Leveraging Some Vintage Telescope Technology for Sky Surveillance and FAA FOIA Requests with a Technical Guide

The growing interest in identifying and tracking aerial objects, particularly those classified as unidentified flying objects (UFOs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has inspired individuals and organizations to explore innovative methods for sky surveillance. One practical approach involves adapting motorized telescopes with RS232 ports and USB cameras to track and record moving objects in the sky. Using a Debian Linux-powered laptop, this setup offers a robust and affordable solution for monitoring, documenting and analyzing aerial phenomena. The ultimate goal of such efforts is to provide actionable evidence for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aiding in the determination of these objects’ origins. The first step in this process involves configuring the telescope’s RS232 port to communicate with the laptop, ensuring…

Peter Gabriel’s “The Court” as a Mirror of Compromise…

Peter Gabriel’s “The Court” resonates deeply with my observations into the dark-side of societal influences with alarming headlines that people read and watch in the last couple decades; often stories of investigations that get mention without followup. The song serves as both a poetic exploration and a stark reflection of the hidden mechanisms of power and control in our world.

The Idea Behind the Message: Gabriel has often drawn inspiration from universal themes of truth, justice and humanity’s struggle to reconcile with its own flaws. For…

The Eternal Moment of Infinite Reconciliation

Thesis:   In the realm of metaphysical speculation, I propose a theory where the moment is not only the singular point of existence but also the conduit through which all temporal and spatial realities intertwine. This moment, as the sole existence is perpetually influenced by changes from the future, leading to phenomena like the Mandela Effect, while simultaneously existing in a multiverse of infinite possibilities. Here, solipsism (the philosophical idea that only one’s own mind is sure to exist) extends to suggest that all realities are but projections of a singular consciousness and purgatory is understood as the state of perpetual becoming where past, present and future merge into one eternal now. I. The Primacy of the Moment: Existence as Moment: All existence is encapsulated within the moment.…

BlackBerry’s QNX IoT OS Invests in Their Future Markets; Free Availability to Home-brews & Hobbyists Alike

BlackBerry Inc. has transitioned strategically over the years, repositioning its QNX operating system as a foundational platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems. This shift is largely rooted in the company’s early success in the motor vehicle industry, where QNX became a prominent choice for in-vehicle IoT systems, as well as in the realm of security for critical infrastructure. Today, BlackBerry is recognized as a leader in the IoT market, following a significant pivot away from its former smartphone business. In its last attempt to re-enter the mobile market, BlackBerry partnered with the startup OnwardMobility to develop 5G-compatible Android smartphones featuring the brand’s hallmark physical keyboards. However, a combination of pandemic-related delays, particularly those caused by the impact of SARS-CoV-2 and concerns about timely product…
