He was sent into orbit to assemble the machine that would save what was left of civilization—but finishing the job may mean never coming home. With his oxygen running thin and the world turning silently below him, one decision will decide who controls humanity's future. A Long Way Back by Ben Bova. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Before he became one of the most respected names in modern hard science fiction, Ben Bova was a kid growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, born November 8, 1932, discovering the future one pulp magazine at a time.Like many writers of his generation, Bova fell in love with science fiction as a reader first. That early fascination stayed with him. He studied journalism at Temple University, served in the U.S. Army, and eventually stepped into publishing — not just as a writer, but as an editor who would help shape the direction of the field itself.Ben Bova wrote more than 100 short stories and more than 20 novels. He didn't write about magical futures. He wrote about futures we could build.But before his reputation as a novelist took off, he became one of the most influential editors in science fiction history.In 1972, he succeeded John W. Campbell as editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact — a monumental moment in the genre. Under Bova's leadership, Analog continued its tradition of serious, science-based storytelling. For his editorial work, he won the Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor six consecutive times, from 1973 through 1978.Bova also served as President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.Today's story was his very first science fiction short story — the beginning of a career that would span decades and help define modern hard science fiction.From Amazing Science Fiction Stories in February 1960 our story begins on page 6, A Long Way Back by Ben Bova…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An automated giant is crippled in space, and the only man who can save it swore he would never touch a liner again. To keep hundreds alive, Pop Gillette must prove that instinct still outruns machinery. Patch by William Shedenhelm.===========================☕ Buy Me a Coffee - https://lostscifi.com/coffee

Host Victor previews upcoming podcast coverage (The Pitt , Industry finale, DTF St. Louis, Paradise, and Drops of God) and then, with Kim, discusses Drops of God's competition setup as Camille manipulates a winemaker to swap in the Georgian wine, likely straining her relationship with Tomas and causing family fallout. They pivot to The Pitt  season 2 episode 8, where a cyberattack forces the ER to operate without electronic systems, highlighting analog workflows (paper charts, faxing, handwritten orders, pharmacist-controlled meds) and logistical delays. They revisit lingering cases and beats: Harlow's drawn-out ASL communication ending in a tension headache; an obese patient requiring special handling and raising fat-bias concerns; rape kits not being picked up in time; a hospice cancer patient's pain management and “double effect”; sudden blindness treated with TPA; a law student's psychosis prognosis; staff character moments (McKay's sobriety, Joy's photographic memory and diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis); and Mel's deposition tied to last season's measles case. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com   00:00 Show Updates and Schedule 02:42 Drops of God Plot Twist 06:55 Switching to The Pitt 07:33 Last Week Loose Ends 10:40 Duke Mystery Returns 12:03 Hospital Goes Analog 13:08 Old Medical TV vs Reality 17:51 Deaf Patient Frustrations 20:03 Obesity Case and Bias 24:16 Rape Kit System Failure 26:17 Hospice Pain Ethics 27:25 Sudden Blindness TPA Debate 31:00 Law Student Background Case 31:27 Parents Face New Reality 33:24 Bipolar Versus Schizophrenia 34:18 Coworker Recovery Check In 35:06 Joy's Hidden Talents 38:07 Margarita Burn Diagnosis 40:13 Measles Deposition Fallout 43:09 Underserved Characters Spotlight 46:19 Generations and Analog Medicine 50:34 Realism Versus TV Medicine 52:33 Behind the Scenes Craft 57:00 Extras and Waiting Room Grind 58:10 Next Week and Podcast Plugs

