Midwestern Geek In Cali is a podcast about Technology, Science, Science Fiction, Paranormal, Ancient Mysteries, Super Hero comics and films, Poetry, and last but not least, Entrepreneurship, especially local entrepreneurs. I'm a Wisconsin tech geek transplanted to Temecula, California.
(You can reach out to the CITD Conference Organizers directly via Twitter HERE, & Facebook HERE. Their YouTube channel is located HERE.)
We achieved seven interviews of fascinating guests at the conference, met George Noory (very gracious), saw Erik Von Danniken signing copies of Chariots of the Gods, and several speakers.
Charles got a ton of great still photos, which you can see in the YouTube video.
The setting was beautiful, and we hand a thoroughly enjoyable time. We both hope you will as well watching the video above.
A brief follow-up on the bullet journal, and something I've been thinking about doing for awhile now: my "Whimsical Instruments" segment - I've invented a percussion instrument out of recycled materials that I call the "Coffee Clank." Enjoy!
Mastodon and mammoth bones, saber-tooth cats, giant sloths, dinosaurs, and when the Inland Empire in So-Cal was an ocean. This is a truly fun video tour of the WSC in Hemet.
I get started on my very first "bullet journal" thanks to Midwest
Nerd Chick. I also get into why this idea appeals to me, and hopefully improved my OBS wu.
We saw Apollo 11 tonight. Beautiful work. It's still amazing that we were able to accomplish this in the 1960's. I was in Summer school between 2nd & 3rd grade when it happened. They got just the right parts to capture the feeling of wonder mixed with suspense that we all felt as these missions occurred. Visually rich & gorgeous. 10/10
"CAP owns the largest fleet

172s and 182s, and CAP pilots

"The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a congressionally chartered, federally supported non-profit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF).[3] CAP is a volunteer organization with an aviation-minded membership that includes people from all backgrounds, lifestyles, and occupations. It performs three congressionally assigned key missions: emergency services, which includes search and rescue (by air and ground) and disaster relief operations; aerospace education for youth and the general public; and cadet programs for teenage youth. In addition, CAP has recently been tasked with homeland securityand courier service missions."
"The Civil Air Patrol was conceived in the late 1930s by aviation advocate Gill Robb Wilson, who foresaw general aviation's potential to supplement America's military operations. With the help of New York Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, in his capacity as then-Director of the Office of Civilian Defense, CAP was created with Administrative Order 9, signed by LaGuardia on 1 December 1941 and published 8 December 1941."
"Civil Air Patrol has five congressionally mandated missions:[16]
To provide an organization to encourage and aid citizens of the United States in contributing their efforts, services, and resources in developing aviation and in maintaining air supremacy; and encourage and develop by example the voluntary contribution of private citizens to the public welfare.
To provide aviation education and training especially to its senior and cadet members.
To encourage and foster civil aviation in local communities.
To provide an organization of private citizens with adequate facilities to assist in meeting local and national emergencies.
To assist the Department of the Air Force in fulfilling its non-combat programs and missions.
The organization condenses these mandates into three core missions, which Civil Air Patrol was chartered with by Congress in 1946: aerospace education, cadet programs and emergency services.[17][18]"
• ITU ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU ) Standards -15 & -16 will represent Phase I & Phase II rollouts of 5G standards. -15 (Phase I) is due to be finalized in April of 2019. -16 (Phase II) is due for finalization in April of 2020.
• I have not as-yet been able to locate specification standard transmitter power levels for 5G RF transmitters. I suspect that's because the ITU standards are not finalized yet.
• It would appear that mobile carriers are labeling their own proprietary technologies as "5G" in some cases, but that these early "5G" are not necessarily going to be representing "standardized" 5G network technologies. This sounds like a nightmare for governmental regulating entities to monitor and control. AT&T has in the past couple of days (as of 01/08/2019) been a notorious example, simply rolling out a software update to existing 4G phones that changes the network icon to show as 5G-E with NO change in the abilities of their phones or their networks.

MWGIC EP-00085: 5G Fears - Are They True? Inspired by a Facebook post from a prior co-worker and friend of mine, MWGIC will begin a series of episodes looking into what 5G is, what the fears about 5G are, and then digging deeper into each aspect of the subject. This episode lays the foundation for the series.
