Side note here.

There's plenty of video doorbells now. Plenty of video security or surveillance equipment for home.
I've enjoyed my RING brand doorbell, but wanted one more camera. Not a camera with a spotlight, not a wireless camera, and not needing recharging. The earlier RING stick-up cameras either needed...
Yes, we're collecting again this year, officially November 12th-16th, but locations are already on the list for dropping off of things in West-Central Michigan, and to keep up, we've created this blog page. Please refer back to it frequently, as information will grow as will our thanks to many...

Paul M, who gave me my 5th Birdview satellite system last year was cleaning his house, and found some old docs about Birdview. None were really "technical" but, wow, they bring back memories.
Birdview used to send nice slick heavy-stock promotional color...
we hope!
Thursday on WION may be an "on again off again" day. Let us tell you why:
For everything we do to improve, there's an equal rule or regulation we have to follow. In improving the FM, we have to measure our AM under "night" low power, and readjust the towers back to their FCC licensed...

Are not caused at our studios or the servers.
We normally use Charter as our ISP, but this morning reports came in that our streams were down. Charter's upload capabilities were below minimal.
We switched to our backup DSL, and found it slightly better, but it's still having...
As with large agency-handled advertising and large organizations, not much lead-time was given for this local food drive via our postal carriers. It's this weekend. Please do what you can to help others, won't you? WION wishes that those handling the advertising for events like this would get a...

I hope I'm not tempting fate by writing this..but, if you were so bored as to search my posts of a few years and a few seasons, you'd see me with the same problem now and then...flaky performance of both my MicroHD Amiko mini HD receivers. Basically, now and then the existing channels would...

So, a couple nights back, Jim Carlyle rented a movie from Amazon, a sequel to a favorite, ("The Man From Earth") and the sequel was disappointing at best, coloring the main character as a darker person at the movie's end. It also included some incredibly average acting, though the idea OF a...