This week, we welcome the brilliant Dylan Meconis, creator of Queen of the Sea and Bite Me. Here's what we cover: How most colorists actually break in (hint: it's not by “murdering another colorist in single combat” — though that was discussed) What “flatting” is — and why it's often your first step into paid coloring work Why networking is really just “being friends with cartoonists” Portfolio strategy: Why saying “I do everything” is less effective than saying “I do this brilliantly” Analog coloring techniques — watercolor paper, oil-based pencils, and why certain materials go extinct at the worst possible moment The realities of scanning physical art (and why scanners are basically cameras on an arm) How to handle black plates, rich black, and avoiding fuzzy type in print If you've ever wondered whether coloring could be an income stream for you — or how to level up your current process — this episode is a masterclass. Products and Programs mentioned on the show Note: Some of the links are affiliate links WildCraft Studio is in Portland, Oregon.  PITT monochrome oil pencils by Faber-Castell Watercolor paints, Daniel Smith brand Watercolor paper (cold press) by Arches White watercolor paper, Dick Blick house brand Epson scanner, Perfection series Epson scanner, Workforce series Colored pencils, Caran d'Ache Summary In this engaging conversation, the hosts welcome cartoonist Dylan Meconis to explore various topics including coloring techniques, the integration of digital and traditional media, and the importance of choosing the right materials for comic creation. Dylan shares insights into her unique artistic process, the challenges of color printing, and the significance of lettering in comics.

For decades, neuroscience treated the brain like a digital machine — storing information in synaptic connections and sustaining activity like a switch flipped on. But what if that model is incomplete?In this conversation, I sit down with Earl Miller, MIT professor and head of the Miller Lab, to explore a growing shift in cognitive neuroscience: the brain may compute using dynamic electrical waves.We discuss how oscillations coordinate millions of neurons, how waves interact with spikes in a two-way system, why large-scale brain organization may depend on rhythmic patterns, and what this means for artificial intelligence.If cognition isn't just stored in connections — but emerges from real-time analog wave computation — how should we rethink intelligence?

In 2020, during the COVID shutdown, Frank Possemato found himself to be a new dad and an online professor.  He had time to reflect on the life he wanted for his daughter, as well as take note of the changing world while it moved increasingly online. Inspired by life as he knew it before the digital revolution, he purchased a notebook (with actual coins) and started writing about the importance of offline life. He wanted to remember to be present, to connect with friends and family, and to be tolerant of different versions of shared memories.  In this episode, we talk more about life offline and how to appreciate analog moments. Listen now!  

In today's episode of The Daily Grateful, Michael reflects on the power of analog in a digital world. From a rare 1962 White Springs bluegrass festival recording to original master tapes sitting on his studio floor, he explores how physical objects create scarcity, value, and connection. Along the way, he shares stories about collectible vinyl, a surprising Army discharge document from 1919, and why books — real books — sharpen focus and reduce distraction. Analog isn't just nostalgic; it's resilient, imperfect, and deeply human. If you've ever loved the smell of a book or the crackle of a record, this one's for you.#AnalogLife #VinylRecords #TheDailyGrateful #Gratitude #SlowDown #Bluegrass #HistoryMatters

