When Public Safety Thursday on The Valley Today kicks off with a moment of accidental dead air, Captain Warren Gosnell of the Frederick County Sheriff's Office doesn't miss a beat. Instead, he turns Janet Michael's radio-studio nightmare into a teaching moment—because in today's tech-driven world, even the smallest glitch can open the door to trouble. Technology: A Gift and a Growing Threat As the holidays approach, scammers ramp up activity, exploiting both technology and human vulnerability. Captain Gosnell notes that modern fraud schemes are made easier—and more convincing—because technology has advanced faster than many people can track. Artificial intelligence, digital phone number spoofing, data breaches, and realistic voice cloning have changed the landscape of crime. He warns that criminals now need only minimal information—a name, a phone number, maybe a partial address—to sound legitimate and gain trust. Even worse, scammers increasingly target older adults, who may not recognize how sophisticated fraud technology has become. Red Flags: What Law Enforcement Will Never Do With a mix of humor and seriousness, Gosnell emphasizes that no police officer will ever: Call you to request a donation while on duty Use their rank or title to pressure you into giving money Ask for payment to "avoid being arrested" Request gift cards as bail or for fines "Today's special is half price: $250 keeps you out of the hoosegow," he jokes — pointing out just how ridiculous legitimate law enforcement would sound if these fake offers were true. How Scammers Capture Your Identity — One Quiz at a Time Captain Gosnell shines a spotlight on one of the most sneaky scam tactics: social media quizzes. Those seemingly innocent prompts— "Who was your 3rd-grade teacher?" "What street did you grow up on?" "What was your first car?" —are actually harvesting answers frequently used as bank and account security questions. Janet adds another big concern: parents posting first-day-of-school photos that include their children's full names, ages, teacher names, birth details, or school locations — a treasure trove for identity thieves. When Familiar Voices Aren't Real One of the most chilling warnings of the episode centers on AI-generated voice scams. Because Gosnell's voice is publicly available in videos and broadcasts, he worries scammers could easily mimic him: "It could be me, asking you to send money to avoid a warrant," he says — and people might believe it, simply because the voice sounds familiar. He encourages critical thinking: Why would the Sheriff's Office call you about a warrant instead of coming to your door? Why would payment be demanded over the phone? If it feels wrong — it is. How to Shut Down a Scam If someone calls claiming to be your bank, a government agency, or a utility: Hang up. Go to the organization's official website — NOT a link they sent you. Use verified contact information to confirm whether the call was real. "And whatever you do," Gosnell insists, "never click the link." Reporting scam attempts to local authorities is still helpful — even if the culprit is likely states or oceans away. Law enforcement can alert the public to new schemes and share prevention tips. Gift Cards Are NOT Currency One of the easiest rules of holiday safety: If someone demands gift cards as payment — it's a scam. Period. Scammers don't even need the physical card. Once you read the numbers aloud, they drain the funds within seconds. No recovery. No traceability. No refund. The Double-Edged Sword of Modern Tech Despite the concerns, Gosnell isn't anti-technology — far from it. He reminisces about growing up with Pong, learning to code on a Commodore 64, and now enjoying VR headsets. Technology has transformed law enforcement, too:

Queremos que nuestros 'Fósforos', en esta ocasión, nos hablen en el 900.50.60.06 sobre trucos caseros que aplican en su día a día. Daniel es el primer oyente que nos llama desde Granada. Tiene un truco para picar la cebolla y no sufrir. Es muy sencillo. Dice que, simplemente, "con cortar la cebolla, mojar el cuchillo, mojar la cebolla, y el agua hace de película y así no lagrimeas". Así, sumergiendo el cuchillo y la cebolla antes de cortar la cebolla.. "no lloras, es así de fácil". María José Navarro ha bromeado diciendo que le gusta "sufrir en la cocina". Por eso, no aplica ningún truco. Por otro lado, Mercedes tiene un truco muy simple para la cebolla. "Me muerdo la punta de la lengua mientras estoy picándola. Veréis como no os lloran los ojos. Simplemente eso".Sebastián es un 'Fósforo' que hace esto para luchar contra la tos. Explica que "te pones media cebolla en la almohada y duermes toda la noche. Aunque eche peste. Es radical. Increíble". Siguen ...

Ever fall in love with a movie's world while side-eyeing its logic? That's the neon paradox of Tron. We dive straight into how Steven Lisberger's Pong epiphany became a Disney gamble that pushed live action, backlit animation, and early CGI into a single, striking language—and why that language still speaks to us. From Moebius-inspired suits to hand-processed frames and vendor tag-teams like MAGI and Triple-I, we unpack the painstaking craft that birthed a timeless visual grammar of grids, glow, and velocity.We also confront the chewy stuff: a digitization beam that turns users into avatars, identity discs that are both passports and plot holes, and an MCP that behaves like a walled-garden overlord long before big tech made the term feel familiar. The story inverts expectations—Flynn as creator without control, Tron as titular champion without the spotlight—and lands somewhere between rebellion myth and systems metaphor. It's messy, yes, but the ideas are weirdly prescient: corporate capture of technology, AI consolidation of power, and the uneasy line between play, surveillance, and ownership.Along the way, we trace Disney's state of flux after The Black Hole, the greenlight born of a killer sizzle reel, and the great irony that the Tron arcade cabinet out-earned the film. The Academy may have snubbed the VFX, but the look rewired pop culture's sense of the digital future. We close by asking the big question: why do we keep wanting more Tron? Maybe it's the unspent potential, maybe it's the vibes, maybe it's both. Hit play to join a candid, curious tour through the franchise's origin story, its technical miracles, and the blueprint for a version that finally matches the glow.Enjoyed the ride?

From hating Pong to working for Atari, this week we chat with Matt Householder.  From his early days at Gaming Devices Inc. and designing the arcade classic Krull, through to joining Atari right after the video game crash and witnessing the dramatic Amiga chipset saga from the inside. Matt reveals what it was really like working under Jack Tramiel, converting GEM for the Atari ST in record time, and why developers had to sell snacks from their desks just to survive. He then takes us into the golden years at Epyx, creating World Games and the smash hit California Games, before moving on to 3DO, where a secret project he managed ended up helping fund Diablo.

