Weekend Special Edition (with Year-End Fundraiser Update)

Hey, everyone …

As Christmas and the new year approach, our daily editions will likely get shorter — not because we’re not willing to do the work, but because many of our sources take some time off this time of year. Content is still rolling in, though, so we’ve got a short (10-item) “weekend special edition” for you this morning.

THANK YOU to supporter CS, whose $15 donation yesterday brings our year-end fundraiser total to $2,108.84!

We’re $641.66 short of our goal — once we’ve raised $2,750.50, supporter GL will “match funds” to get us to the $5,501 finish line. We’re reader-supported, so please weigh in with some holiday reader support cheer at:

PS: A couple of asides …

My family’s in the process of moving house, and I decided to purchase an old (1990), cheap ($700) “pop-up camper” to use as a home office. This is my first morning working from it, and I’ve only got one complaint: It’s COLD. Well, cold for Florida — it’s 44 degrees outside and not much warmer in the camper. I’m gonna have to run a bigger space heater. Anyway, this marks the first time since RRND started in 2002 that we have our own dedicated office space! Huzzah!

Also as part of the move (further out into the country, outside cable Internet reach), I switched to Starlink satellite Internet, and after a month I have to pronounce myself VERY satisfied with its price, quality, and reliability. If you’re looking for Internet service, please try Starlink through the link below. You’ll get a free month and so will I:

I suggest buying the equipment through Amazon or Walmart rather than directly from Starlink. It’s usually less expensive.

Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous weekend! – Tom