New Book: Lost in Time — Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge | An Interview with Jack R. Bialik | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli There's a particular arrogance embedded in how we talk about progress. We speak about innovation as if it moves in one direction only — forward, upward, smarter, faster. But what if the line isn't straight? What if it loops, doubles back, and occasionally vanishes entirely? That's the uncomfortable question at the center of my conversation with Jack R. Bialik. His book Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge doesn't read like a history lesson. It reads like a case file — evidence, example by example, that the civilization we assume is the most advanced in human history is also, in some critical ways, deeply amnesiac. Take cataract surgery. We learned it in the 1700s, right? Except we didn't. Indians were performing it in 800 BC. The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had diagrams of the procedure dating back to 2,400 BCE. The knowledge existed, worked, and then — somewhere in the chaos of collapsing empires and burning libraries — it vanished. We didn't progress past it. We forgot it, and then reinvented it from scratch, centuries later, convinced we were doing something new. Or the Baghdad Battery: clay pots, 2,000 years old, that when filled with acid can generate 1.1 volts of electricity. We don't know what they used them for. We don't know who figured it out. We just know it worked, it existed, and then it didn't anymore. This is what Bialik calls the pattern of loss — and it's not random. It follows catastrophe: the Library of Alexandria, the systematic destruction of Mayan records, the slow erosion of oral traditions as writing systems took over. Knowledge disappears when the systems that carry it collapse. And here's where the conversation gets uncomfortably relevant: we are building those systems right now, and we are not thinking about how long they'll last. The curator at the Computer History Museum told Bialik that to preserve the data from early IBM PCs and Macintosh computers, they had to print it on paper. The floppy drives had become brittle. The formats were unreadable. The digital archive was failing — and the only solution was to go analog. A vinyl record from the 1920s still plays. A CD from the 1980s may not survive another decade. I've been thinking about this since we recorded. My brain is analog — that's not just a podcast title, it's a philosophy. I grew up in Florence, surrounded by things that had survived centuries because they were made to last: stone, fresco, manuscript. Then I jumped on the digital train like everyone else, seduced by infinite libraries on my phone, music on demand, knowledge at my fingertips. But what Bialik is pointing out is that fingertips are fragile. And so are hard drives. The deeper issue isn't storage format. It's the distinction Bialik draws between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is the data — the cataract surgery technique, the battery design, the pyramid engineering. Wisdom is knowing why it matters, when to use it, and what the consequences might be. We've gotten extraordinarily good at accumulating knowledge. We are considerably worse at transmitting wisdom. And wisdom, Bialik argues, doesn't live in databases. It lives in the space between people — in stories, in teaching, in the slow transmission of judgment across generations. That's why oral tradition survived when everything else failed. Not because it was more sophisticated, but because it was more human. It didn't require a device to run on. I don't know how to solve the digital longevity problem. Neither does Bialik — not yet. But I think the first step is admitting we have one. That's actually one of the quietest, most powerful arguments in the book: be humble. We don't know everything. We never did. And some of the things we've lost might be exactly what we need right now. The question isn't just what we've forgotten. It's what we're forgetting today, while we're too busy scrolling to notice. Grab Lost in Time: Our Forgotten and Vanishing Knowledge — link below — and spend some time with a perspective that goes very, very far back. Which is maybe the only way to see very, very far forward.   And if this kind of conversation is what you come here for, subscribe to the newsletter at marcociappelli.com.  More of this.

Tom-Oliver Regenauer discusses the persistent structures of global power and the rise of technocratic control. He argues that modern governance is essentially a continuation of feudalism, now rebranded through international organizations like the European Union, which he describes as the “Fourth Reich.” The conversation highlights the transition toward a digital gulag. Regenauer warns that the threat of a Third World War may serve as a pretext for a global financial reset and the implementation of a social credit system. He advocates for analog living and personal autonomy as essential methods for resisting this encroaching totalitarianism.

In this episode, Jeremiah and E discuss grounding in tactile, sensory rich experiences outside of the demands of digital life.  Vinyl and film cameras and paper books, letter writing and manual engines.  Opportunities for interacting with life in analog formats are usually less convenient, but more meaningful.  Analog experiences offer a chance for slowness and foster some amount of cognitive rest.As always, thank you for listening along with us.  If you'd like to know more about the podcast or if you'd like to connect with us, please visit our website at https://goodtotalk.co.