Icons represent ideas that are bigger than themselves.Myths are stories that represent ideas that are bigger than themselves.Archetypes are symbols of recognizable patterns of behavior.Letters of the alphabet are symbols (graphemes) that represents sounds (phonemes,) just as notes on a sheet of music are symbols that represent sounds.A role model is a personal icon, an archetype that you have chosen to emulate.The human brain loves symbols and patterns. This is why we embrace icons, myths, and archetypes.When we recognize a pattern that has been stored in our subconscious, we call it intuition. When we hear a pattern that has been repeated too many times, we call it a predictable cliché.Icons, myths, and archetypes evolve with each new generation.I was born in the 12th year of the 18-year Baby Boom generation that began exactly 9 months and 10 minutes after the end of World War II.Marilyn Monroe was the iconic sex symbol. The Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, Yellowstone, and Woodstock were America's iconic places. Rolls Royce, Cadillac, Corvette, Camaro and Mustang were iconic cars. Tetris, Pong, and Pac-Man were iconic video games.The mythic stories of Baby Boomers were mostly about combat. Sometimes we fought the Indians of the Old West. Sometimes we fought the Germans, or the Japanese. We fought the Establishment. We fought for justice. Or we fought just to stay alive.And we always won.Our definitive male archetype in these mythic stories was rugged, brave, independent, and honorable. John Wayne, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery.Baby Boomer female archetypes were smart, pretty, and strong; Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Sophia Loren.Lots of movies ended with a wedding.These societal forces shaped the birth cohort known as the Baby Boomers.Gen-X was shaped by an entirely different set of icons, myths, and archetypes.Millennials had icons, myths, and archetypes that were all their own, as well.The Gen-Z cohort believes it is their responsibility to straighten out everything that the Boomers and X-ers screwed up.Gen-Alpha is determined to make their own decisions and decide for themselves what they want to do. They will be the vanguard of the next “Me” generation.Fortunately, there are elemental beliefs that bind us all together.It is upon those beliefs that successful customer-bonding ad campaigns are built. Openly name these beliefs and they lose their magic.If you claim to possess them, no one will believe you.EXAMPLES: Never claim to be honest. Just say something that only an honest person would say. Never claim to be a perfectionist. Just do something that only a perfectionist would do. Don't tell people that you are an author or a podcaster. Just give them a copy of your book. Invite them to be on your podcast.If you would win the hearts and minds of tomorrow's customers, this is what you must do:Imagine that you are standing face-to-face with three perfect customers and they are each looking into your eyes.The first one says, “Talk is cheap. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me.”The second customer says, “Tell me a true story that lets me know who you really are, including the price that you pay for being you.”Customer three says, “If you betray me after I have given you my trust, I will burn you down so hot that grass won't grow for 100 years.”Now you understand cancel culture. Frustration created it, and social media fuels it.People are looking for someone who really is...

Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo nostalgično: spomnimo se daljinca na kabel, prvih igralnih konzol iz konca 70-ih in 80-ih, ter (ker je september) študiramo, katere podkaste je najbolje poslušati v gneči na cesti. Iz te debate nas katapultira do drznega teološkega vprašanja, ali res obstaja bog prometnih kolon in ali ga slučajno častimo vsakič, ko hupamo. Ali pa hupanje deluje kot cerkveni zvon? Sveta Feltna ali Sveti Hupko, usmili se nas. Namesto nas najde rešitev za manj gneče Roman Mars, mi pa brainstormamo, kateri podkast najbolj pomirja na začetku kolone na Celovške, potem pa čudežno preidemo na 2. poglavje knjige Zadnja priložnost. Tri leta po dogodkih iz 1. poglavja so naši junaki na lovu za komodskim zmajem. Mi pa razmišljamo, zakaj so nam plazilci manj simpatični od kosmatih mesojedcev.

TCW Podcast Episode 241 - The First 10 Years of European Consoles   The first decade of European consoles began with imports of the Magnavox Odyssey, but soon local experiments took shape. In Spain, the Overkal may have been tied to a possible attempt to bring the Odyssey into the country, though no hard evidence survives, and it is generally treated as a local product. Across Europe, companies like Videomaster in the UK, Zanussi in Italy, and Interton and Grundig in Germany built dedicated ball-and-paddle systems. Many went beyond Pong using discrete logic hardware to support more advanced play, a technical achievement later supplanted by programmable consoles. A key shift came when General Instrument's Scottish branch developed the “Pong on a Chip,” enabling mass-produced systems like Videomaster's Superscore and Zanussi's Play-O-Tronic. By the late 1970s, firms such as Philips, Radofin, and Hanimex moved into programmable systems like the Videopac. The arrival of Atari, Mattel, and other American companies displaced Europe's fragmented but inventive hardware scene, but the North American video game crash killed their systems at the same time European gamers were shifting their focus to home computers.   TCW 105 - The Big Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-big-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-small-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 177 - The Intellivision Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-intellivision-part-1/ TCW 178 - The Intellivision Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-intellivision-part-2 TCW 076 - A Fairchild Story: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/a-fairchild-story/   Overkal: https://prehistoricgaming.com/en/overkal-console/ Interton Video 2000: https://www.pong-story.com/v2000.htm GI Gemini Systems: https://www.pong-story.com/pc-50x.htm RCA Studio III Variants: http://videogamekraken.com/rca-studio-iii-by-rca Philips Videopac G7000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgG9F9SsgCw Interton VC 4000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yqVcULUqOU Radofin Programable Video System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvCFYLfQrC0   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Send us a textRemember when video games were simple pixelated adventures where building digital burgers or catching frogs occupied us for hours? The Noras take us on a delightful journey through gaming history, from the early days of Intellivision (with a surprise call from Nora's dad!) to the psychologically engineered experiences of modern games like Fortnite.Nostalgia flows as they reminisce about controllers with phone-like keypads, the satisfying "boing" of Pong, the excitement of Duck Hunt with its light gun, and how California Games let you skateboard and play hacky sack without leaving your living room. They share personal memories of playing at friends' houses, visits to arcades while waiting for tables at restaurants with questionable names like "Fat Fanny's," and how simple games created genuine social experiences.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they explore why modern games are so addictive. They break down the psychological hooks built into games like Fortnite—FOMO through limited events, social pressure, the "near miss" effect that keeps players saying "just one more round," and variable reward systems that trigger dopamine releases similar to gambling. This evolution from innocent entertainment to engineered engagement offers a thought-provoking look at how far gaming has come.Between gaming discussions, they touch on alarming reading statistics (only 16% of people read for fun?!), proper sheet-washing schedules (are you doing it right?), and the challenges of teenage milestone celebrations. Their warm, relatable banter creates a conversation that feels like catching up with friends who just happen to be discussing the cultural forces that shaped our entertainment landscape.Have you dusted off your old gaming systems lately?

RUNDOWN   Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot. He also highlights Zach Charbonnet's growing role, Sam Darnold's fit in the new scheme, and the roster battles heating up ahead of Week 1. KJ-Aren'ts—Mitch and Jason Puckett banter over podcast quirks, golf habits, chowder debates in the heat, and family traditions.

And, you know, if you use Ignition or you’re thinking about using it, you really should consider looking into the community conference because it’s a unique once a year event that, really allows you to get a look at the not only the product, but their partners and talk to other users of the software. Now if you are interested, I’m gonna include all the top links in the description in the show notes so you’ll have them on whatever platform you’re viewing or listening on.

