in reply to Tom5921 # - @therealizzy @donmcallister @spotify @rdio I love rdio – and am a subscriber. But I think Spotify might beat it for social and speed. in reply to therealizzy #
- @stormin You hate Google that much? What do you use for search? in reply to stormin #
- @donmcallister @paulshadwell I apologize for my dreadful accent. God save the Queen! in reply to donmcallister #

- Thanks @Chief717c I'm so excited about becoming a ham – a whole world of new things to learn. And new gear to buy! in reply to Chief717c #
- Thanks @TiChall – now for my first radio. Gordo WB6NOA suggests the Kenwood TH-D72. You agree? in reply to TiChall #

- @MartinJohnson Not at all – companies would compete to create the best products. Best for users. Lawsuits only benefit lawyers. in reply to MartinJohnson #
- @MartinJohnson All innovation builds on what came before. No progress happens without it. Lawsuits over patents impede progress. in reply to MartinJohnson #

- @Disaster_Guy @chief717c Absolutely. I've already inquired! in reply to Disaster_Guy #
- @reckless @martinjohnson I'm all for patents – the question is do _software_ patents make sense. I think there's a strong case against. in reply to reckless #
- Thank you @ramsubramanyam @reckless @martinjohnson – the prosecution rests. in reply to ramsubramanyam #
- Actually @reckless @reneritchie pagerank is patented. Expires in 2017 in reply to reckless #
- @ppratik96 The big problem is that if a show doesn't take off at the start it's really hard to build audience later. in reply to ppratik96 #

It’s official. The FCC has assigned me my new call sign: KJ6QGP. I immediately applied for a vanity call sign.

My new HT radios have arrived from HRO: The Kenwood TH-D72A and Icom IC-92AD. I’ve turned them on and off a bunch of times but am too afraid to do anything else.
These handy-talkies are dual-band: VHF/UHF, the frequencies most suitable for Technicians. And since there are lots of FM repeaters in the mountains near Petaluma, there’s lots I can do with them. Not that I have yet.
I bought the Icom because it does D-Star, a packet-based digital voice and data protocol that’s new and gaining popularity. The Kenwood was Gordon West WB6NOA’s recommendation because it supports APRS, IRLP, Echo-Link and other popular digital technologies.
One of these days I’ll actually give them a try.

I passed the Technician exam at the MDARC meeting in Lafayette! I am officially a ham. I’ll be back next month to take the General exam.
Here I am with the Volunteer Examiners after passing. Great bunch of guys!

Radio corner at the new TWiT Brick House Studios – note the lack of actual radios but one genuine, soon-to-be, ham.