We're joined by N. Katherine Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor in English at UCLA, to think through cognition in the broadest and most scaled sense. Hayles is among the foundational thinkers of posthumanism in its Anglophone register, and this conversation tracks her intellectual trajectory from the question of how we became posthuman to her most recent project: an integrated cognitive framework that extends from bacteria to AI. The opening provocation is one she has been developing since large language models appeared as a genuinely literary phenomenon, the claim that LLMs do not speak natural language but produce a computational simulation of it.The umwelt of an LLM (its 'operative world-horizon,' in Uexküll's sense) overlaps with the human umwelt enough for communication to occur, but the divergences are large and consequential. This leads to the question of cognition itself. Against definitions that make consciousness the threshold of cognitive status, Hayles proposes the SIEPAL framework: Sensing, Interpreting, Responding, Anticipating, Learning, under which bacteria, algorithms, and ecosystems all qualify as cognitive. The non-conscious, on this account, isn't pre-cognitive but is in many ways more cognitively capable: faster, closer to environmental noise, less committed to the narratives of coherence that consciousness requires.The final section breaks genuinely new ground with Hayles's turn to analog computation: the argument that digital computation is a historical blip, that biological life has always operated on analog principles, and that the future of computation (neuromorphic chips, organoid computers, hybrid analog-digital architectures) represents not a departure from but a return to what life has always done. She proposes the analog humanities as a corrective to digital humanities, and the computational humanities as the synthesis that might finally close the gap between biological and technological cognition. This one is very much worth enjoying in dialogue with our previous epsiode on the digital.Some references:N.

True North Country Comics Podcast chats with David Sax about 'The Future Is Analog' The post David Sax discusses ‘The Future Is Analog’ appeared first on True North Country Comics.

The “analog lifestyle” has taken over the internet.People are doing full-on digital detoxes and creating “analog hobby bags” full of off-screen activities like reading and crafting.It all comes from a desire for more balance, more LIVING, and more focus on in-person activities.In this week's episode, we broke down the analog life trend, why it's happening, and what we're doing to live more analog lives.This episode isn't about never being online, reducing your screen time to 0, or deleting your social media. It's about intentionally finding ways to LIVE your life more, slow your brain down, and be present.—If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast. We appreciate your support!

Young people have had enough with their phones ruling their lives! There is a new trend of going analog among young adults who want to break their phone addiction. Greg and Holly walk through what they're doing to put their phones away.

