2 Million Served

As of a few minutes ago, that's two million page views - despite a dearth of significant blogging in recent months.

Two million in five years.

New Tech Demographics

W0LTM/K0NR did a survey of new technicians to capture some demographics. To sum up, almost 90% of the new techs are 30+ and they got their license because zombies. Or, something like that.

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.

Random Windows 10 Hint

If you want an application to show up in the Start Menu's Most Used list... don't pin it to the Start Menu as a tile. I like the Most Used for things like Excel, so you can then access pinned documents from it.

Experience

Dilbert on "Experience."

Mine vs. Yours

K0NR:

"We need to get the religion out of ham radio. No, I am not talking about the HF nets that support missionaries or similar activities. (Those people might actually be doing something good for the world.) I am talking about the religious debates concerning new technology…this technology is better than that technology."

 "What other religious debates are out there? Android versus iOS, Open Source Software versus Commercial Software, My favorite rig versus Your favorite rig, … what else?"

A few come to mind...

.45 vs. 9mm (or whatever)
Glock vs 1911 (or whatever)
AK-47 vs. AR-15
SEC vs. Other Football Conference
Coke vs. Pepsi
Ford vs. Chevy
Beans vs. No Beans in Chili
Manhattan vs. New England Clam Chowder

Halloween Costume

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