Have been battling WiFi connectivity issues on my workhorse Win 10 desktop PC for a couple of months. No wired connection available in my studio space. I've had a long suspicion #WindowsUpdate broke my #WiFi. #Realtek WiFi card. Couldn't even update Win 10.
I broke down and bought a #TPLink dongle this evening. So far WiFi has been stable. Now dealing with a bazillion updates on software & drivers, including Windows. I might be back in production next week. On top of that, I am wrestling with whether to stay a #Vlogger.
Being a one-man show (Really wish I had a co-host) I'm torn over whether to continue #vlogging on YouTube or go back to #Audio #Podcasting or a mix of both. Not a lot of spare time...but I think I could pull it off.
At any rate, that's the latest.
Thank you for listening.
Dan

AWEA: Okla. wind generating capacity jumped nearly 13% in 2017
Oklahoma
was one of four states to source at least 30% of its electricity needs
from wind in 2017, during which it increased its installed wind capacity
850 megawatts, or nearly 13%, according to the American Wind Energy
Association. Wind Coalition Oklahoma Director Mark Yates touted the
state's impressive wind assets and corresponding ability to attract
Fortune 500 companies.

Thoughts on the quantum brain by a long-time friend, Eric James:
"Interesting. There's no doubt that the brain/mind is much more than what it appears to be. Things like imagination and inspiration, instincts and reflexes, conscious and subconscious (& unconscious) awareness, etc... Are great mysteries. I'm glad that this is being explored by scientists, but even if they don't have these answers already, would they be willing to share such knowledge with the general public?
I personally would like to know how consciousness is intertwined with life and death.
What level of unconsciousness results in death?
Or
What level of consciousness is needed for life, and subsequently self awareness?
For someone in a coma or vegetative state, can they be reached subconsciously or are they self aware?Answers that can be unlocked by the scientists research. But again, I don't think they would release this information fully. But I am hopeful." - My response is in the video.
Commentary on the season two premier of Westworld on HBO is in the video.

Video & Audio - MWGIC-EP-00040: Art Bell The Original Voice Of The American Night
Show Notes:
Art Bell was an original. He opened up the night for me, brought subjects I'd only dreamt of being discussed on the US Airwaves to life. He's the reason I've read many of the things I've read, and why I chose this podcast/videocast topic structure. Art Bell passed away on Friday the 13th of April at the age of 72. This is my tribute to an American original. Show notes include links to multiple archives of Art's broadcasts.
