Too much travel lately! From NJ to to NY to Spokane and Beyond! AND NO SNOW!

here are some interesting photos from my recent travels around the USA

me in times square at 1am

saw this at my hotel, never seen Harley parking only

I didn't understand this one that sticker says $10 Charge for unauthorized removal of cable cover, took at apart and there was nothing inside that was interesting. just a wall drop. I have no idea...

After that it was off to Hawaii, it was a good time I might put a photo album back online to deal with all the pictures.

Last week I had a MSN IM bot hit me to try and click on a link, I had some fun with it...

I have created a gadget for looking up QRZ profiles and having a desktop view of propagation data as well as sun spots etc. This is a very simple gadget but I find it very useful and I hope you do as well, as of my blog post I had 380 downloads in 24 hours, not bad. Helps that QRZ considered it news!

If you like the application donate to N0NBH and QRZ as its their bandwidth your using to make this tool happen for you.

This application has been checked on Windows7 beta/rtm and vista. Remember that on vista your limited to sidebar space in relation to screen resolution so your results might vary.

If you have bugs or feature enhancements please let me know, the biggest feature I am working on is a spotting or cluster gadget, just need to make it usable, fitting things into a tiny window for all to read isn't easy!

I finally got my huge project done, its my portable shack in a box! has everything I need to go portable on the road, camping emergency etc.

Rather then spend time here go to the page http://www.kellykeeton.com/radio/portable/index.html

and check it out. way cool I am very proud of my handy work. the front panel that was custom made was awesome!

new house first Christmas lights, I am the only one in the hood.. sad. but happy for my house.

soon to be VE with ARRL and W5YI

the fun part is the text in grey, the nerd part is I got the error when there was no error?!

I didnt know Error means Failure Info Means Information and Warning means Warning, how helpfull they decoded that language for me.

I have seen a lot of posts here and there about ALC meter with digital modes and the proper operating conditions, to show graphically what good ALC meter and operating conditions are I have snapped this photo of my rig in transmit.

Mind you that this photo shows me at 100w PO output this isnt required and is subject to your own operating conditions. but just showing that if you play with your soundcard output and your (in my case) rigblaster volume leveling that you can get a 0 ALC with 100% output on power.

Today some “pastor” posted to katie’s facebook page

Why would you want to approve Ref. 71? Do you really want to have your children taught that homosexuality and same-sex relationships are morally equivalent to heterosexuality and heterosexual marriage? Please, NO. Vote REJECT R-71

After yelling WHAT! This was our reply…. (wish I could hand deliver it to the guy)

Three Issues. 1) FACT We are not here to judge others so it is not my place to judge homosexuality any more then theft, adultury, or racisim.

2) This Ref. has nothing to do with the defintion of marrage. It has to do with the rights of differently minded people in the nation where we are all free and equal. (ignoring issue of hetrosexual domestic partners are also affected)

3) This Ref. has nothing to do with the teaching my children get. I as a parent am responsible for teaching my child right, wrong, god, sin, grace, and compassion most of all the love God has for everyone.

I don't see how voting no will show anyone with sin the grace and compassion of followers of God, we are not here to change others we are here to show others the light, it is not our job to condem them. Shame on anyone who says they are a Christan and then condems the law of the land to further banish sinners into exile. You argue confusion is the point of satan to blind us, I argue satan is blinding you from grace to others.

Galatians 5:14-15 NIV "If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Followup (here are the comments continued…)

I agree with you, but I hardly think Homosexuality is analogous to "theft, adultery and racism..." Those are all wrong, immoral and ignorant acts that rip at the heart of communities and families...I wouldn't say that homosexuality does that...

…, point taken - but to be clear the issue is Ref.71 and Religion used as a battle ground for Ref.71 corrupting society and "christian beliefs" the 'debate' is not inductive of personal or religious stance on homosexuality however that is what people are spinning it as.

In Issue 1 that you pointed out. The bible defines a sin as a binary measure, meaning 1=sin and 0=no sin,we as humans (biblical again) are all 1 or sinners, so all sins in the eye of god are equal. So to help reference this debate and the reason the argument was used in the "fact" statement.

In the argument taken in context for the debate of a rebuttal to 'Dan's' statement I feel that we can have a analogous comparison.

To your point about homosexuality in relation to the other sins on a more 'human or earthly' debate (aside from the religious debate of homosexuality which I am not addressing.) I agree, the issues were just strong points chosen to show that small or large a sin (in religion) is all equal. *

Another good example would have been Alcoholism which fits nicely into your example as well as mine. All beans to count however the statement was being very general and directed at Dan's point specifically to help others make a choice.

Which in the end, is all that is there, your choice.

Hope that clears up the issue #1 in the debate?

*Mind you this is all our(Kelly and Katie) interpretation of Gods word AKA the bible, we are followers of God's Word and as you can tell feel passionately about it. I totally understand if out there you don't think like we do, or agree with the statements we have or will make. We can still hang out be friends and live in the country where we all have the opportunity to do so! (that last paragraph isn't directed at anyone, just a statement for the reader)

Kelly, wonderfully explained. I suppose I just took umbrage to the notion that homosexuality is a sin, but after reading your post, it occurred to me that as an atheist, I suppose I don't really believe in "sin." Or, more accurately, the idea of "sinning" is entirely subjective to me. As I live without god, everything I do is then a sin, right? But... Read More as you pointed out, this is a debate about Ref71, and I see now the utility of framing the debate in the context that Katie did above, which is ultimately to say, hey, no judge. :)

I have put the former goat cam back online this time on Squirrels. The Squirrel WebCam proudly serving up furry critters all day.
