I'm working on the technical article for the upcoming issue. The issue has a 1960s, groovy theme. So, I'm doing an article on radio. Radio is one of those things that can get very technical and complex. But I'm hoping to explain it in a very approachable, intuitive way. I see for example a lot of the interest in meshtastic and reticulum, which is great! But I feel the struggle sometimes to resonate with the core ideas. For example, why does this antenna work here and not there. Why can I hear you now but not later etc... So hopefully what I'm preparing can help with some of that. And as always, a fun interactive exercise.

Other people are now writing antiwar poetry on substack! We have two now, it three people, can you imagine three people writing antiwar poetry, write we'd have a movement!

The Invention of Color

Anti-war poem

Tune in, Drop out. A media poem by me. #poetry Transmitting continuously a pirate station, jammed by overpowering neighbors, obnoxious broadcasters, but the signal faintly persists — stronger when you are near. With fine adjustments you focus your attention, sinusoidal waves resonate through your antenna — you hear yourself, as the noise fades away.

Currently cutting this tape. Turn on, Tune in, Opt out. I think @Juraj even gave a nice talk about this. How'd you "orange summer" go everyone?
