalkers.com and come learn Morse code with me.

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.

It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

Brilliant work by Bartosz Wojczyński. 🧪