Right? With that said, let’s go ahead and jump into this week’s episode of the automation podcast and learn all about the Ignition Community Conference. I wanna welcome to the show Paul from Inductive. I’m so excited to have you guys on. This is the third appearance from somebody from Inductive on the show. And, before we start talking about the upcoming conference, which I’ve covered in years past, before we start covering that, could you introduce yourself to our audience? Paul Scott (Ignition): Sure thing. Yeah. Thanks, Shawn. Happy to be here. So, yeah, my name is Paul Scott. I joined Inductive Automation in 2013 as a tech support rep. And then I, a couple years later, switched over to an instructor role, which sort of got me into documentation, which is where I currently am right now. I oversee our technical documentation as well as, our video library, Inductive University. I like to tell people that’s my day job. The reason I’m here today, is, because of the conference. So I also help out with managing content for our annual conference, the Ignition Community Conference or ICC, as you’ll you’ll only say a whole lot. So Shawn Tierney (Host): yeah. That’s cool. And now I’ve covered it in the past. You guys do so much cool stuff, but I don’t you know, because it’s, you know, I think a lot of the audience have been to, you know, maybe more regional shows they may not be as familiar with. You know? What we find a lot in our industry is a lot of people don’t get to travel to every show. There’s so many that go on through at least just even North America, never mind the entire world. And so can you tell them a little bit about, you know, what the show is like, what there is to do if they go, and, you know, just from there, tell us about the the the conference. Paul Scott (Ignition): Sure. Yeah. I if you’ve never been to ICC before, I’d like to tell you that it’s probably a little bit different than a lot of these sort of industry, conferences you go to. So Mhmm. It’s got a lot more of a familiar vibe. It it’s well, it started actually in 2013. It was actually started the year I joined the company, but, hilariously, I joined a couple months late. So I missed the first one. It’s the only one I missed. But yeah. No. It’s, it is a a conference that has been growing over the years, and it’s kinda it has a very close knit feel to it, which is something we’ve always kind of loved. It’s a great opportunity for us to just meet members of the community and people use the software, from all different parts of the industry, all different parts of the world, and really kinda connect and share ideas. And so yeah. No. There’s I wanna say it definitely started off as just sort of like a professional sort of conference, right, where we’re talking about the software, talking about the company, what’s coming up, over the next year, and then we have, you know, community members come out and share their ideas, share their projects they worked on and stuff like that. And it has evolved quite a bit. There’s still that. There’s still this professional sort of aspect to it. But, yeah, as you could sort of alluded to earlier, there’s there’s we like to have a little bit of fun too. So, I think one of the sort of standout activities or or sessions, you’ll you’ll find at Shawn Tierney (Host): the conference is the Buildathon, which we’ve been doing for I don’t know how many years now. But it’s, yeah. So just just to give your your Paul Scott (Ignition): your viewers an idea, it’s it started off as an idea of we had two members of our company. It’s Travis Cox and Kevin McCluskey. These are two individuals that have been using the software for a long, long time. Very brilliant. They do all kinds of crazy cool stuff. They they help build customer solutions or or they did. They do they do a lot of other stuff nowadays. But, both just like wizards with the software. And so we thought, hey. Let’s put them on the stage and have them just try to, like, compete against each other. And then it, like, turned into this whole thing where we’re doing, like, on social media. It’s like, oh, team Kevin, team Travis. And there’s, like, music videos and diss tracks being thrown around. There’s, like, props. There’s costumes. And and the there’s a couple of, sort of, I guess, staples of of the session, which would be, one, there’s usually a musical act of some sort. I don’t wanna put them on the on on the hook for for this year, but, it it started the first year where there’s we had our host, Kent Mills, another another, wonderful guy who works with the company here. And, he was sort of the acting MC, for for the whole event. Right? So while Kevin and Travis are kinda building you know, I just watch people staring at a computer for, like, forty five minutes or an hour. It’s kinda boring. Right? So so Ken’s up has, like, this tall order of, like, entertaining the entire conference while that’s going on. So one of the things he did is he started singing a song and kinda got the whole crowd involved in it. And that so then that evolved to, like, oh, okay. Cool. Let’s do that again. And so we started making, like, music videos. We put together. We call it the, the IA, Inductive Automation Band. And so just a bunch of employees who have some sort of musical background, and we’ve made music videos. And it’s been kinda crazy. So that that’s kind of the spirit of of what the Build a Thon is. Right? Like and then they’re always trying new stuff and always getting kind of excited. So usually, that was one thing I recommend folks check out or maybe a reason to to kind of attend is the sort of this, like, industry conference that has this really fun, lighthearted sort of, session there. So but, yeah. No. That’s that’s is that aside from that, I mean, there’s a lot of different activities to come and check out. Something we’re doing new this year that I’m I’m actually kinda happy to talk about, is we’re so we have a new room that we’re bringing to the the venue. We’re calling it the CoLab because we like it’s short collaborative lab. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. Paul Scott (Ignition): We like work we like our wordplay. And so we’re trying to turn this room into sort of a, kind of a hands on sort of room. Right? So a lot of conferences, they’re very passive. Right? Like, you’re you’re there. You’re there to listen. You’re there to maybe converse with folks if you get a chance to, but there’s usually a lot of things to watch. Right? But, you know, we we have this conference, and it’s about software. It’s like, well, should probably do something with the software or try to get some more hands on Shawn Tierney (Host): time Paul Scott (Ignition): with it. Right? Yeah. So in the collab, we’re we have two activities planned. One is the community design challenge. And the whole point of that is we have our instruction team who who teach our classes, and they handle our certification tests and all that fun stuff. They’re they are cooking up a bunch of challenges that need to be solved in Ignition. So the idea is that they’re gonna give you a bunch of, like, very small prompts, very, very small, like Yeah. Specifications and say, hey, can you build a solution in Ignition that does x y z? And the idea is to have you do within half an hour or so. We don’t want you to sit in all day feeling like you’re building a project when you’re at a conference. Right? And, once you complete it, we’ll both check you off, and they’ll add a point to your team. And we’re gonna have everyone who participates on one of three teams. So kinda channeling the spirit of the bill a thon. I just talked to someone. Yeah. Yeah. And have the community kind of work against each other and also together, I suppose, you could say when you’re talking about within teams. And we’ll now see the winning team at the end of it. We’re gonna have a whole bunch of challenges on every day so people can come back. If they wanted, we keep kinda showing off solutions or kind of, like, challenging themselves. So, really excited. It’s the first time we’re doing it this year, but hoping it it kind of brings some very creative ideas and then see what people can show off. Right? So so that’s one of the activities. The other activity in the collab would be the huddles we’re calling them or community huddles we’re also calling them. So, think of, like, a science fair. You have a bunch of people kind of presenting thing work they’ve done. Right? And then the audience, they kinda walk around. That’s kind of the vibe we’re going for. So so the idea is to get, like, speakers who are coming to the conference, vendors that are coming, thought leaders, people who aren’t even really presenting something, but they had something really cool that they wanted to show off to the community. Right? Like, they built some really cool application that does something really neat. And then we saw it was like, oh, that’s really cool. The idea is to have them come hang out for an hour at a time. We’ll have a whole bunch of them in the same again, in the collab, and they’ll just kinda show off demo, whatever it is they worked on. If they’re speakers, they’ll just kinda be there to hang out and maybe talk about their presentation. So, you know, if, maybe you sat in on their session and maybe you couldn’t maybe you had a question you wanted to ask, but maybe you couldn’t get into it because, you know, maybe you ran out of time or whatever. Hey. You can come say hi to them afterwards. Come maybe ask a question, interact with them. Yeah. You know, kinda you have a good chance to kinda mingle and meet with a speaker. Right? So good opportunity to sort of meet people that you who are presenting ideas or doing other fun stuff at the conference. So really excited to see how that’s, gonna play out this year. So hope hope you folks will enjoy that. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I think go ahead. I know. Paul Scott (Ignition): No. I was gonna say, I have more I can cover. I just don’t know if you want me to keep going. