We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?
In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

So I like to make intentionally bad keyboards, in part because of my unfulfilled blood feud with mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, but mainly because I like being a chaos gremlin.

So, one week later, I hear that today is indeed the final day of NOAA 15 (from a Facebook group, admittedly, but the timings make sense - today was meant to be the day for NOAA 19).
One last APT recording, then - 19-8-2025 9.52.56.
I have packed the antenna away.
