Hacker Public Radio Ep0156: FRS/GMRS Walkie Talkie Review Deepgeek reviews FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies from Radio Shack
(He also waxes nostalgic about CB radio.)
Each week, Make: television will showcase the best projects from Makers who submit their videos, a segment of the show we call Maker Channel.
This segment features the videos made by Makers themselves - a showcase of the “best of the best” of YouTube-style videos. We think this is a great way to see the people behind the projects and we feel it’s important to give a little control of the show back to the viewer. To do this, we need your help!
If you’ve built something inspired, useful, imaginative, ingenious, or just plain clever, share your genius with the world. Produce a one to three minute long video that shows the best thing that you’ve made and send it to us. If it’s really good, we’ll use it on Maker Channel and you’ll revel in glory and admiration, plus you’ll receive a gift certificate to the Maker Shed and a subscription to Make: magazine.
Dig out that vintage AM/FM radio and modify it so you can pick up air traffic control communications.Thanks go to Cy Tymony for the original article in Make Magazine.

Hacker Public Radio Ep0153: What is an algorithm What
is an algorithm?
Review
Question:
Try answering the
follow review question by leaving a comment or answering it in your
head. If you want you can even write it down on paper.
Write an algorithm
for your morning routine. From the time the alarm clock rings until
you leave the house for work or school.
If you're like me and
do not have a job try writing an algorithm on how to write a resume.

Dreams in High Fidelity is a painting that evolves. The artwork was designed and rendered with the Electric Sheep, a cyborg mind composed of 60,000 computers and people mediated by a genetic algorithm. It's one of the few acceptable uses of \"crowd sourcing\" I can think of :)
Physically it consists of a small computer driving a large high definition display. The computer creates a continuously morphing, non-repeating, abstract animation. It is not software that you can download, but a custom configured computer preloaded with a large database.
The animations are rendered by the Electric Sheep, but at triple the resolution and with more stately motion. The image quality is striking on a large display. It requires 20x the computation to make a high fidelity sheep, and it shows.
The artist selects his favorite sheep from the archives and public flock, and sends them back to be re-rendered at high fidelity: heaven for an electric sheep. This new flock has grown to 100GB, totaling 18 hours if played end-to-end, and requiring over 200 years to render on a single computer.
A version of Dreams in High Fidelity is at 3LD for the next two weeks - July 11 - July 26, if you're in the area it's worth checking out (night time-ish is best).
Scott's work is \"open source\" the tools and software can be downloaded by anyone, the \"creatures\" created are in Creative Commons. Similar to open source hardware Scott makes his living by selling a physical version of the art, an installation, this is one of the reasons it's most interesting to me and I think a glimpse of what's to come for digital artists.
