Dan and I made a wireless Skype phone. Now I can walk around the house while I talk to people on Skype.
I installed this USB high-power wireless panel at my grandma's house, so she can get Internet access from a neighbor. In exchange for Jellies & Jams, of course.

A research team led by INL Chief Wireless Scientist Hussein Moradi has developed a wireless technology platform that identifies and utilizes available spaces in the radio frequency spectrum that are not occupied by other signals.
Camp Evans
Wall Township, NJ
Camp Evans is a former military base associated with Fort Monmouth, in the U.S. State of New Jersey. It is located in Wall Township, although it is often said to be located in Belmar (its postal zip code is Belmar's, although it lies outside the borough). The property overlooks the Shark River.
Camp Evans is named after Lt. Col. Paul Wesley Evans of the Signal Corps, who worked in the development of wireless transmission at the Belmar Station in the early 20th century. After World War I, Evans was reassigned to the Panama Canal Zone as the presiding Signal Officer.
The original buildings were built by the American Marconi Company under a contract to the J.G. White Engineering Corp. between 1912 and 1914 as part of Guglielmo Marconi's "Wireless Girdle" around the Earth. It was then known as the Belmar Station.
The Belmar Station served as Marconi's receiving station, "Duplexed" with his New Brunswick high power transmitting station. An operator in Wall keyed the New Brunswick transmitter, 32 miles to the northwest, through a landline connection. Edwin Armstrong and David Sarnoff tested and perfected the regenerative circuit at the Wall site, on the night of January 31/February 1, 1914.
The #Qi #charging has become so ubiquitous. In this scenario, the companies are going an extra mile to develop the charging solutions in order to stand out among competitors. One such company which is producing high quality charger is the #X-Doria. The Qi dual charger produced by X-Doria is the Defense. This charger is made from high quality luxury materials.
Looking at the design of this charger, it is a no brainer that it is made to wirelessly charge an iPhone and a set of AirPods simultaneously. The place where you can charge the #AirPods is a small pad on the right side of the charger.
The pad for the AirPods is nested just behind the line of the panel on which the #iPhone is charged. It is a very smart move because it allows you to place your phone in portrait position. In such case, the AirPods hide behind the iPhone.
On the front side of the charger, there are small lights that let you know when the phone is being charged. In many opinions, these lights may be a bit annoying for the people who want to use this device as bedside phone charger.
The quality of design of this charger is maintained with the help of anodized aluminum. The small perch for the AirPods is covered with the silicon while iPhone charger is covered with the genuine leather pad.
The footprint of this charger is quite smaller. You will be surprised when you will look at it from a side. It is going to look like a price of leather placed on the top of the metal sheet. The nice tapering on the back creates a nice illusion of a very thin charger.
An additional USB-A output is also present at the back side of this charger. The major benefit of this USB output is that it lets you charge other devices such as Apple Watch or Apple watch charger.
The USB-C is also present on the charger. This is basically the input port for the charger. This charger comes with a 10W power brick and a 10-feet long USB-C cable.
I avoided ordering it from the Apple store because it had a 2 week wait, and Cancom only had a 6 day wait. So I ordered it from Cancom. 5 weeks later is arrives!
A few features: cap lock accidentally tap prevention. Feature keys, like exposé and playback control in the F* keys.
Something that was unexpected, I think because the old keyboard had a number pad, I find myself over compensating to the right on the keyboard. Perhaps it's just because it's new!

Taken for the group MacroMondays, this weeks theme, Frustration.
This was the perfect theme for me this week. My MacBook, after connecting to the wireless perfectly for the last two years, has suddenly decided that it does not want to do it anymore. It either tells me the password is incorrect or that the connection has timed out. I can't not find out how to fix this anywhere on the interwebs, and I'm getting closer and closer to throwing the computer out the window and then following shortly thereafter.
So this is my airport express, blinking amber, because it can't connect to anything.
Demonstration of a wireless loop connected to a video monitor in the waiting room of my audiologist, Joan Chesick, at W.N.C. Ear, Nose and Throat doctors, Asheville, NC. This is a marvelous--and simple–technology allowing a hard-of-hearing person whose hearing aids are fitted with an inexpensive telecoil (or T-coil) to pick up broadcast or amplified sound very effectively by a better method than the usual. The hearing loop (a hidden copper wire circling the auditorium, church, room, other space) is linked to the PA system. Your ears receive the sound as clearly as if the speaker is sitting next to you. A loop can also be set up in your own home and connected to the TV or music system.
If you wear hearing aids, or are thinking of getting them, BE SURE to talk to your audiologist about getting a telecoil in your aids and TURNING IT ON. I'm an advocate! Read more here:

