Hot Wheels...
Earlier this week, I read a story about looters in California who broke into a car dealership and stole luxury and sports cars worth millions of dollars. Tonight, it appears it's happening again. Storefront windows are smashed, locked key boxes are b
International short wave stations...
Still many broadcasting to many (developing) parts of the world. In dozens of languages. The cutbacks, with the internet, seem greatest in Europe and North Merka. But the (FINALLY) rising sun spot cycle index, making for improvements in reception and
Batteries...
Too often batteries are the issue in things needing to be replaced. Years ago, I had cellphones that the user could change out a battery when it no longer would hold a charge. Cellphones now are sealed to be dust and water resistant. They require the
Converting songs and things to metric...
America made a poor attempt to convert to metric in the 1970's and with the exception of tools and some engineered products, we switched back to the imperial system learned from England. Last time I checked, America, Liberia and Myanmar were the onl
Life before the Internet
This is for young people who weren't around when there was no such thing as online anything. The personal computer wasn't even invented yet. Oh, there were computers, but you needed a forklift to move them and a college degree to be allowed near on
SpaceX scheduled to launch 60 satellites today...
Today at 3:30 PM EDT (12:30 PM PDT) from Cape Canaveral in Florida, with live stream expected to kick off around 3:15 minutes prior, SpaceX is putting 60 broadband satellites into orbit as part of their Starlink service to a total of 418 satellites m
Safe mode
My desktop computer goes through phases of hanging or buffering for literally minutes on end, but not all the time. It starts, usually, about 10 minutes after I boot up, and lasts up to an hour - lately it has started doing it around 8 pm for, again,
Helium and beryllium- strategic elements.
The USA has most of these, as other places have concentrations of their own substances. Google these two, for their many essential uses. What a stupid blog, Vierk.
3D Pen...
You've probably heard of 3D printing where a filament of heated plastic is extruded to build up layers creating dimensional objects. Yes? They are used to create toys, mechanical gears, tools and medical supplies such as prosthetic body parts. In
HE washer? I'm a frayed again...
The condo I bought had an old washer & dryer. I didn't expect them to last long and I was right. Small capacity, they actually worked well, but they were too small to handle 10 bath towels in a load or a medium weight comforter. A few months ago, th
Google Maps...
We've grown to rely of Google for everything... well, mostly everything. I'm trying to resist as Google is invasive to the Nth degree. If I have an addiction, it's using Google Maps. For years, it's been part of my job to research addresses of my sal
HTTP Error 503.2 - Service Unavailable...
Now that millions of people are home under lockdown, it's safe to say the internet is on bandwidth overload. Many sites cannot handle the amount of increased traffic. I heard (on local radio) some streaming services (like Netflix) will be limiting/re
Networks, and network theory....
....links and nodes... Sure, concepts such as like sorts with like (homophily), contagion and resilience, she who has tends to beget more, falsehoods spread faster than truths, etc., are with us. But here's the surprise, they have always been. They u
Fossil fuel fed electric power plants....
....ending their heyday?....Some (academic--so likely alt liberally biased-VERY biased) researchers claim that the costs of these operations will now be much greater than for renewable technical sources. Into the hundreds of billions of USD. Even tal
A little common sense sure helps

