    Henning gone west

    Latest on Henning's boat: PORT TOWNSEND — The auction at Port Townsend Boatyard of the nearly 135-year-old wooden tugboat Elmore drew interest but no bids, putting a vessel with its links to Northwest maritime history closer to salvage and demolition. The Port of Port Townsend put the Elmore...

    This was just a few months ago. Mike was so happy! I believe it was Chuck's cat

    Gone West: Mike Andrews (mikea)

    I did not live far from Mike. He always had a cable or gadget for something I'd be working on and if I started a sentence with "I need to order..." before I'd even finish he would be offering me one for what I needed and a spare for when that one might one day break! As some have said he loved...

    Gone West: Mike Andrews (mikea)

    Grant just called me and said that a couple of hours ago Mike Andrews passed away suddenly. It was just a couple of weeks ago that we were celebrating his 60th birthday. He was a great guy and friend. I have no other information than that right now. I reached out to his wife Joan and I know that...

    New York CITY!

    I've stayed the Hilton Midtown a couple of times. It is nice, albeit crowded, well situated to all the sites. It also is close to a couple of subway stops and of course Uber/Lyft/Taxi never a hard thing to get in Midtown. It is also far enough away from Times Square to get you away from all the...

    iOS 13

    A wise man said "fool me once, shame on you, fool me 13.0 times shame on me" :) FWIW I know some people who used the beta version and generally the comments were good. I have not seen anything I can share publicly about iOS13.0, good or bad so please do noot ask me.

    "...." iPhone status icon?

    It has been going on for a long time! Back when AT&T had a whole campaign around the 3G network, Sprint rolled out WiMAX and called it 4G. AT&T had kittens. For us greybeards we even remember Cingular talking about "Digital Voice Quality" when they rolled out TDMA in the early 90's. I can tell...

    "...." iPhone status icon?

    It is really rushed. If you look at the press, 2019/2020 was supposed to be the early release, but there was a rush in the latter half of 2018 to put out some 5G. Verizon created a proprietary technology that they had hoped would be adopted by the industry, but in the 2015/16 period no one, not...

    "...." iPhone status icon?

    5Ge is NOT 5G is a marketing ploy by ATT to make you think you have 5G. It is nothing but LTE aka 4G technology. https://adage.com/article/digital/5g-stunt-ces-misleading-a-marketing-ploy/316214

    (NOT) Flying into ORD ($$$ pucker)

    If you go around the Bravo to PWK that will eat up a lot of time. FWIW Uber/Lyft from DPA to ORD is about $45 each way. Would you consider risking life and limb flying straight over the lake to PWK? Uber/Lyft there will be cheaper, probably around $25 each way. But you know you engine is far...

    The good news is that 5g is coming and this fall it offers pumpkin spice service!

    "...." iPhone status icon?

    Probably when one of the receivers is scanning and attempting to gain valid service. But still, you have no valid service

    Could I ignite a helium balloon by shooting a model rocket at it?

    Helium (He) is a Noble Gas and is NOT, I repeat NOT FLAMMABLE!
