Provizio, the leader in mobility safety, has expanded its automotive portfolio with their software-defined antenna reference board using radar technology from Texas Instruments, a global pioneer in semiconductor technology. Provizio is on a mission to make mobility safer and more intelligent through affordable, advanced perception imaging radar that works reliably in challenging weather conditions. Provizio's cutting-edge software defined antenna solution uses the AWR2944 radar sensor from Texas Instruments. This solution sets a new benchmark for advanced imaging radar perception and safety systems in the rapidly evolving automotive landscape. At the heart of this imaging radar system is the integration of Provizio's MIMSO Software Defined Antenna Reference Design with the single-chip 77GHz 4D Imaging Radar chip from Texas Instruments. This innovative design transforms a single radar SoC into 48 virtual receiver channels, achieving sub 0.5° angular resolution and enabling precise detection and tracking of objects, including pedestrians, cars, and trucks. Powered by Provizio's proprietary MIMSO and SPTDMA technologies, the design delivers 20x higher resolution from a single chip, addressing critical challenges of cost and performance in high-performance radar systems. The design is on display at CES 2025 with a live vehicle demonstration at Provizio's Westgate Hotel suite location, along with the reference design shown in TI's booth in the Las Vegas Convention Center in North Hall, N116. Transforming automotive safety and perception The inclusion of this reference design is vital for advancing safety in mobility by making it generally available for automotive & industrial OEMs and Tier 1s. By delivering precise, real-time detection and tracking of objects such as pedestrians and vehicles, it enhances a vehicle's ability to respond to potential hazards. This innovation is a key step towards significantly reducing the risk of accidents, building added trust in autonomous technology, and supporting the development of safer, more reliable transportation systems. Speaking on the announcement, Barry Lunn, CEO & Co-Founder of Provizio said: "We have known for some time that 4D Imaging radar is key to unlocking safer driving and next generation ADAS, however cost has been a key challenge that has held back rollout across all vehicles. This work between Provizio and TI balances the perception and system cost challenges of high-performance imaging radar." Lunn added: "To achieve 0.5deg angular resolution using just a single TI radar chip is a testament to the proprietary antenna innovation of the Provizio development team and also the embedded power of the TI radar SoC." Dedicated to enable scalable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving solutions, Provizio develops the future of radar. See more stories here.

Welcome back to episodes 62 and 63. We are getting seriously spooky ooky with a two part ghost tour of the Las Vegas strip. In episode 62 we start at the north end of the strip and work our way down through residential homes, sketchy motels, and the well known hotel/casinos. We have mobsters, we have celebrities, we have super creepy pervy bathroom ghosts and so much more. As an added bonus Lolo gets another slang lesson, we learn a new prison word, Lizza's dog goes bonkers on a bone in the background and Lolo's cat collar occasionally jingles, so that's super fun. Get ready to place your bets and see what the odds are that you may have been to one of these famous locations.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/todieforpodcast)

It’s a very Happy Half Hour indeed this week as we tape from rooftop pool deck at the Westgate Hotel, and chat with local jazz hero Gilbert Castellanos about its weekly summer concerts, the Sunset Poolside Jazz Series. CEO Jeff Fenster is our special guest this week. He founded Everbowl, a San Diego-based acai bowl and juice chain, and this year's Reader's Pick for Healthy Eats in our annual Best Restaurants list. Fenster started Everbowl in 2016, which has now expanded to 22 locations across Southern California—with two just added in Hillcrest and Little Italy. The superfood bowl company lets customers build their own bowl with pitaya (dragonfruit), graviola, acerola, acai, and a plethora of natural toppings. Fenster shared with us how (and why) he made the career shift from getting a law degree to owning a payroll company and founding the growing restaurant chain. His pick for Two People, $50 is Naked Café in Solana Beach, and the staff liked Starlite and Fauna in the Valle de Guadalupe. Julie P. from Scripps Ranch wrote in to say to check out Ariana Kabob House in Mira Mesa. In Hot Plates, chef Daniel Barron takes the role of executive chef at The Oceanaire Seafood Room downtown (where Brian Malarkey once worked). The owners of the former Moto Deli in Encinitas have opened a new Mexican-Italian restaurant concept in the same location, Valentina, with Alex Carballo running the kitchen. A big name in the culinary world made his way to San Diego: Nathan Myhrvold from Modernist Cuisine Lab in Seattle was just here to open his fourth art gallery in La Jolla. You may have seen the late Anthony Bourdain interview Nathan for an episode of “Parts Unknown” or read one of his Modernist Cuisine cookbooks. Nathan is famous for his avant-garde food photography, which he accomplishes by using catapults, high-speed cameras and robots that he builds himself. David’s 60 Second Beer Review this week is Amplified Aleworks’ Hopp Puddin’. As far as Hot Topics go, we learned from a recent article in NPR that one-fifth of all the food waste in American homes is attributed to confusion over food labels and the “sell by” and “use by” dates, and discussed what the FDA wants to do to change this. Please come and join us and see the Happy Half Hour live at Eppig Brewing’s Waterfront Biergarten on July 8 at 3 p.m. We will be sampling the first of three collaboration beers we are doing with Eppig, Fall, and Coronado brewing in celebration of our Best of San Diego issue.

