New blog post: Decoding ESCAPADE. Here I decode a recording of the ESCAPADE spacecraft that I did with an Allen Telescope Array antenna the day after they were launched. The modulation is PCM/PSK/PM with rate=1/2 Turbo code. The telemetry uses CCSDS TM frames and Space Packets.

Just realized Google has entrenched mansplaining at the top of their search engine results as the AI summary...got all the hallmarks... annoying, too long, often what you knew anyway or didn't ask for, frequently wrong but confident...now everyone gets the joy of being mansplained-to. Lol!

Hi everyone, after the success of the City To Casino stroll, I was kicking around the idea of running the Point To Pinnacle because I needed a goal to keep me feeling ok. Unfortunately, my glioblastoma kicked off in a new spot and made that unfeasible. However, while my running days are over

Adani's promise of "10,000 jobs. $22b in royalties & taxes." Carmichael mine employs 84 workers with a service provider bringing the total to 1200. Royalties paid 2024 were $83.5m & $78.6m in 2025. While revenue was $1.27b it has an operating loss. #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Adani promised Australia billions from its Carmichael mine but it hasn’t paid a cent in tax. How did we get here?
The coalmine generated millions in revenue in its early days but recorded an operating loss – a pattern that would repeat at scale

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

An absolutely fantastic textbook on statistics and machine learning by Prof. Yuan-Sen Ting came out this week - and it's free! #astromethods ☄️

I had a read and it's incredibly comprehensive and well-written - I expect this to become *the* foundation book on stats & ML basics in astro.

Stephen Bates has been an incredible voice for Brisbane - delivering 20,000 meals and holding more than 200 events in his community.

He went from a retail worker into the halls of Parliament, to holding big corporations accountable for three years.

He has great things to come.
