Have been studying aerials pretty closely as I finish up my new map and thought this was kind of cool. You can actually see individual people. Do you recognize any cars? :D https://boydsmaps.com/#19/39.68478/-74.79121/njgin2015 There's a nice drone shot of the fields in this article...

I noticed problems early this morning when I wanted to check something on their site, but just now learned about this. "Smartwatch and wearables maker Garmin has shut down several of its services on July 23 to deal with a ransomware attack that has encrypted its internal network and some...

Have been gathering "interesting" data to include in my new map.... Here are some earthquake epicenters in the pines (click to see full size image). There don't seem to be any in the Southern Pines. More complete/accurate data will be included when I release the full topo later this summer.

"A Gloucester County community has put up for sale the command section of a Cold War-era Nike missile base that was part of the nation’s defenses against an attack by the Soviet Union. The Army abandoned the 33-acre site in Woolwich Township and hundreds of others like it around the country in...

Have run into this twice during the past week, once on my bank's website and the other time at my insurance company. Now, I am completely in favor of confirming my identity when performing an online transaction. But both of these institutions are using the same service that evidently scoops up...

Have been meaning to start a thread on this for awhile, and finally got around to digging through my archives to find these. I bought my first digital camera - a Nikon CoolPix 900 - at Mid-City Camera in Philadelphia on April 2, 1999. Cost was $864.72, which included batteries and a HUGE 32mb...

Here's an odd one.... returned from a walk, heard the fans roaring on my two big UPS units and wondered what was causing a power outage on a nice day. Then I realized the power was still on, but both units refused to go off battery power. Turned them on and off a few times with no difference...

This is a very clever idea.... wonder how well it actually works? Anybody try it? I suppose it also opens up the possibility of a hacker getting your keys though. ;) https://www.mykeyhero.com "KeyHero makes it easy to create a digital backup for your key. Just scan your key at any Home Depot...

I have plenty of complaints about iTunes, and they seem to make it worse with every update, but it's still how I share my media library throughtout my house with about 600 movies, 600 TV shows and thousands of songs that are stored on little server. That could get a lot more difficult without...
