Telnet Star Wars

So there was the Star Wars traceroute... now you can see A New Hope in ASCII via telnet. Telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl.

Secret Marathon

If you don't tell anyone, it's just a long run.



And I forgot to mention I did Ragnar this last weekend. Two hundred-ish miles as a team over about a 30 hour period. No sleep. Spending lots of time in a van. And my first leg was up a mountain. Good times.

Experience

Halloween Costume

The scariest part of this is the idea of a sexy ham costume.

Ouch

Painfully funny.

BaoFeng Buys Tokyo High Power Labs

On the Onion of Ham Radio:

"BaoFeng (the marketing name for PoFung Technologies) has purchased the remaining assets from the holding administrator representing Tokyo High Power Labs." 

"Details are still a little sketchy, but the rumored HF Transceivers are reportedly being labeled:

• BaoFeng Hurricane (SDR with knobs, 250 watt all band transceiver)

• BaoFeng Tornado (SDR with knobs, 400 watt all band transceiver)

• BaoFeng Tsunami (SDR no front panel, 100 watt all band transceiver)"

"We could not verify at this moment, but the suggested retail price for the Tsunami is $180.00 US."

"I remember the time when you knew which radio was better because it weighed more. Nowadays all radios are light, because they all have computers inside and nothing more."
