If you tune to 28.265 MHz, you might hear this: VE3WE CW Beacon. It’s only broadcasting at five watts, so if you’re really far, you might not hear it. The message it is transmitting is “SCARBOROUGH AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BEACON, REPORTS TO WWW.VE3WE.ORG 73″. It does this once a minute.

There’s a reports page: CW Beacon Â« Scarborough Amateur Radio Club. Although I basically live next door, I’ve sent mine in.

truly, the internet is made of cats

After years of carefully crafting comments on MetaFilter for maximal content, value or lulz, my most popular comment by far is about cats and Animal Control. Two subjects that, due to allergies and the relatively docility of aquarium fish respectively, I know nothing about. There’s a moral here, and it’s sitting on your router mewing at you.

Beware the Lexcavator

Lexcavator (groaningly, “a videogame for people who dig words“) is a kinda Boggle/Tetris/Boulder Dash thingy. It’s cross-platform, and cheap, optionally free. You may like it. I find it plays best with keyboard and a Wacom tablet.