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. No. Let me let me stop there. So Sure. You know, for the build a thon, I remember covering it the last couple of years for the new show. And, you know, it just I thought it was just so incredible. So, you know, this is a very serious business. Industrial automation, that’s you know, I know your your stuff can be used outside of industrial automation, but industrial automation, it’s very serious. And when you’re working with custom machine builders or integrators, you actually can have some fun because you get to see the vision of what can be done with control systems and how they can take a process that was maybe costing a company money to turning it around to being profitable. And just I always like watching machines in motion, you know, whether it’s a bottling line or robot arms or palletizers, depalletizers, whatever. And, but it’s just it’s just it’s like it’s like building, one of those Goldberg machines, but that actually has a purpose that does something positive. Right? It’s not just to be, you know, a where’s the for the eyes. It’s it’s actually to be something that that changes the life and make things possible. And, you know, I get frustrated with some some older folks who are like, automation is bad as they sit there holding their smartphone, which they live on and could not be created without any automation. So but in any case, the HMI skate a part of our Ignition and other packages like it. It’s a place where we can use a lot of create creativity that we don’t usually get to use unless we’re building something for a trade show. We we get to use on the controller side and you know? And so a lot of times, you know, those of us who love using those packages, we like to be creative. I know at a conference that kinda turned into a corporate thing and then got canceled. But conference I used to go to go to back in the day, I would we would we would challenge each other to build stuff and, like, I would build video games. Right? Pong, multiplayer Pong using a client server based system and, you know, you know, the interface from Star Trek or, you know, Space Invaders inside of a SCADA package. You know, I would it was just a way to kinda let go and have fun and, you know, talk to colleagues, and I really, really miss those times. And so you guys have captured that, put it in a bottle. And I like that the Build A Thon, how you invite all your integrators to kinda take part in it. And, like, a lot of it can be pre you know, done before the show, and then, you know, you have your finalists to actually do something at the show. And if did that change, or is that still the same way? Paul Scott (Ignition): It’s still the same way. Yeah. Shawn Tierney (Host): Okay. Yeah. I think that’s so smart because it gets the whole community involved, but, you know, there’s not time for everybody to do that at the show. But with the with the collabs, I can definitely see even end users and OEMs and other people getting involved where they may not be an authorized integrator, but they they they are, you know, passionate about the product, and they wanna they wanna show off, or just have fun and and see if they can they can build anything in the time allotted. So I think your guys are really capturing the spirit and and innovation, ingenuity of your users and keeping that community. You said that the the the event seems like, very friendly, like, very familiar. It’s probably because you, you know, you have good customers and they keep coming back, and they keep learning, and you’re responsive to their request. We used to follow your your releases every or your point releases and what you would add, and you guys are very responsive to feedback. Again, we all know from the product side, you can’t add every request that somebody has. Sometime just like when you program in a POC, sometimes they’re like, well, can you just have it go from there to there? That sounds so easy. It’s like, none of the equipment can actually move from there to there, so that’s impossible. Right? So, I really love what you guys are doing with that. I wish more people on an issue would do that. I just think it’s and I remember times in the past where I was involved with things like that. It was just so much fun, but also that camaraderie you have and and, you know, just everybody’s working together to make the product better and find new uses for the product innovate in a ways innovative ways to use it. So, it’s pretty exciting, and I appreciate you going over that stuff for you. Now before we go any further, we should probably I should probably have you tell us where it is in the date because, the last thing I wanna do is wait till the end to say that because sometimes people, they don’t get to finish the podcast. They get to work. They have to pause it. Maybe they won’t come back. So can you share with us the, the date and where it’s located? Paul Scott (Ignition): Absolutely. Yeah. So the conference opens, Tuesday, September 16. K. In the last three days. Right? So we’ll go all the way to Thursday. And the venue is gonna be the Safe Credit Union, which is in Sacramento, California. This is actually pretty notable year for us because this is the first time where we we’ve gone to that venue, actually. The the conference has always been in Folsom, California in the Harris Center, which is a fantastic, location, but it’s, it’s one of those things where the conference has just been growing year after year after year. It’s like, alright. We gotta we gotta try to find somewhere a little bit larger to go. So really excited. Really excited for it. Shawn Tierney (Host): That’s awesome. So we’ve covered those parts of the conference. Are there other things we should talk about? Like, are there any pre camp, people coming in to do talks, or is there any, like, hands on training? Or what else are you guys doing at this conference? Paul Scott (Ignition): Sure. Yeah. So there’s gonna be a large number of talks, which I’m really excited about. Something we’ve introduced in the past and I encourage people to participate with this year is, this table talks activity, which is if you’ve ever heard of what a non conference is, it’s kind of our sort of telling of it. But it’s basically an opportunity for attendees to sort of suggest topics that they wanna talk about and try to have, like, a targeted group discussion. So the idea is that, you know, people suggest ideas. Hey. I wanna talk about x y z. I wanna talk about, you know, UNS or, you know, whatever. Right? Mhmm. We’ll put that up on a schedule, and then attendees will say, oh, okay. I can go talk about that at this time. And then it’s lightly moderated. Basically, we have someone in the room to kinda, like, start things off, but then the idea is to back off and then and it’s becoming kind of discussion. People can kinda go wherever they want fit. In the past, that has been sort of the source of inspiration for future sessions that have Okay. Have have come up at the conference. Right? So so I highly recommend people come check that out. Aside from that, we’re also collaborating with the private conference that actually happened earlier this year. I don’t know if you’re if you’re reserved familiar with it, but I’ll just do, like, a very quick overview. So yeah. No. It’s it’s the the main sort of, the interesting thing about Pruvit is that they ask their vendors to basically prove that their solutions work, which is where the name Pruvit kinda comes from. So, yeah, they they basically create a this entire conference where they create a virtual factory, they call it. So they have, you know, namespaces and all kind of data points that all the vendors are supposed to connect to, and they’re supposed to, like, build a solution that works with that virtual factory, and then they demonstrate how it solves, you know, modern solutions or modern or modern problems, how it solves those. Right? So that that’s kind of the fun thing is, like, it’s not just the vendor going on stage and say, hey. Buy my product. It’s like, okay. Cool. But what did it do? Like, what did you do with it? That that’s the that’s the main thing. So we’re partnering with them this year, to basically kinda take over our old exhibitor showcases, and they’re kinda running it with their style. We’re really excited to see what they do with it and kinda how they, you know, sort of force the the these these solutions to kinda, like, adhere to some standard. So I’m gonna come check out a couple of those talks. Right? They’re gonna be, you know, presentation style so you can kinda see what’s going on. But the idea is people will kinda show off their solutions. And and, yeah, you get to see how they how they’re supposed to work in a real Shawn Tierney (Host): kinda, I say real world setting, but, obviously, it’s virtual, but you get the idea. So, yeah, I’d say that’s another exciting thing to come check out. Yeah. Now I know I wasn’t able I’m not able to get out there, just because of the timing. But your company did say, well, Shawn, we’ll give you a virtual pass so you can share what you learn with the audience, and I appreciate that. Thank you. Could you describe that, though? So I’ve never been to your conference virtually. So, could you describe to our audience what that and there may be people here on the East Coast or down south who won’t be able to get out to the West Coast, for the show. What what is the virtual pass? Paul Scott (Ignition): Sure. Yeah. So, you know, I’m I’m trying to talk about all these other fun activities that are there at the venue, but, obviously, those those are kinda like side, you know, sides to the main event, which would be all of our sessions, all all of the, all the talks we’re gonna give you. Right? So the virtual pass would would really I like to check out the streams that we’re gonna do. Right? So you’ll be able to see these sessions play out the entire conference schedule, play out live. It also gives you access to recordings of them. So say for example, you know, talk comes up at a certain time, you’re busy, you got some other stuff going on, that’s fine. You can always sign back into the platform later on and check out the recording much sooner than, the videos are normally publicly available. Normally, we make all of our conference content, like, the recordings available the following year just because we do some cleanup, with them before we start them on our website. So so, yeah, it’s just a great opportunity to be able to check out all of the sessions. And I’d say, you know, that’s that’s definitely one of the main or really the one of the few gripes I ever kinda hear about the conference is that there’s too much to do. Like, there’s too many talks going on, so people can’t do everything, which is true for a lot of conferences. You know what I mean? I got I’m gonna do it in so many places. So, yeah, the that pass is a great way to make sure you’re able to to to see all the different talks. So Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I think that that is there’s always it’s, you could spend hours at some of these conferences prior to the conferences trying to map out the perfect the perfect. And then it gets blown up when you see somebody in the hallway in between sessions, and you’re like, I’m gonna miss what I you know, my main thing. But, anyways yeah. Yeah. So no. That’s good. That’s very good. And, so if anybody if especially if you’re using the product or looking at using the product and you really wanna get up to speed to learn more, find out what’s happening in the community, that’s a good alternative. And if the boss won’t let you out of work, at least you can catch the replays afterwards and, which is which is great, you know, and you still can feel like you’re you came up to speed, you know, without having to take a flight out there, which it would be better that, like, obviously, to do everything in person. But, sometimes, especially end users, they just it’s hard to get out of the plant. You know? And I shouldn’t say just that. End users, oh, yeah. It’s integrated. It can be it can be difficult to to travel halfway across the country and, you know, get that approved. But, hopefully hopefully, you’ll have a lot of people from the East Coast representing representing us. And, in any case so it just sounds like a great time. Sounds like a fun time. It’s coming up quick, so the people interested should try to sign up soon. What else do should we talk about