Neoborn Caveman delivers a pro-humanity critique of compliance experiments reshaping choices into cages, exposing how banks, parking, and services add friction to analog options through app mandates while presenting digital paths as convenient, warns of inertia leading to total tracking where refusal becomes suspicious, highlights how each reasonable rung builds inescapable infrastructure linking to digital IDs and programmable currency, and urges embracing inconvenience now through cash use and analog insistence to preserve autonomy before alternatives vanish.Key TakeawaysCompliance relies on voluntary inertia.Friction disguises digital mandates.Analog alternatives become burdensome.Normalization expands control scope.Refusal signals wrongdoing in systems.Infrastructure locks in surveillance.Inconvenience preserves future options.Cash maintains independent choices.Awareness breaks gradual entrapment.Humanity requires deliberate resistance.Sound Bites"Have you noticed how we're living through the largest compliance experiment in human history, and most people think they're just getting better customer service?""The world is being reshaped so that certain choices become nearly impossible to make.""Many banks now require app-based authentication for anything beyond basic logins.""Don't have a smartphone? Well, you can visit a branch during business hours—assuming there's still one near you, and assuming you can get there when it's actually open.""It's friction disguised as security. Inconvenience packaged as protection.""Have you tried to park somewhere recently without an app? Tried to access certain government services without downloading something?""Each system, taken individually, seems reasonable. Each one offers an analog alternative. Technically.""But have you noticed how those alternatives work? They're slower. They require extra steps. They make you feel like you're being difficult.""What we're watching is a carefully constructed ladder where each rung seems reasonable in isolation.""Once the infrastructure is fully digital, fully tracked, fully programmable—asking nicely for your freedom back isn't going to cut it."Join the tea house at patreon.com/theneoborncavemanshow —free to enter, real talk, lives, no ads, no algorithms.keywords: compliance experiments, app mandates, analog friction, digital cage, voluntary control, surveillance normalization, digital ids, programmable currency, autonomy loss, resistance inconvenienceHumanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.Viva los Conejos Morados.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt answers listener emails about oscilloscope aliasing—what it is, whether all scopes can do it, and how it can trick you into diagnosing failures that aren't real. Using a “pegboard and golf tees” mental model, he explains how a digital storage oscilloscope samples voltage, stores it in memory, and then reconstructs what you see on-screen. The key takeaway: aliasing isn't magic, it's math—specifically the relationship between sample rate, timebase, and memory buffer. He also explains why some scopes (especially Snap-on) behave differently than Pico-style workflows, and how misunderstanding that screen-to-buffer relationship can create fake-looking “dropouts.”Who This Episode Is ForAnyone using a handheld/PC-based automotive DSO (Pico, Snap-on, Autel, etc.)Techs chasing intermittent cutouts, crank/cam dropouts, injector events, CAN glitchesAnyone who has ever said: “The waveform looked wrong… but the fix didn't fix it.”Key Topics CoveredWhat aliasing is (in plain language): the scope fails to accurately reconstruct the waveform you're testing.Can all oscilloscopes alias? The spicy answer is yes, they all can—especially digital scopes—depending on setup and limitations.Analog vs. digital (audio analogy): Digital sampling is like digital audio—there are “samples,” and reconstruction depends on how well you capture the real signal.The “pegboard model” for DSO operation: Up/down holes = voltage levels (vertical resolution). Left/right holes = time positions (sample points in memory). The scope measures voltage, then “plants a peg” in memory and connects the dots.Vertical resolution vs. time performance: 8-bit can look stair-steppy. 12/16-bit improves vertical accuracy. But most real-world failures come from time-domain limitations (sample rate + memory dynamics)Sample rate vs. buffer size (why scopes “fall apart”): Put too little time on screen → not enough samples to define the signal. Put too much time on screen → scope rejects/skips samples because the buffer can't hold it all. Either way: the displayed waveform can become fiction.How aliasing creates “phantom dropouts”: Gaps that look like crank sensor dropouts or reluctor issues. Can send you straight into the diagnostic swampWhy Pico changed the game: Early Pico automotive scopes stood out because they brought big memory buffers to real shop problems. Capture longer events accurately, then zoom in for detailSnap-on screen/buffer behavior is different (and people get burned): Snap-on scope often shows a “window” into a buffer (buffer bar flying across). You don't “zoom in like Pico”; you effectively set detail first, capture the event, then zoom out to find it and return to your detail level. Misunderstanding this is a common cause of “dropouts” that are really aliasing/misuseThe Big TakeawaysAliasing can make a good tech chase a bad story.The waveform on-screen is an interpretation, not a photograph.Know your scope's strengths: Some are built for speed, some for memory, some for both—but your settings decide your fate.If you're hunting an intermittent: Your success depends on matching: expected event speed, sample rate, memory depth, the scope's display/buffer behavior.Practical “In-the-Bay” TipsIf the trace shows perfectly suspicious gaps: question your timebase, question your effective sample rate, verify with a different capture strategy (less time on screen, more sample rate, different scope mode)Don't trust a dropout unless: it repeats consistently under the same conditions, and you can capture it without stretching timebase beyond what your scope can support.Learn...

Notizbücher statt Apps, Digicams statt iPhones, Offline-Momente als Gegenentwurf zum Dauer-Online-Sein. Ausgelöst durch Artikel und viele TikToks, die behaupten: 2026 wird das Jahr des Analogen.Ich frage mich: Warum fühlt sich dieser Trend gerade so richtig an?Ist das ein ehrlicher Wunsch nach Ruhe oder nur der nächste Lifestyle-Move, der wiederum online stattfindet? Und was heißt „analog“ überhaupt, wenn man sein Geld im Internet verdient?Ich erzähle von meiner eigenen Müdigkeit vom Digitalen, von halbherzigen Detox-Versuchen, von dem Wunsch nach weniger Input und von der Ironie, darüber wieder einen Podcast zu machen.

