And WTBS the radio station was also purchased by Ted Turner!

It was originally "Tech Broadcasting Service" and run by an MIT student group.

For the $50k purchase, the newly-named WMBR purchased a new transmitter.

There’s something lovely about this.

To my eye, it is like the patina that your favorite tools get.

I’m looking at you, 40 year old tape measure.

I’ve noticed that this only occurs when I use a two-prong adapter for the power brick.

If I use the 3-prong, which is usually tied to a long cable, I don’t feel the buzz.

I assumed that the additional grounding helped.

New comment by sanj in "The Brand Age"

> Branding is centrifugal; design is centripetal

So they’re the same thing but from two frames of reference?

I’m not sure this metaphor holds.

This is lovely! Can I suggest make sure that the board is solveable?

Ask HN: Gmail/Draft Problems?

sanj — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 21:36:06 +0000

I've been using GMail for many years both privately and inside Workspace.

Recently I've had mulitple problems where drafts disappear, sometimes even after I send them. My partner's seen this as well on a completely unrelated workspace enterprise account.

On top of that,I've noticed that my "Drafts" are conspicuously missing entries since mid-November. I've got a pretty good rate of leaving drafts and ideas half formed in email.

(I'm not looking for advice, guidance, or berating for this behavior – I've already gotten an earful from my team.)

Has anyone else seen this? Perhaps take a look in drafts and see what's missing!

New comment by sanj in "Toys with the highest play-time and lowest clean-up-time"

Can I suggest putting a strand of Christmas lights inside the completed structure? They get a little diffused and look really cool.

For bonus points, get pics of your kids' faces lit by only that light.

Boom: next year's card.