about the conference? Paul Scott (Ignition): Well, you know, you you mentioned a little bit earlier, about sort of, the creativity of folks in this space. You you kinda Yeah. You kinda talk about making video games and stuff like that in in different systems. It’s kinda funny you mentioned that because one of the other activities we have is our we call it our SCADA arcade. So this Really? Yeah. So this this started off as, like, a project in our tech support division as sort of, like, a product knowledge development program where it’s like, hey. Make a video game in Ignition. Right? Which which is a little challenging because it’s not you know, it doesn’t have a lot of tools you’d find in, like, a modern, like, game engine. But, like, you know, that’s that’s engineers do great with with challenges like that, right, which is, I think, kinda to your point. So, yeah, we’re so, you know, in the past, we’ve basically brought these games that our support engineers have worked on just so people can check it out. This year, we’re returning to a larger room. We’re gonna try to have some some physical games there too so people can kinda play around and check it out. But, yeah, so that’s making a return. That that ended up being kind of a fan favorite, that that came out there. And then, I would also say, something else we’re doing this year is, we’re creating a room called The Hub. So one of the things we found it’s kind of funny running a a conference. This is something I didn’t really realize, but, there’s just a lot going on. And it turns out a lot of the attendees might wanna actually chat with someone. Shawn Tierney (Host): From Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Paul Scott (Ignition): And, it’s really hard when, like, you know, a good chunk of of your company is also running around, like, helping, facilitate the, the the conference. So we decided, alright. Let’s make a little room where we’re just gonna have people from different teams, you know, so, like, our support division or sales engineering, stuff like that. If you wanted to go talk to them or ask some questions. We’ll even have our product managers from software engineering. So if you wanted to, like, you know, mention, like, pinpoints or suggestions for ideas, there will be people there that you can kinda just chat and say hi. So, definitely recommend checking that out too. Just it’s a good way to kind of interact with the company. And I think that’s something that maybe a lot of your audience, a lot of attendees maybe don’t really realize that the conference is kind of a selfish thing for us because it’s a good opportunity for us to, like, talk to the folks that use the conference. That ends up being a huge draw for us. We we have a really strong community around the software. Right? And we we feel very blessed with it, you know, because there’s a lot of organizations out there that, you know, people have some not so nice things to say about the company for one reason or another. Right? But it it seems like we have some some really true true fans. So the conference is a is a fantastic time for us to really make sure we’re still connected to those folks where we’re still interacting. Like, you you sort of commented a little bit about us, like, reaching out to our community and interact with them. And so this is that’s really where that’s really why we’re here doing it every year is just we just like chatting with people and and throwing a little party where you can come and tell us what they’re working on. And and, it it it it it honestly, it motivates a lot of folks at the company. It also is a great introduction for a lot of folks because it’s maybe one of the things that’s a little less obvious, but maybe maybe once you think about it, it makes sense, is that, you know, we we’re a software company, which I know that seems kinda weird for me to say. But we’re we’re definitely, like, kind of we’re sort of like a step removed from the people that are using the software. Right? Like, we’re kind of a step at least a step or two away from from integration companies. Right? So the conference is a great way to say, hey. Come talk to these end users. Come talk to these integrators. See what they do with our software. Yeah. Right? Because that’s something that’s a little bit harder to capture, on their own at at IA. So we we like to make sure we’re talking with community members and sort of exposing them to, hey. Here’s what our users are doing. Here here’s here’s how the product actually gets used. So Yeah. That’s that’s a huge hugely important thing or aspect of the conference, I should say. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I mean, I think, over the years, one of the one of the bad trends we’ve seen, I think we’re all signed to realize this. You know, they say twenty twenty is hindsight is twenty twenty, is that, you’re not as you’re not as efficient or you can be super efficient when you’re conversing with people, when you’re talking to people, when you’re, in even in person. Right? That’s even better. And a lot of people, because of everything we’ve been through, doing everything remote or but you don’t you don’t get to see the inflections. You don’t get to understand. You know? And when you’re when you’re not not at a conference, you don’t usually have the time to really get into things on a deeper level. So there’s a lot of advantages. I know I’ve been doing this for thirty five years. I still learn new things talking to my students and talking to the vendors that come on. I’m learning stuff every day. And, if I just sat, read a book, and just sat and film videos, I would there must be so much I would never have learned. And because every every every human being is not all unique, but they’re in unique situations. And so for a vendor like yourself, Indefinitely see, you know, a conference like this, your customers are bringing you things that you’ve never thought of a certain way because you’ve never been in that situation. So it’s huge that you guys are doing this. Again, I recommend all vendors do something like this, but, I’m glad you guys are doing it. And, and I think that’s probably why you have a very loyal customer base. And, I, you know, I just wanna throw out there one thing too. Anybody who who is not a gamer, they do make, I actually built my own arcade machine, and they do make USB to arcade controls. So don’t poo poo it. You can actually take your favorite software package to make pong. Right? Anybody can do that, and, you can wire it to real arcade controls very simply and easily through, through a USB blob, block. So and it’s a lot of fun a lot of fun to do that too. So in any case, with that and, again, we know your your there’s a maker version of your software. We covered that in our first episode. And, so, you know, people can play with it if they want after hours and learn it as well. But in any case, so I’m looking forward to it already, even though I’m only gonna be attending virtually. Is there anything else we should cover in this episode about the conference itself or the company? Paul Scott (Ignition): Yeah. I I like to tell folks. I mean, there’s a lot to check out, and I’m obviously very I have some bias, and I’m very excited about a lot of things going on there. But, you know, if you can only, like, check out a few things, I’d I’d I would like to just kinda point out that we do have our two other keynotes that that we we have. So we have our main keynote and our technical keynote. And those are always usually very forward facing, forward thinking. So we kinda, like, talk a little bit about, you know, changes of the company, where the company is going, as well as the software. Right? Which which I think is what ends up pulling a lot of folks. Right? So it’s a it’s a conference for a piece of software. You figure go figure the the talk where we we we we we explore the future of the software ends up being the most popular one. So yeah. if, you know, end up not being able to attend, that’s totally okay. Maybe we’ll catch it in future use. But, yeah, once those recordings available, always recommend folks maybe check out those keynotes just because it can kind of kind of give you a little bit of insight of what we’re trying to do and where we’re going. So, but, yeah, no. I hope hope to continue to grow. Hope hope maybe we can get you out here on these times. I know, obviously, scheduling’s the the challenge, but love to love to have you come out, Shawn, sometime for sure. Shawn Tierney (Host): Yeah. I know I would enjoy. I know it would be a blast. And and I just wanna say out to the audience too, they do a great job of putting the point releases up like I’ve covered in my shows. And and really, they do a good and they do a lot of tongue and cheek with it too, which just makes it fun to read as well. But you can always see, and they they in those even in their regular point releases, they’re talking about things they wanna do, things that were customer suggestions, things they’re working on. So just kudos to the company for being so forward and transparent and really putting their customers first. And, yeah, I just I just was always impressed with those things. And, Paul, I just wanna thank you for coming on. What I’ll do is just so the audience knows, we’re gonna fill the, description with the important links so that you can either get your in person pass or you can get your virtual pass and, any other important links we think need to be in there so you guys don’t have to go search in the web or click, and they’ll be right there in the, description. I do wanna thank Inductive for making this episode ad free. We really appreciate it. So all that they’ve they’ve covered our cost to edit the episode and publish it so you guys are are enjoying it. So, Paul, thank your company for that, and, and, thank you for coming on the show. I really appreciate it. Paul Scott (Ignition): Yeah. Thanks for having me, Shawn. This is Shawn Tierney (Host): a lot of fun. Well, I hope you enjoyed that episode, and I wanna thank Paul for coming on the show and bringing us up to speed on the Ignition Community Conference. Really appreciate him coming on and sharing all those stories and all that information. And I wanna thank Inductive too for sponsoring the episode so we could bring you the audio and video completely ad free. That said, don’t forget all the links are in the description. And if you do use or are thinking about using, Ignition, then definitely consider going. I also was given a free pass to attend the virtual event, so I’ll try to get you guys reporting on that as the event is ongoing. Now with all that said, I do wanna thank you all for tuning back in this week. Please share the podcast with other people. It really helps us find new vendors to come on the show or maybe new product managers at existing vendors that we haven’t really hooked up with. So I really appreciate when you guys share the show out there. Let the vendors know you’re watching and listening. Or if you’re a vendor, let your colleagues know that it’s worth coming on the show because you get in front of this great audience. And with that said, I wanna wish you, my great audience, good health and happiness. And until next time, my friends, peace.

