Not like now. Sophisticated programs to do complex analysis.

I am a meteorologist and I know a little about how programming works. I'm going to be 75 this month. My last computer class was the '67-'68 semester of high school. That being said…

The original Taking of Pelham123. I grew up in NYC. I rode the subway to high school (Brooklyn Tech) every day. The movie is technically accurate and pretty close to the technicall…

I use Firefox... still.

I'm a meteorologist. Feel like sharing?

I am a meteorologist and I forecast for Nebraska. Those theories might be wrong, but agriculture has surely changed the weather, especially the summertime dew point. A single acre …

Worth it. No regrets. I am alive!

The article talks about only 9% surviving five years. That's probably me. I'm three years out from Whipple Surgery (the only fix in 2019) with no sign of a cancer return. My blood …

I am a pancreatic cancer survivor. It is considered incurable in 2019 and I'm here because of a 1930s era surgery called a Whipple procedure. Around 9% survive five years or more -…

The first computer graphics program I used in the early 80s on Cromemco hardware running their "ix" flavor os was called Amazon.

I wonder if this was the inspiration for Michael Chricton's book "Airframe?" It seems so similar.

It is very cool for me to hear that something I did years ago was memorable for your family. Thanks for saying hi.

I work. That's common.

I haven't thought about it. I have a business in mind for the maps which would keep them in demand. More about that in my AMA I suppose. I am very happy with my life and where we l…

Scoggs knows.

I am blushing. The people of Connecticut were very kind to me and I will be forever grateful.

If you wrote code like mine you wouldn't want it seen. I have borrowed freely from others, especially the College of DuPage whose entire site (except satellites) is on github. Thei…

Sure -- It's a multistage process making a graphics sandwich. The meteo data is done by GrADS. I render these at full HD resolution-- 1920x1080. The base map and overlay are both p…

Already found a great article on 'how-to.' I will. It's second nature to me, but most people are sort of stunned when they see a broadcast quality studio in my (former) garage.

Point me in the right direction. I'd love to do an AMA -- except I'd take questions on the site and answer via YouTube live or something similar. That way I could demo any studio q…

Football Sunday. I'm multitasking.

We don't mention it on-the-air, but it's not hidden. You don't want to lie about something like this (or anything, actually). When you're caught you'll pay. It's difficult to expla…

The fact that we need GoFundMe campaigns for people who get sick or that veterans beg for charity through Wounded Warriors upsets me to no end. A modern, successful democracy shoul…

OK. I can put on coffee. Seriously, I was on TV in Connecticut for nearly 30 years. Where I lived was common knowledge. I'd often meet someone whose friend had told them I lived in…
