Ten-Tec

Ten-Tec, here in my backyard, is having a change of leadership.  It sounds like they are staying committed to ham radio for now. I've heard some speculate that might not always be the case.

Ham Radio Growth

Ham radio continues to grow in the US - at least in terms of licenses. (This Reddit discussion got me thinking about it.)

Why?

1. Morse code is no longer a barrier to entry.
2. Cheap radios mean cost is not a barrier to entry.
3. The prepper/survivalist movement includes interest in communications.
4. Ham radio on TV!

Running

I ran today. I ran more miles (13) than the temperature this morning (12 degrees American).

At least I didn't have this problem.

Don't Walk

Dance!

50 GB of Box Cloud Storage Free

So I've used Dropbox, SkyDrive, and Google Drive. I'm adding Box to the list since they are offering 50 GB of free storage. I don't put anything sensitive out in the cloud, but 50 GB handles several years worth of pictures.