Anyone remember the inside of our wireless cabin, single story next to the control tower? I'm on the ATC circuit where flight plans were transmitted on this circuit and actual time of departure (ATD), was sent to all the other route stations as the wheels of the aircraft left the ground. Notice all the labels indicating circuit names are turned away from the camera - just our contribution to the cold war security. We almost always had interference from Russian wireless stations which operated on the same frequency.
However the wireless operator fraternity were sympathetic to each other, there was more than one occasion when life was threatened, a message had to get through requesting an aircraft for medivac, or taking a mayday from ship grounded on the tip of the island (World Jury), I asked the Russian w/op operator to stop transmitting while I sent an urgent message, HM...HM…HM..de MRQ PSE QRT AS AR seem to stop them giving me QRM (interference from their transmission).
I don’t think the CO liked us talking to our opposite number in Russia, using the ‘Q’ code and international universal abbreviations as well as the military 'Z' code, (which they shouldn't know anything about), you could develop a reasonable conversation with any other w/op, whether or not they could understand the english language!!!
International morse code for 'Emergency Silence' is HM in morse . . . . _ _ sent three times before station identifier, all stations on frequency will always stop transmitting and start listening, even those at war... well cold war anyway.
I and other enthusiasts also operated as VS9OC from the Masirah Radio Shack, the very nicely painted sign depicting a transmitting Antenna Tower and the Callsign were expertly painted by SAC John (or Keith) Taylor.
J/T John Bleazard and I 'found' a 1509 transmitter, John being the expert, installed and maintained it, as well as operating from the same callsign, we used an old HRO receiver for listening on both W/T and R/T reception, see the Radio Shack on John's Link -

About the World Jury - an Extract from
www.rquirk.com/med/244sqn/244news/244newsn04.pdf
Monsoons and shallow waters have brought a virtual graveyard of wrecks around the island. The most spectacular probably being the tanker "World Jury", which ran aground off the southern tip of the island in 1961.
Difficulties with the monsoon and looting plagued the salvage efforts. The vessel eventually broke in two and was abandoned. A near neighbour of mine told me that he worked as catering staff in Masirah in the early fifties. He helped with work on a wreck, and was surprised and delighted to receive a substantial cheque from the salvage authorities!

This is a prototype of the optional Bluetooth-based cordless version of the Apple Mouse released in 2003 alongside with a matching wireless keyboard. This was Apple's first cordless mouse.
The bottom of the mouse is marked, "Prototype" and "NOT FOR SALE." And there's a sticker on the bottom which appears to say, "EVTb" on it.
Different from the production version, the bottom has an Apple logo on it and it states, "Assembled In Japan."
This chain has been disappearing for years and is likely to be entirely gone by the end of 2014.

Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles (19 km) west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike, who was unable to reach the summit. The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude.[2][3]
History
The first European-American to climb the peak came 14 years after Pike, in the summer of 1820. Edwin James, a young student who had just graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont, signed on as the relief botanist for Stephen Harriman Long's expedition after the first botanist had died. The expedition explored the South Platte River up as far as present-day Denver, then turned south and passed close to what James called "Pike's highest peak." James and two other men left the expedition, camped on the plains, and climbed the peak in two days, encountering little difficulty. Along the way, James was the first to describe the blue columbine, Colorado's state flower.
Gold was discovered in the area of present-day Denver in 1858, and newspapers referred to the gold-mining area as "Pike's Peak." Pike's Peak or Bust became the slogan of the Colorado Gold Rush (see also Fifty-Niner). This was more due to Pikes Peak's visibility to gold seekers traveling west across the plains than any actual significant gold find anywhere near Pikes Peak. Major gold deposits were not discovered in the Pikes Peak area until the Cripple Creek Mining District was discovered southwest of Pikes Peak and led, in 1893, to one of the last major gold rushes in the lower 48 states.
In July 1860, Clark, Gruber and Company commenced minting gold coins in Denver bearing the phrase "Pike's Peak Gold" and an artist's rendering of the peak (sight unseen) on the obverse. In 1863, the U.S. Treasury purchased the minting equipment for $25,000 to open the Denver Mint.
Julia Archibald Holmes and James Holmes traveled to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado in 1858, and reached the summit on August 5, with J. D. Miller and George Peck, making Archibald Holmes the first European-American woman to climb Pikes Peak. From the summit, she wrote in a letter to her mother: "Nearly everyone tried to discourage me from attempting it, but I believed that I should succeed; and now here I am, and I feel that I would not have missed this glorious sight for anything at all.”[8][9]
Thirty-five years later, in July 1893, Katharine Lee Bates wrote the song "America the Beautiful", after having admired the view from the top of Pikes Peak. It appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, on July 4, 1895. A plaque commemorating the words to the song was placed at the summit.
During 1899, the Serbian physicist Nikola Tesla built his first working version of the Magnifying Transmitter in his laboratory some kilometers away from Colorado Springs, up in Pike's Peak, where he worked on his idea of wireless energy transmission and investigated the ionosphere and the telluric currents in the planets.[10] Here, he proved that Earth is a good conductor, and he produced artificial bolt of 40 meters and millions of volts.[11] He stated that during this year he discovered the Earth' stationary waves.[12]
On July 17, 1913 William Wayne Brown drove his car, the Bear Cat, 20 miles to the summit.[13][14] The ascent took 5 hours and 28 minutes.
The uppermost portion of Pikes Peak, above 14,000 feet (4,300 m) elevation, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.[15][16]
Pikes Peak was the home of a ski resort from 1939 until 1984.[17]

I've recently noticed these radomes appearing on streetlight and power masts around San Francisco. They're marked as belonging to "ExteNet Systems".
Obviously they're part of some kind of wireless network infrastructure; anyone know which one?
