Lord British is a robot!
Lifehacker does a "How I Work" series and asks people about their hacks, battle stations, tools, etc. They recently interviewed Richard Garriott aka Lord British. I had not thought about Ultima in a long time. And it was interesting to read about his use of a tele-presence robot.

Ham Licenses
It's been a year since I posted an update on the Ham licenses chart.
Up: Extra, General, Tech, and Total
Up: Extra, General, Tech, and Total
This is a high water mark for all three classes and overall licenses. Total was 748,136 at the end of 2017.
Down: Advanced and Novice
Advanced and Novice will only go down since no new licenses are being issued for these classes.

Hero Forge
Pretty cool... Hero Forge - Custom Miniatures.
They will send you the 3D printer file, or 3D print your design for you, or even create a bronze or steel miniature.
I designed this one with just a few clicks.

Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse Book 1) Kindle Edition
I bought the Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse Book 1) a few years ago. My only complaint about the book is that you'll end up buying the others in the series. (It's been fun watching the series on Syfy and I'll follow it to Amazon Video.)
Right now, you can get the Kindle version for $2.99.