Julian Alaphilippe schrijft na vier jaar eindelijk weer een Touretappe op zijn naam, tenminste, dat moet hij gedacht hebben. Even daarvoor waren Tim Wellens (1e) en Victor Campenaerts (2e) al de meet gepasseerd. Arensman pakte de koninginnenrit van de Pyreneeën, Pogacar en UAE heersten, en God stapte af in tranen. Genoeg om over na te praten dus, en dat doen we LIVE vanuit PONG in Amsterdam-West.

Na de rustdag volgde een doldwaze ‘vlakke’ etappe met een spectaculair slot. En toen moest de eerste bergetappe nog beginnen. Voor het eerste de hoogte in en gelijk bijltjesdag voor God, Visma, Roglic et al. De Tour vraagt ook veel van de bankzitter. Jullie kunnen ons weer LIVE zien deze Tour de France: 18 juli - Tour de Dance Reprise in Tivoli, voorafgaand doen we een live podcast (vanaf ongeveer 21:30 uur) daarna feessie, voor gratis!

Met een Ier in het geel gaan we de eerste rustdag in, en daarmee zijn we alweer bijna op de helft van de Tour. Simon Yates wint haast per ongeluk een etappe, en wat was Arensman dicht bij de overwinning. En Mathieu van der Poel bewijst maar weer eens: met hem is het nóóit saai. Tijd om op adem te komen, die rustdag hebben we wel verdiend.