Enjoy this week's episode with Colombian NY House Music Legend DJ & Producer JOESKI. Change is inevitable, and nowhere is this more prevalent than in the world of dance music. Analog gives way to digital, trends come and go, yet NYC's DJ Joeski remains at the top of his game, and now, in the midst of his fourth decade as one of house music's most sought-after stars, his momentum shows no signs of slowing. Joeski's trajectory can be traced back to 1991, when he burst onto the NYC house music scene as a founding member of The Chocolate Factory DJ collective. He delighted crowds at Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and NASA, helped turn “Save The Robots” into a NYC afterhours institution and earned his first residency at “Together” parties at the legendary Roxy, playing alongside the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Louie Vega and Roger Sanchez. Fueled by his genuine love of the music & his hard work through the years, there's no doubt that Joeski will continue to play a major role in this industry.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview There is a retail trend I'm seeing that is growing across independent retail shops worldwide and I'm sharing all about it in this episode. Let's talk about analog wellness. So what exactly is it? I'm diving into just that in this episode: what it is; how customers are craving slower, more human experiences and how brick-and-mortar retailers are uniquely positioned to meet that need. I'll explain why this shift has little to do with what you sell and everything to do with how customers feel when they're in your shop. I'll share why this matters now, especially as people step back from constant screens, noise, and digital overload. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how analog wellness shows up in retail, how it connects to hospitality and experience-driven sales, and why this approach strengthens loyalty, word of mouth, and long-term growth. Our Key Topics What analog wellness and analog wellbeing mean in a retail context Why customers are seeking slower, tactile, in-person experiences The role of brick-and-mortar shops as places to exhale and feel seen How experience and hospitality replace price-based competition Ways retailers are creating gathering spaces and community moments Why invitations and connection matter more than urgency or discounts Key Takeaways for Retailers on Analog Wellness Customers are craving calm, connection, and human interaction, not constant stimulation. Brick-and-mortar shops can serve as a third space beyond home and work. Experience and how customers feel now drive loyalty more than price. Small, intentional moments of hospitality can create lasting impact. Designing around customer feelings strengthens sales and relationships.   "Analog wellness is not anti-technology. It is pro-human." -Wendy Batten This week, I would love for you to listen in and reflect on how your shop can become a place where customers slow down, feel seen, and want to linger.

What if the thing that helps you stand out in a digital world… isn't more digital?In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Mark Stern, founder of Custom Box Agency, to unpack how physical products are making a serious comeback in business. From flipping Furbies as a teenager to building immersive onboarding experiences for lawyers, authors, and SaaS companies, Mark shares how analog experiences are becoming the secret weapon in a world flooded with AI and digital noise.We talk about the lessons he learned in corporate America at Deloitte, why being a generalist can hold entrepreneurs back, and how stepping into your zone of genius unlocks true growth. Mark also walks through how physical products like card decks, game boards, and custom boxes can increase acquisition, retention, and lifetime value.If you're building a brand and want to create deeper connection, stronger engagement, and real-world impact, this conversation will stretch how you think.What You'll LearnHow corporate structure can actually prepare you for entrepreneurshipWhy physical products are gaining power in the age of AIThe mistake most entrepreneurs make when scaling their businessHow to use physical experiences for customer acquisition and retentionWhy gamifying onboarding increases results and engagementThe power of dynamic QR codes and hyper-personalizationHow a simple card deck can become a powerful front-end offerWhy analog experiences create emotional connection and memorability

In this episode, Sadie and Stauney explore the rising trend of analog hobbies that offer comfort and authenticity in a digital world. They delve into crafting, journaling, baking, and slow hobbies as antidotes to digital overload, sharing how these practices can be effortlessly incorporated into daily life. Discover the origins of scrapbooking and the brilliance of modern "junk journaling" for preserving memories, and learn why slow hobbies like sourdough baking or knitting provide a meditative escape from global chaos.
