Joe Watson, custom knifemaker and design consultant, joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 573 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/573).Watson offers a variety of high performance, handmade knives from kitchen to outdoors to duty use. He also creates historically inspired knives and art pieces and improves them with modern construction methods and more logical design.Watson still fabricates, cuts, grinds, shapes, dresses and polishes knives one at a time, like he did when he made his first knife in high school.Whether working with the latest hi-tech materials or with rare, unique natural and antique components, Joe enjoys the process. His tactical and outdoor knives were made, tested and vetted for years before ever being sold and does not believe in using customers as guinea pigs.Joe joined the US Army at the peak of the War on Terror and when he could, modified knives, and made kydex holsters and sheaths. He trained remotely overseas with a member of Rhodesian SAS and learned how to do more with less in situations where knife performance was of great consequence.Upon leaving the military he would work in private sector security and trained in BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai, Filipino and Indonesian martial arts. Joe developed a sense of what features made the most effective tactical knives, guardless blades without choils and sheaths that allow a full hand grip performed the best in organic medium testing.Initially his goal was to make functional tools without a thought to fit and finish, but after learning from knife makers like Johnny Stout, John Young, Harvey Dean and John Horrigan, he was inspired to refine his work further.Find Joe Watson online at www.watson-knives.com, as well as on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/joewatsonusa and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/joewatsonusa. Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

Everything policy makers need to know about digital inclusion in one easy podcast. The post John Horrigan on Digital Inclusion appeared first on High Tech Forum.

John is a Senior Fellow at the Technology Policy Institute and a senior advisor to the Urban Libraries Council. He served as an Associate Director for Research at the Pew Research Center. During the Obama Administration, Horrigan was part of the leadership team at the Federal Communications Commission for the development of the National Broadband Plan (NBP) He recently authored a white paper on Baltimore's Digital Divide

Why is it that 40% of Baltimore residents lack broadband access to the internet? In a city where red-lining in housing has a long history, has red-lining moved from the street to the internet? We begin with Dr. John Horrigan. He’s the author of a new report for the Abell Foundation that describes the impact of Baltimore’s Digital Divide on low-income city residents. Dr. Horrigan is a senior fellow at the Technology Policy Institute. Then, Chrissie Powell and Andrew Coy join the conversation. Powell is the Baltimore site director of Byte Back, Inc., a tech-inclusion nonprofit that offers free technical skills classes for adult learners. Coy is the executive director of the Digital Harbor Foundation, which teaches coding and other computer and tech skills to K-12 students. They are both leaders of the Baltimore Digital Equity Coalition, which includes about 50 groups that are working together to reduce our city’s Digital Divide.

Thousands of low-income families are making it through the pandemic without a computer or reliable Internet access. For students, that means distance learning without a screen big enough to see or a keyboard big enough to type. For adults who have lost their jobs, it means it’s hard to apply for work or unemployment. John Horrigan recaps the Abell Foundation report he wrote on the digital divide in Baltimore. Then, education advocate Rebecca Yenawine on keeping families connected, and high-school teacher Franca Muller Paz on the inequity of the gap. Learn more about the Teachers' Democracy Project here.