Het was stuivertje wisselen om het geel tussen Van der Poel en Pogacar, maar na de eerste week lijkt Pogacar de trui stevig in handen te hebben. Echte bergen hebben we nog niet gezien, toch staat de concurrentie al op een minuut achterstand. Kan Visma de sloveen laten kraken?

We zijn los! Het openingsweekend van de Tour zit er alweer op en wat is er veel gebeurd: waaiers, valpartijen en nu al tijdsverschillen tussen de klassementsmannen. En dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over het geel van Van der Poel of de sprintsuccessen van Philipsen en Merlier. De Lage Landen domineren deze Tour de France, en dat is wel eens anders geweest. Dus laten we daar allemaal heel hard van blijven genieten!

Daar is ‘ie dan. De Tour de France, het absolute hoogtepunt van het wielerjaar. De enige reden waarom Giertje het hele jaar wielrennen kijkt. Om in vorm te zijn voor de Tour. En dat geldt eigenlijk voor het hele peloton. Pogi, Vingegaard, God en Roglic, wat een heerlijke line up. En dan is er natuurlijk altijd nog een derde hond die het kegelspel hoopt te winnen. Pogi is de absolute favoriet maar de getrainde luisteraar weet dat er een theorie in aantocht is. Een theorie die alle gebaande paden wegvaagt en elke vorm van verwachtingsmanagement het rijk der fabelen verwijst. Hoe kraak je iemand die alles kan?

En este mensaje tratamos el siguiente caso de una mujer que «descargó su conciencia» de manera anónima en nuestro sitio www.conciencia.net, autorizándonos a que la citáramos: «Necesito ayuda, pues no sé cómo encontrar a Dios de nuevo. Siempre he conocido de Dios, pero debido a muchas situaciones que han pasado en mi vida, me he apartado. Ahora siento que he perdido mi espiritualidad. Oro y no siento lo mismo que antes. Es como si no me conectara con Dios. Antes era muy fácil, y me llenaba de paz. Pero ahora es como si Dios ya no quisiera saber de mí. He tenido ansiedad y depresión, y siento que no hay respuesta para mí.» Este es el consejo que le dio mi esposa: «Estimada amiga: »Lamentamos que se sienta tan sola y perdida, pero le tenemos muy buenas noticias: ¡Dios no la ha abandonado! Lo cierto es que Él “está cerca de quienes lo invocan, de quienes lo invocan de verdad.”1 Esas palabras del Rey David implican que quienes invocan a Dios pueden estar haciéndolo de verdad o con falsedad. »¿Qué querrá decir invocar a Dios con falsedad? Pongámoslo en el contexto de comunicarse con una amistad cercana. Si usted llama a una amistad cercana y le pide que le preste dinero para comprar comida para sus hijos, pero tiene más bien la intención de gastarlo comprando un collar de oro, con eso está llamando con falsedad a esa amistad. O si le dice a esa amistad que ella es su mejor amiga, pero usted solamente la llama cuando necesita ayuda, entonces la está llamando con falsedad. O si la amiga ha tratado de ayudarla a sobreponerse a la adicción al alcohol, pero usted no deja de engañarla al ocultarle su consumo de alcohol, entonces nuevamente la está llamando con falsedad. »Una de las diferencias entre su amiga y Dios es que a Dios no se le puede engañar. Él sabe lo que de veras estamos pensando, así como lo que de veras nos está motivando. Quienes invocan a Dios con falsedad no lo están engañando a Él, sino que se están engañando a sí mismos. Creen que, como Dios es amor, Él tiene la obligación de darles cualquier cosa que le pidan. Y creen que, si Dios se niega a hacerlo, es porque no está interesado en ellos y los ha abandonado. »Nosotros no tenemos ninguna manera de saber si usted ha estado invocando a Dios con falsedad o de verdad. Así que hágase estas preguntas: ¿Me estoy esforzando al máximo por basar mis hechos y mi actitud en los principios de la Palabra de Dios (la Biblia)? ¿Hay algo que estoy tratando de ocultarle a Dios? ¿Me comunico con Dios con regularidad, o sólo oro cuando hay algo que deseo? ¿Qué estoy haciendo para llegar a conocer mejor a Dios? »Usted menciona que ha tenido ansiedad y depresión. Lamentablemente, esas condiciones pueden ofuscar sus pensamientos y desviar sus sentimientos. En otras palabras, es posible que Dios esté muy cerca de usted, pero la ansiedad y la depresión están impidiendo que sienta su presencia divina. Le rogamos que haga una cita con su médica y que le pida que la evalúe para recibir servicios de salud mental.» Con eso termina lo que recomienda Linda, mi esposa.

Er was geen koers de afgelopen dagen!! Alhoewel, het Nederlands kampioenschap tijdrijden, noem het maar niks. Maar het was niet zo alomvattend als de afgelopen weken en al helemaal niet zo goed gevuld als het de komende maand gaat zijn. Er wordt gerust, getraind, genoten. Een mooi moment voor ons om de postzak weer eens te legen en de laatste wielernieuwtjes uit te diepen. Ook blikken we vooruit naar het NK, wat een waar sprintersbal belooft te worden. Viel spass! Jullie kunnen ons weer LIVE zien deze Tour de France!: 18 juli - Tour de Dance Reprise in Tivoli, voorafgaand doen we een live podcast (vanaf ongeveer 21:30 uur) daarna feessie, voor gratis! Wees op tijd want vol=vol! 20 juli - Etappe kijken en daarna podcast bij PONG te Amsterdam West! Ticketlinkje volgt nog, Vrienden van de Show krijgen voorrang!

Ever feel like Montessori is a game of ping pong? *Ping* It's all about following precise lessons and materials!, *Pong* it's about letting kids do whatever they want all day.Well, put those table tennis paddles down, friends! Montessori is NEITHER a strict script NOR a total free-for-all. It's a balance, a sweet spot of freedom within structure.

