Solder, wireless, and wingless birds

Here's a few more sites for your viewing and listening pleasure:

Solder Smoke: Ham radio and homebrew podcast. I've gone through a few episodes, and they get better as they go, although admittedly a good bit of it is over my head.

Wireless Networking in the Developing World: The free PDF available from this site is a great primer on everything 802.11 from basic radio physics to access points, antennas, and more.

Finally, an interesting piece. In Israel, an F-15 was involved in a midair collision with another aircraft. The F-15 lost the right wing and _still_ managed to land. The pictures are completely jaw dropping. Amazing. (warning, some popups).
