Video - MWGIC-EP-00076: Coming Tech Revolution & Great Book Of Blizzard
Watch on YouTube:
Show Notes:
"Windows Update foibles, why your power button looks like binary code, how electronics translate electricity to information, several tech revolutions happening in the next five years, free poetry chapbook the great book of blizzard"
Microsoft Pulls Windows 10 Version Update:
https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/6/17944966/microsoft-windows-10-october-2018-update-documents-deleted-issues-windows-update-paused
Windows Update Deletes HP Audio Drivers:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/windows-10-update-1803-no-sound/508d6f23-80ba-4775-a678-33f6ea573c1f
Why Is A power Button Symbol A Zero With A One Stuck In It?:
"For a CMOS gate operating at a power supply voltage of 5 volts, the acceptable input signal voltages range from0 volts to 1.5 volts for a “low” logic state, and 3.5 volts to 5 volts for a “high” logic state."
HIGH = 1 = ON
LOW = 0 = OFF
Binary 1 = +3.5 - +5 VDC = ON
Binary 0 = 0 VDC - + 1.5 VDC = OFF
128|064|032|016|008|004|002|
000|000|000|000|000|000|000|
000|000|000|000|000|000|000|00
000|000|000|000|000|000|001|

000|000|000|000|001|000|000|00
000|001|000|000|001|000|000|
If you were to read the voltages in a memory chip address, there would be a series of 1's & 0's, with the 1's represented by a voltage of +3.5 to +5 volts, and the zeroes represented by a voltage of 0 to + 1.5 Volts. You would need a REALLY tiny voltmeter probe, but that's what would be in the chip.
Ones are ON, zeroes are OFF.
Now look at the symbol on your power button. You have the choice of ON or OFF. One or Zero.

The Great Book Of Blizzard:
Preface to "The Great Book Of Blizzard":
The Poetry that is contained in these pages is the result of a lifetime spent mostly in places with real Winter; The Great Lakes for the most part, yet also the Great Plains, the Rockies of Colorado, and even mid-North Texas and Northern New Mexico.
In the face of Climate Change, I wanted to save and preserve what it was like to live in these places in the era of actual Winters.
Many of these poems are what I like to call “Poetic Memoir,” and are based on real events in my life. Some are simply fantasy based on a lifetime of experience with snow and Winter...real Winters.
Although I have lived in Southern California for four years as of the completion of this compilation in 2018, never forget that I am a native of Wisconsin who spent fifty years in the Midle West of these United States of America. My family still lives there, and lives with snow.
For those of you who find snowy Winters a novelty, or know it not at all, I hope this book can give you a deeper understanding of what it was like.
What so many forget is that almost everything in nature needs a period of rest and renewal before the busy regrowth of Springtime. Even humanity needs – and mostly neglects – quiet time to turn inward, reflect, and recharge.
Thank you for reading.
With love and light,
Daniel A. Stafford

Video - MWGIC Episode - 00061: Thank You Subscribers & A Bit Of Soapbox
Show Notes:
OMG this video recording software is crap. I have yet to find something bullet-proof on Linux. However, I can't trust the Windows machine not to crash in the middle of recording, which is even worse. I'm working on it. A bit to say tonight, I hope you all get a chuckle, but thank you to my real subscribers.

Climate change is linked to tectonic plate movement
Scientists always thought tectonic movements affect climate because it creates new mountains and trenches in the sea. The opposite is is also true.

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.
