The National Radio Retransmission Legion (NRRL) will release next week an updated version of it’s popular “Ham Radio Operator’s Manual of Operating.” This edition will be a departure from its usually highly technical subject matter.

NES Classic

The NES Classic comes with a nice collection of games. The cord for the controller seems to be too short, but stores still can't keep them on the shelves. I think it might be a good way to introduce my daughter to gaming systems - in contrast to all the tablet and phone games/apps.