This week, we’re at the pool deck of the Westgate Hotel, which is famous for its elegant Sunday brunch and high tea, and chatting with local jazz hero Gilbert Castellanos about its Sunset Poolside Jazz Series. Our special guest this week is Chef Quinnton “Q” Austin, who recently moved to San Diego from the Big Easy and leads the kitchen at Louisiana Purchase. Chef Q was chef de cuisine at the legendary Antoine’s, and he shared with us what it was like to work at a place with so much history. He also revealed how insanely busy that restaurant is (they serve 700 people at lunch time on average), his impression of San Diego’s dining scene and how it differs from the chef culture in the French Quarter, and what goes into the alligator andouille cheesecake he created for the North Park restaurant. In Hot Plates, the big news was the Michelin Guide’s reveal of its Bib Gourmand picks for San Diego, which included eight restaurants, and we have a lot of opinions about the list. H Mart revealed a cool Korean food hall at its new location on Balboa Avenue, Bibigo Kitchen recently opened a Korean BBQ spot in Fashion Valley, and Bankers Hill gets its first brewery and tasting room with Pure Project. David’s 60 Second Beer Review this week is Pariah Brewing’s Intermittent Availability IPA. In Hot Topics, we talked about the new Taco Bell-themed pop-up hotel in Palm Springs and wondered who this would appeal to, and the staff’s picks for Two People, $50 are The Smoking Goat, Din Tai Fung, and Miguel’s Cocina in Point Loma. A listener called in and said their pick is Tribute Pizza. Please come and join us and see the Happy Half Hour live at Eppig Brewing’s Waterfront Biergarten on July 8 at 3 p.m. We will be sampling the first of three collaboration beers we are doing with Eppig, Fall, and Coronado brewing in celebration of our Best of San Diego issue.

A conversation to nowhere, with special guest Aaron Hegji. Recorded at the Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Music: Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Thrice - Send Me an Angel (Real Life cover)
I'm doing an experiment this week. I'm doing minimal post-editing and podcasting without fancy intro, outro and bumper music. As we called it “back in the day”, live to the hard drive. This is not a format change. It's just to show you that you don't need to do all that fancy stuff to put out a good podcast. In fact, I'm recording from my mobile studio (my van) using the mobile setup. --------------------- Just a bit about my “Real Radio” guest hosting the other day…. --------------------- Apple changes the artwork spec (again) New Software out for podcasters New Version of Audacity 2.1.0 New version of Powerpress 6.0.2 -------------------- Complicated does not mean good Sometimes complicated makes things better. Sometimes not. Complicated web sites do not get your more viewers to your website and can cause operational problems with your podcast More complicated production of your show won't get your more listeners (most of the time) Better mic *might* help if your audio is crappy. but once you get a good sound, go on to the next thing Find a workflow that you are comfortable with and then concentrate on the content rather than the tech. The default feed from wordpress and powerpress is best. Channels are second best. Post types (even though they are complicated to setup) are 3rd best followed in LAST place by category feeds. Don't start a Network when you are new at podcasting. Start with one show and make it Good. Then maybe start other podcasts. Don't start by trying to do interviews by skype. Don't try to make everything perfect right away. Your first show is going to suck compared to your 10th, which will suck compared to your 45th (I hope) :) ------------------ Blubrry Tip of the Week This one is for the listeners. Blubrry is 3 different things. 1. Podcast Services company - Powerpress, Hosting, Stats 2. Podcast Directory - http://www.blubrry.com/explore/ 30k+ podcasts 3.

Does size matter? This is for those of you that have been podcasting a while. itunes feed size limit is 512k You don't want your feed to take a long time to load. Ways to limit the size of your feed. Limit your feed to the last 50 episodes (299 is the limit in iTunes) Use Feed Maximizer tool in powerpress ---------------- New Media Expo / NAB Show April 13th - 16th at Las Vegas Convention Center and Westgate Hotel and Casino I will be at the Rawvoice / Blubrry booth (N7709) in north hall at NAB / NMX at LVCC. Stop by and say Hi if you are going to NABShow --------------- Catch me next time. --------------- New PROMO code for Blubrry.

Amazon is one. If you shop at Amazon, and everyone does, click on my banner first and then go do your shopping. It doesn't cost you anything more and gives me a little kickback.
