Imagery
You all know I obsess over radio antennas, and the imagery that they provide. I’ve found some new sources, so, without further ado… My favorite of these are the ones in Nevada. Who knew there were tall mountains in Nevada? California has a large number of these, and they move around. They use them to…

Geeky Computer Stuff
Do any of you program, like, actually get down and dirty with the code? If so, much respect. I do as well. And after a while, the epiphany hits me square in the face: Learning programming, helps you learn life in general. This will be a bit of a read, but trust me, at the…

The morning
It’s such a nice time, when the sun’s just popping up and it’s a fresh new day. Where I live, it’s quiet save for the river in the yard. It’s my last chance to have some Fred time before the onslaught begins. I just mowed the lawn yesterday, so the yard looks and smells nice.…

You nerd!
Windows or Linux? Don’t get me started. Too late. I got myself started. I’ve learned that we must coexist. It doesn’t have to be ‘or’, it can be ‘and’. I’m a Linux guy, for me, there’s no other way. But, I still have to use Windows. So, there’s one Windows machine in the house, tucked…
