Woke up every morning before 3 AM for almost 30 years to be that face you see on morning TV telling you about the weather. Now I’m a full time Twitch Streamer. Flight and space sims. Twitch.tv/757spy (same on Y.T.). Wrote three Spy Novels.
Almost time for the flight sim community’s annual Fly and See Santa event. About 2k pixel-planes are taking to the sim skies on VATSIM. Cheers!

Uh Oh! A mission-critical application failed here at the Spy Flight's H.Q. Fortunately, there was a back up plan. Here's the story and good advice for emerging content creators. (no paywall):

A few videos popped up in my YouTube feed that were well produced with a great message. The messages were informative, passionate and hard hitting. Then at the end, the producers/talent killed the message. Here's the whole story (no paywall) open.substack.com/pub/757spyfl...

Something I've been doing for the past 8 months is transferring decades of NOAA data from NCEI/NOAA servers and putting everything on AWS, in a private account. It's not publically accessible (aside from all other things, I don't want to pay for that bandwidth); but it is safeguarded. Still at it!

Jumping into the world of Substack with cool things I've learned in my 10-year transition from over the air TV to on-line content creation. No Substack paywalls from me, just cool stuff that might help you "level up" your video production for Zoom meetings.

New Spy breakfast creation. Tornado scrambled eggs over rice with guacamole. 🥑 Experimenting in the kitchen can be fun , sometimes a bit deadly, but always a great way to start the day.

Yesterday they were all pointing a finger at the NWS. This morning, I published the documented proof that NWS did their job and sent warnings intended for phones. And someone (cough, cough) has been calling media to make them aware.
Now they’re not pointing that finger at meteorologists anymore.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival.
Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred
a terrorist?

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
