> Ham radio is hundreds of sub-hobbies in a trench coat

Really good way of putting it! POTA can be a lot of fun.

This would be amazing to be able to use on a TV with a remote!

Just finished up the first two Game of Thrones book. Before continuing wanted to check out a couple of other books.

Read Shadow Divers which was really good. Saw it suggested a lot and it did not disappoint.

Now reading The Pearl by Steinbeck and Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers by Grant Naylor.

Ham radio is a huge rabbit hole. It's a hobby full of other hobbies within. One of the most fun parts for me is Summits on the Air (SOTA).

You take a small portable HF transceiver up a mountain summit and attempt to make at least 4 contacts. You get points for "activating" the summit and folks at home get points for "hunting" you. You can also spot yourself online and sometimes you'll have a bunch of people from around the world trying to make contact with you.

That's amazing. I've been looking at getting my first fish tank lately with my kids. Seems like a lot to learn. Any tips for a newbie?

https://www.bookmarkstuff.com

Another itch of my own to scratch but thought I'd see if I can make some side income as well.

It's a web based bookmark manager with extensions for Firefox and Chrome.

You can easily import and export bookmarks so you have all your data whenever you need.

One main thing I really like that I think makes it stand out is the ability to export the contents of a bookmarked page to an epub file to read later on your Kindle or other e-reader device.

Looking for any constructive feedback on this! Thanks.

Would be great to somehow incorporate this into a game where you can play in any city in the world.

Well UFC and WWE are both part of the TKO group.

I'm pretty sure WWE would have an exclusivity clause that would prevent another pro-wrestling program on Netflix. But who knows!

That's a really good point that I didn't consider! I'll check into that and possibly post a followup. Thanks for the comment!

Hey thanks so much for checking it out.

It is annoying when some of the stations don't work. I've done an initial try at filtering them out without much luck but will try again.

Good idea about the country filter.

Thanks for the feedback really appreciate it!

Thanks for the link to that 20 games challenge. Godot is fun and something I want to get back to eventually!