Alan S. Inouye heads public policy for the American Library Association (ALA). In this role, Alan leads ALA's technology policy portfolio ranging from telecommunications to copyright and licensing, to advance the ability of libraries to contribute to the economic, educational, cultural, and social well-being of America's communities.   Alan is a recognized expert in national technology policy, published in various outlets such as The Hill, Roll Call, and the Christian Science Monitor. He serves on advisory boards or committees of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the U.S. State Department, Library For All, and the University of Maryland.   From 2004 to 2007, Dr. Inouye served as the Coordinator of the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) in the Executive Office of the President. At PITAC (now merged into the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology—PCAST), he oversaw the development of reports on cybersecurity, computational science, and other topics.   Prior to PITAC, Alan served as a study director at the National Academy of Sciences. A number of his major studies culminated in book-length reports; three of these are LC21: A Digital Strategy for the Library of Congress, The Digital Dilemma: Intellectual Property in the Information Age, and Beyond Productivity: Information Technology, Innovation, and Creativity.   Dr. Inouye began his career in the computer industry in Silicon Valley. He worked as a computer programmer for Atari, a statistician for Verbatim, and a manager of information systems for Amdahl (now Fujitsu). Alan completed his Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley and earned three master's degrees, in business administration (finance), systems engineering, and computer systems.   In this episode, we discussed: the role of libraries in creating opportunities. library resources for entrepreneurs. how libraries and the incoming Tump administration might align on tech policy.   Resources:   American Library Association's Office for Information Technology Policy The Future of the Professions: How Technology will Transform the Work of Human Experts by Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind     NEWS ROUNDUP   What a mess. The CIA has officially concluded that Russia hacked the 2016 presidential election not just to undermine voter confidence, but to get Donald Trump elected.  This is according to a widely reported secret assessment conducted by the agency. The FBI on the her hand, isn't going that far. The FBI acknowledges that Russia did something--it's just saying it's not clear about Russia's motive: it thinks Russia carried out the intrusions for a mix of different reasons. The National Security Agency is due to release its own findings in the coming weeks before the election. The investigation is getting bi-partisan support from Chuck Schumer and Democrats, but it is also getting support from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan, as well as John McCain and Lindsey Graham.   Here's what we know. We know the Director of the FBI, James Comey, sent a letter to Congress 11 days before the election saying more of Hillary Clinton's emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer could lead to a new investigation. Of course, that inquiry was dropped after a few days but, by then, the damage had already been done. Outging Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is calling for a Congressional investigation of Comey.   We know Trump said many times that the election was rigged.   We know that Trump called on Russia during the campaign season to leak Hillary Clinton's emails.   And now, Trump wants to appoint ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, whom the Wall Street Journal reports has close ties to Russia.   We also now know that hackers got into the Republican National Committee's servers as well but, for whatever reason, only the DNC's emails were released to the public.   Trump and others on his transition team called the CIA's conclusions "ridiculous". Ridiculous or not, whether those advocating to get 37 Electors to change their votes in favor of Hillary Clinton win or not, this isn't going away.   The electoral system of the country that prides itself on being the greatest democracy the world has ever seen, has been, according to the CIA, hacked to favor a particular candidate. And that particular candidate, by the name of Donald J. Trump, won. He won! This is is crisis mode.   --- Andrea Wong reports in Bloomberg that Apple is taking advantage of a massive tax loophole that allows it to earn free money from American taxpayers without paying any taxes. The loophole lets Apple stash its foreign earnings, untaxed, overseas, and then use the money to buy U.S. bonds. The Washington Post reports that this has yielded Apple some $600 million in payments from the U.S. Treasury over the last 5 years.   --   The Wall Street Journal reported that the State of Georgia allegedly sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security accusing the agency of attempting to hack the state's voter database. The State of Georgia opposes Federal efforts to declare election systems critical infrastructure, which would enable more robust federal monitoring for cyberattacks.   --   USA Today reports that the Trump transition team has scheduled a meeting with the tech sector for Wednesday, December 14th in New York City. Should be interesting since most of the tech sector essentially opposed Donald Trump during the campaign, with the exception of Peter Thiel who now sits on President-elect Trump's transition team. Interestingly, Google has posted a job posting for a conservative outreach manager. e   --   Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are partnering to weed on content posted by terrorists. The companies will be creating a shared database that will included "hashes" or digital encoding or fingerprints, which will enable the companies to alert each other as to the offensive content. Each company will retain the power to make decisions for themselves as to whether to take down the content.   -   The White House has announced further investments in science, technology, engineering and math education in 2017. The National Science Foundation will spend $20 million in addition to the $25 million it spent in 2016. Ali Breland has the story in The Hill.   --   John Horrigan at Pew  released survey results last week showing those who lack access to smartphones, broadband and tablets actually report more stress and lack of confidence accessing information than those who have access to the technologies. Conventionally, we tend to think of having all of these devices at our constant disposal as the contributing factor to information overload.     -- Finally, the FCC set letters to Verizon and AT&T about their so-called zero-rating practices. With zero rating, multichannel video providers select which programming their customers will have access to without it counting against their data caps.  Net neutrality advocates argue this is a Trojan horse against the net neutrality rules, allowing the companies to prioritize the content they choose over competing content. Colin Gibbs has the story at Fierce Wireless.

In this encore episode of the Leading Learning Podcast Celisa Steele talks with John Horrigan of the Pew Research Center about his organization's recent research into lifelong learning and technology.  Roughly three quarters of Americans said they considered themselves lifelong learners and a similar number actually engage in a lifelong learning activity in a given year. At the same time, most American remain relatively unfamiliar with major concepts like distance learning or trends like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Listen in for Horrigan's perspective on these and other lifelong learning issues. And thanks to YourMembership for sponsoring this encore episode.

Over the past decade many governments, including Chicago's, have put the spotlight on open data. But how do citizens really feel about these initiatives? A new study from the Pew Research Center found big splits in the public's awareness of open data and its value for users. John Horrigan, a Senior Researcher at Pew and one of the authors of that report joins us to explain.

Want to know where your state ranks in the big broadband picture? The key author of the TechNet State-by-State Broadband Index, a report that ranks states in broadband adoption, network quality, and broadband-driven economic outcomes, breaks it down for you. John Horrigan, currently VP of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, completed this report after recently leaving TechNet. Last week he participated in a special rountable of national experts discussing research on broadband and economic development. Listeners pick up valuable insights to how leading states are using broadband to increase small business creation, job growth and tax revenues, as well as influencing social changes among constituents. Horrigan's observations help communities with their broadband planning for next year.
