I write about things learned during my career in the airline industry, living and flying in the U.S. and abroad. Read my books to learn ways we can use information technology to improve our lives. I always keep a note-taking app open to write about useful knowledge and how to share it with readers. "I enjoy writing those small, compact, but meaty handbooks which help people do things to make their lives better. The picture books are a favorite of mine. Come on - who doesn't love a stunning sunrise or to tiptoe among the anvil tops? Alan Bean was totally correct, that "we're still in the Garden." Books about the WebSDR, RTLSDR and KiwiSDR technologies come from my experience as a licensed amateur and commercial radio operator. It is amazing how one can be anywhere in the world but tune in live broadcasters somewhere else. I'll show you how to do it even when official streaming sites are blocked. SDRs are real radios, so you need technical know how on where to tune and setting up proper modes and filters. Internet SDRs help dictators fail: "I lived for a while in a place where BBC and VOA radio broadcasts were jammed, and their websites blocked. With KiwiSDRs, I could stream AM radio to my smart phone from a receiver in London - or New York, totally evading the censors. Freedom expands, friends. Information wants to be free. Know that. It is thermodynamic." The book, "Censorship's Grave" comes from my experience working within countries with heavy censorship and becoming an expert at circumventionism. The surprising truth is how censorship has failed (and the dictators know it). Yet, there are Western politicians who want to block websites in the USA. Read the book to learn how mass communication technology, since the printing press, defeated censorship. Red state book banners have zero chance of eliminating knowledge they don't like. I am enthusiastic about free and open source software and have published popular operating systems based on GNU/Linux.