The Hunt shall continue until morale improves. Or until we finish this mini-series, whichever comes first. My money is on the mini-series. I mean, we are almost there. I can hear the leviathan singing. In the days before the internet and Pong, man only had rocks to play with. And the man with the biggest rock, usually won. But what about the country with the biggest rock? Speaking of big, the big man does not always win. Sometimes he gets the stuffing beat out of him. Sometimes he gets his wallet stolen. Sometimes it is his shoe. Sometimes it is all three. You should always take big chances. For example, if you find yourself being thrown from a flying craft, above a giant ocean, take a chance on this big opportunity. You are already up in the air. You are either going to survive the landing or not, have some fun. Do a flip or two. Try flying. Take up religion. You have nothing to lose. Oh. You should also take this chance to explore the bounds of physics. Why not....might as well. Big battles are awesome . They are more awesome when you have a chance of winning. They are even better when you are not over a big body of water. And then there is a big shark. You really never want to meet one of those. I hope you enjoyed this big talk about this big issue.   Check out the pictures from the episode:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/06/06/infinity-the-hunt-3-passfail/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

This week, get ready for a whole loot box of gaming-related stories!First up, we find out about a video game that could give people the power to battle misinformation. We also hear how scientists are putting harbour seals in front of a computer monitor to decipher how they navigate under the water. And Dr Brett Kagan from Cortical Labs joins us down the line to tell us why he taught a clump of brain cells to play the 1970s arcade game Pong. Along the way, we discover what happens when artificial intelligence tries to explain idioms, we learn about a tiny frog named after Bilbo Baggins and try to establish whether or not video games benefit your brain. All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements.     Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Kai Kupferschmidt and Leonie Joubert Producer: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, with Margaret Sessa Hawkins, Imaan Moin and Minnie Harrop

Did you know that the first commercially available home video game was "Pong," released in 1972?Since then, access to video games has increased exponentially over the last 50+ years, with the rise accelerating further with the introduction of mobile games on our phones.And yes...they can be fun, challenging, and stimulating, but at what cost?All this month, Susan is joined by Ian McCready, the founder of Self-Ctrl, a Northwest Arkansas Non-profit that has taken on the mission to expose the traumatic and addictive nature of video games and screen time and, as their mission statement says: To serve families and individuals by educating, equiping and empowering them to build self control around screen time and video gaming to redeem the time for good works.For more information on SELF-CTRL, to find their free resources, and to donate to this fantastic cause, you can go to their website: SELF-CTRL

00:04:20 - 00:14:25: FBI's Role in January 6 and Lack of TransparencyKash Patel and Dan Bongino's evasive responses on FBI's involvement in January 6, suggesting a deep state operation. Critique of their alignment with the party line, lack of clarity, and distrust in forthcoming information being filtered through Congress. Mentions Jeffrey Epstein's death as a non-suicide, reflecting broader skepticism of official narratives.00:31:50 - 00:42:13: Media Manipulation and PropagandaDiscussion of Caitlin Johnstone's article on how Western media uses distortions, emphasis, and omissions to shape narratives, particularly on Israel-Palestine. Emphasis on the need to focus on raw data to counter manipulation, with examples of underreported issues like starvation in Gaza versus overreported stories like Russia-Ukraine.00:46:29 - 00:59:40: Lab-Grown Meat as a Control MechanismCritique of lab-grown meat as a tool for corporate control, removing self-sufficiency in food production. Discussion of its ethical and environmental claims as hollow, with concerns about engineered scarcity and dependence on conglomerates. Mentions the unappetizing nature of lab-grown products like the “world's largest cultivated chicken nugget.”01:13:29 - 01:17:16: Montana's Ban on Warrantless Data PurchasesMontana's Senate Bill 282 prohibits law enforcement from buying personal data (e.g., geolocation, financial records) without a warrant, closing the data broker loophole. Critique of government's data buying/selling practices, with DMVs profiting millions (e.g., Florida: $77M, California: $52M in 2017).01:19:55 - 01:26:01: Meta's Facial Recognition Glasses and Surveillance RisksMeta plans to integrate facial recognition into Ray-Ban smart glasses, enabling real-time identification of passersby, raising severe privacy concerns. Unlike fixed cameras, mobile glasses are harder to detect, potentially enabling mass surveillance by individuals or government.01:27:35 - 01:37:47: Transphobia Investigation Over Lucy SkeletonBrazilian woman faces up to three years in prison for calling Lucy the skeleton female, deemed transphobic by activists who argue ancient fossils could have had modern gender identities. Critique of this as an attack on objective reality and scientific fact.01:55:04 - 02:00:25: Israel's Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation of GazaNetanyahu admits to ethnic cleansing goals in Gaza, citing destruction of homes and lack of countries accepting Palestinian refugees. Israel's blockade and use of food to lure starving civilians criticized as inhumane, with growing disapproval even among Republicans (Pew: 37% unfavorable views by 2025).02:00:42 - 02:12:27: Measles Panic and Vaccine DangersMedia exaggerates measles as the “world's most infectious disease” (e.g., one DC case, 300 in Texas out of 31 million). Child's death misattributed to measles was due to medical error (delayed antibiotics for pneumonia). Critique of vaccine schedules causing autism/allergies and mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines, requiring hazmat cleanup but injected into children.02:17:42 - 02:34:50: Susan Monterey's CDC Appointment and Biosecurity ConcernsSusan Monterey, appointed CDC director, criticized for biosecurity ties (ARPA-H, BARDA, DARPA) and vaccine advocacy. RFK Jr.'s endorsement as a Maha supporter questioned as a betrayal, given her support for AI-driven health projects (e.g., predicting diseases from personal data) and high-risk biomedical research, likened to pandemic manufacturing.02:34:50 - 02:42:09: NGOs and Government Funding Woke IdeologyUS government (CIA, USAID) and NGOs (Ford, Rockefeller Foundations) funded gay pride and transgenderism since the 1980s, evolving into woke ideology. Framed as a satanic agenda to destroy Western civilization, driven by spiritual forces beyond earthly institutions, with government as a tool of higher powers.02:47:22 - 03:03:14: Biological Computers and Brain-Computer InterfacesCortical Labs' Cow One uses human brain cells for neural networks, trained to play Pong, with potential for drug testing. DARPA, NIH, and Obama's BRAIN Initiative fund BCIs for military applications (e.g., memory transfer, neuro-weapons), raising concerns about mind control, transhumanism, and technocratic control via public-private partnerships.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/Pop quiz: What's the longest-running video game in history? It's not Pac-Man or Donkey Kong or even Pong… it's The Oregon Trail. A true pioneer (and we don't just mean the ones in the covered wagons), the Oregon Trail has sold more than 65 million copies (that's more than the Beatles' White Album) and it spawned an “edu-tainment” industry now worth over $6B. But this wholesome game was created by three Minnesota student teachers, without a single thought towards making money… which is exactly why Oregon Trail made so much of it. Find out why this iconic game is a textbook MVP (Minimum Viable Product)… how an acquisition by Shark Tank's “Mr. Wonderful” almost led to a collab with Barbie… and why the Oregon Trail is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.
