Well it was all good fun that started off with a chilly morning but turned into a gorgeous day!
Video Streaming
This did and did not work as well as planned. I wound up using a service called Ustream.tv. Apparently I set it up too late to get a developers key so I could embed it directly […]
We’re on the road now!
I got about 2 hours of good sleep and a good shot of coffee.
For the streaming video initiative, I’ll be using the free service at UStream (http://www.ustream.tv). For right now you’ll have to go to the page separately since they don’t immediately give out developer API keys. You can go there […]

Well, only 1 day and 15 hours until I leave for Dayton. Once again this year I will be joining my father, KA8SPW and my grandfather, WA8OOH as we trek down.
For the trip down we’ll be connected to the Internet via an slow, but free, GPRS connection and will also be available on APRS as […]
And now a summary of my recent weather geekery…
Wind Speed Software
I am currently working on a new piece of software for InSpeed’s Vortex anemometer. It’s going to be completely written in Python to ensure that it’s platform agnostic. Currently the backend is written to properly read and calculate the wind speed. I’ve cross referenced my […]
