My vanity call sign application just went through! I'm now officially W7APK on the radio! I even made a website in the "classic" style that I've seen on so many other ham's websites: https://w7apk.com/ I'll be expanding the website as I continue experimenting on the radio!

Anyone know of a place that can custom print a mini 3x6" vanity license plate? I want to find a place that can do an aluminum plate with embossed letters like a real plate. Most of the online ones either have terrible stock designs or are only plastic.

Passed the Amateur Radio "General" exam tonight! Tried for the Extra license despite not studying for it, and only got half the questions right. Going to go back next month and take the Extra exam after properly studying for it! New Year's Day is the next exam! Anyone else want to join the party?

The @KmikeyM 2016 Annual Shareholder Meeting is streaming live! https://www.facebook.com/177017025698939/videos/1205444136189551/

Used my new whip antenna to check in to the ARES net tonight! Lots of new people tonight too.

Just found this amazing Youtube series that explains electric circuit concepts through 3D visualizations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukBFPrXiKWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozeYaikI11g

I really don't like riding in elevators with dogs

Testing syndicating to Twitter from my own instance of https://silo.pub hosted at https://silopub.p3k.io!

Only clocked 2.5 hours at my computer last week. Can't wait to be done moving.

Day 1 with the new Instant Pot and I'm already super impressed. Turns out steaming potatoes vs boiling them keeps all the starch and makes super creamy mashed potatoes!

Whoa, TIL that Palm's WebOS lives on in current LG TVs!

Well the cat and my computer are moved to the new place. I can be done now, right?

If you're in Portland and interested in learning about PGP encryption, you should come to tonight's Beer of Trust key-signing party! http://calagator.org/events/1250471094

If you don't have a PGP key yet, it'll be a great chance to chat with people and learn about PGP and how to use the various tools. Bring a laptop and try setting one up at the event!

Serious question: What are the good parts about Facebook for you? What do you get real value from on Facebook?

Example and counterexample of what I'm looking for: "I like seeing pictures of my friends' cats" is an appropriate answer. "All my friends are on it" is not an appropriate answer, since there is no inherent value of having all your friends on it.

I do enjoy a short trip to the east coast. I can stay out til 11:30 and still go to bed before 9.

odd moment of realization that Amazon probably has the best data on my home address history #moving