username
hi! hope this reached you in a good condition. lol. so i wrote this to ask if it is possible to edit or change my username. i’ve looked but didn’t see any option that i can. i have resolved to think that it isn’t possible but my persistent self said
DRONEon episode 8...
The subject is Obstacle avoidance. I was reminded about this feature as the Kobe Bryant crash on Sunday January 26 killed all nine aboard a Sikorsky S-76B aircraft. If I had to do a quick list of advances in consumer drones, I would split them in
Building a hospital in 10 days...
I've seen video from China with a dozen or so tractors and earth moving equipment running around the clock and scheduled to build a hospital in 10 days. I keep thinking dog and pony show. Were the plans already made for a soon to open project? Land a
4.20...
The wind is down and I'm charging batteries to catch a few model aircraft flights this morning. The batteries I use are lithium polymer or Li-Po for short. They develop lots of power for a short time, so I have several when I go flying. It's import
Uhura had the first Bluetooth...
Star Trek came out in 1966. Uhura was the communications officer aboard the USS Enterprise. Her claim to fame is having the first Bluetooth. It was massive by today's standards and it appeared to have it's own radiator! https:/
laser etched diamonds...
Two coworkers were talking about an expensive diamond ring purchased while on a cruise to the Caribbean. I asked if there was a chance of fraud and they both agreed no, because the diamonds where etched with serial numbers. I'm not into jewelry an
Battle #2 With The Advertising Algorithms
Early in my relation with Amazon, I made the mistake of buying several items in my cart, just after a price increase. Apparently the algorithms decided that price increases were the way to get me to buy, because pretty soon most of the items in my c
predictive text blog...
I fight with my phone because it tries to put words different than what I'm thinking. That was a struggle to say and the rest of this blog will be totally predictive text. Sunday morning at the age of the United states and the United states and t
OK, all you astute CS bloggers.....
....As hinted at, here it is. We all have to thank the founders of this great CS service for making our lives better in lots of ways. And doing so without the shameless direct money grubbing of the paid for sites. World wide coverage---with reasonabl
Right now, I'm grateful, here on my knees, and not in front of any burning bush.
But the word is finally in, at the "too much money and time on hands" Consumers' Delectronics "group f-ck convention" in LV Nevada. Thank the Goddess, we now have an AI frying pan.That's right peebles. It not only listens and speaks to us, but can g
cellphone cords with the ability to hack...
I read a story today that people who charge their cellphones in public places are at a high risk of being hacked... especially if the charging cord or charging adapter isn't theirs. Hackers have found a way to manufacture iPhone charging cords wit
Pc / Laptop / Tablet / CellPhone
We are in a New Technology world: Just about everything is possible with communications across the world, being a millisecond away: You are totally dependant on a bank card, and many more cards. Money has just about landed in a museum... To c
DRONEon episode 6...
When I talk about drones, some people think of a teenage boy flying over a neighbors back patio to capture video of the guys daughter or hot looking wife. There are no examples of drones being used elsewhere that will change that mindset. Sorry...
The RAZR is back!
Last week it was a leaked rumor. This week it's been confirmed. Motorola is bringing back the legendary RAZR flip-phone. Introduced in 2004, the RAZR was such a hot item that Motorola sold more than 130 million units in 4 years making it the best-sel
Updates...
For many years, I've been using Firefox for my internet browser and update usually once every 3-4 months. In the past few months, it's been nagging for weekly updates. Annoying doesn't say enough and now, last weeks update has been snagging when I op
When Bloggers die .....

Forms that clear all the data if one detail was missed. Lots of times we have to fill out forms online. When you get to the bottom and hit the submit button, you expect to move to the next page. MOST forms are programmed that when you ar
Genius inventions...
I'm in the middle of a YouTube marathon viewing stories about some amazing inventions. Thomas Edison patented (and marketed) the electric light that changed the way we live. No more candles or gas lights in the night. His lights were powered from
Lies and Liars. What do we mean?
To begin, we have to narrow and define what we would mean by a subjective object we are calling a "Lie". ( I cannot think of an objective manifestation of a lie ) Also we have to define what a "Liar" is. The word itself "Lie" has as far as I can r
Lies and lying as a topic.
We all at one time or another speak of lies and of liars, known and suspected. There is no shortage of persons that will offer their opinion that they despise liars and would call lies among the worst if not the very worst things in the world. Less
Decibel...
Decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit to measure sound or electronic signal levels. For the purpose of this blog, I'll use it in audio... sound levels. On another blog, a member will be going to a Formula One race and it's suggested they bring along he

People are online... and it looks like all systems are up!
The US and UK's relations with 'Huawei' are going sour.
The US and UK are placing either restrictions or bans on 'Huawei's' development of 5G phone coverage in those countries. Are those actions to ultimately protect their network security or will the impact be far greater for the UK with the erosion of f
We've been trying to reach you...
A few times a day I receive (robotic) phone solicitation calls to my cellphone offering me discounted healthcare programs and the recording starts with "We've been trying to reach you..." along with that is their takeaway "This is our last attempt to
Internet Speed Test...
I'm at my home house in Miami for the weekend. Plans include sorting through 2 closets and 2 dressers of clothing to determine what I get to keep, what gets donated and what becomes rags for cleaning. My laptop came for the ride and I've g
