I know, the timing is weird.
Victor Franco ported my published sources for Glider 4.0 to the modern MacOS and, yes, we have another Glider game for the Mac.
It's faithful to the original Glider 4.0 that came out in 1990. (And it's free.)

Original AOL icons with Apple logos on them!
Random SyQuest disk find of the day:
AOL for Macintosh source code from 1993!?
Whaaatttt?! 😳
Look at those original icons with the Apple logo in them!

Fram2Ham: SSTV Image Handling The Fram2Ham SSTV transmissions are part of a STEM contest. Here’s how to handle your images: Do: Upload captures to ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV ASAP. They’ll stay private until the mission ends. Don’t: Post to social media until we give the all-clear. The image includes a "FRAM2" logo with five figures in white suits, a snowy landscape with a puzzle overlay, and an ARISS/ISS logo, set against a grid background.
Expect Fram2Ham SSTV transmissions to start later today, so be ready to monitor your passes.
Please remember you’re listening in on a STEM contest for students.
Share your images to the ARISS image gallery, but please don’t share them on social media until after the event!

It's a small victory but I just got the last confirmed contact I needed for the Worked All States CW award!
I started learning morse code almost 2 years ago and never thought I would hit this milestone, but it's such a fun mode.

A slightly grainy Slow Scan TV Picture received from the International Space Station. The image is captioned "2024 Highights: ARISS - Japan" and pictures an artist rendition of a Japanese lunar lander.
Most of the good ISS passes have been very late at night for me, but I was able to catch this image in the morning. These SSTV events have been a great benchmark on what I need to improve with my antenna system for future satellite attempts. #hamradio

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will make history during a flight around the Sun on Christmas Eve.
"No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker will truly be returning data from uncharted territory."
The What's New in DLARC column in the Zero Retries newsletter talks about archiving the Japanese language "Ham's Radio" podcast, newly digitized material from the estate of satellite television pioneer Bob Cooper, and many new newsletter scans www.zeroretries.org/i/152685395/... #hamradio

Two very photogenic eruptions of plasma from the eastern edge of the Sun this morning! Neither are Earth-directed.

Nature is awesome.
