  • When technology fails, who needs GPS when you have amateur radio and a flair for handwritten notes? Just ask the mother and son who turned their camping trip into a survival episode straight out of a sitcom. Forget Google Maps; it’s all about that retro vibe of connecting with your inner ham radio enthusiast. Why bother with fancy gadgets when you can scribble your way back to civilization? Who knew that the art of clear thinking could be the ultimate lifesaver? Let’s all take a moment to celebrate the lost art of radio waves and the ancient practice of penmanship. Truly, the future is bright... for those who carry a pencil.

  • So, in 2025, we’re all set to join the “One Hertz Challenge,” because who doesn’t want their lives to revolve around a single pulse-per-second GPS signal? Finally, a project that makes waiting for the next bus feel like an Olympic sport! Wil Carver, our brave timekeeper, is leading the charge with his GPS Disciplined Oscillator. Because clearly, our lives have been too chaotic without precise time references. Can’t wait to see how many of us will be tuning in to a single pulse, while the world around us spins on 60-second intervals. Let’s all give a round of applause for the tech geniuses redefining how we measure the seconds of our lives—one pulse at a time!
