[Kzyxtalk] Shook.

Subject: Shook

/"So you insulted them. There goes the mining agreement. There's an old 
saying among my people: Never use a Star Trek solution for a Babylon 5 
problem. And if you want something from the natives of a particular 
locale, cutting down their sacred tree or meddling with their 
lizard-god's asteroid-deflecting monument or having sex with their 
larvae or eating their larvae and chewing with your mouth open is 
probably not a good idea. Luckily there are other planets with naquadah 
in the crust that we might be able to get to before the Cylons or the 
Xindi or the Khachaturians run us down. I'll be in my bunk."/

The recording of last night's (2021-07-16) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg is right here:

[I got a late start today so I'm shortcutting the process and posting 
this without frills. Check back again later tonight for those frills. In 
awhile, after I get finished with some stuff I don't feel like talking 
about, there will be a frill or two here, and a number of corrections, 
and an explanation to last night's listeners as to why whole chunks of 
the on-air show were replaced by random automation music, harrumph. (The 
recording is made in the studio and so contains the entire uninterrupted 
show.)]

[Edit: Ya know what? Who cares. This is fine. I'll call Bob tomorrow to 
talk about robustifying the system, and get that fixed (sigh). 
Everything was working so well for so long without a hitch. Maybe the 
machinery just feels the need to be touched. Maybe it's the current 
solar storm activity gaziggling the chips. Maybe it's whimsical 
sabotage. It ain't the end of the world... Molly, I got the book, 
thanks. Mervin, I'm sorry, I thought the guy on the phone was you; I 
don't know who it was. And to whom it may concern, I left the thumb 
drive with the Caspar event video files on the amplifier or the rack; 
look around, it's there. See yez next week.]

BESIDES ALL THAT, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the 
show together. Such as, for instance:

Infrared art photographs. "These were created using military imaging 
technology, this time a thermal heat camera that can detect body heat 
from 30m away and is illegal under international law." Well, /that/ 
guy's in trouble. (via Neatorama)

A kind of calligraphy. Juanita can do this.

Speaking of which, this is fracking adorable. (You might have to click 
the sound on.) (via Everlasting Blort)
