I’ve been accepted into the Bristlemouth Pioneer Program. I’ve been granted a SOFAR Spotter with a Development Kit. I want to build a system capable of autonomously recording whale song (and other ocean data).

I left Facebook to get away from all the hate. But there’s community information there I find valuable and so I signed up again (after years away). And my account is suspended! Somehow I didn’t follow their community standards EVEN BEFORE I LOGGED IN! I can tell you that all I ever did was leave Facebook and delete my account there. I certainly never “violated thier community standards” (as if they really have them with the hate they promote).
My son graduated from CU Boulder with a BS in Aerospace Engineering. I am so proud!
I did it. I went total Linux on the Desktop again. Full blown beast of a real machine, and am getting a Lenovo X1 Carbon for travel.
Apple moved things around in the Network tab in System Settings. Here’s how to set network order.
Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900-1986), the “Father of the Nuclear Navy,” was controversial. He taught a whole generation of the best Engineers. Some of my thoughts on this.
I’ve left Twitter. You should too.
