Learning Morse Code (or Someone Needs A Job)

-
I recently decided to learn Morse Code. Yes, that’s right Morse Code. I started at a little NSA site called America’s CryptoKids. A fun little site our government uses to help find young code geniuses for future abduction. (Click on Operation Dit Dah.)

Then I downloaded this MP3 at learnmorsecode.com of the letters A thru Z in Morse tones.

Finally, I felt like a good combination of visual and audio representations of Morse Code were lacking so I created this QuickTime Movie: MorseCodeTutor.mov.

Yes, all to learn Morse Code.

UPDATE: CLICK HERE for an excelent Morse learning device for Windows, Mac, Linux even DOS.

Well, Morse Code is for communication so it is therefore social. And yet I think we can weigh the bulk of the activity on demented and said.

Rumor has it that the beeping noise when a Honda door is open is morse code for "H". Can you bust this myth for me?

well anonymous my Civic was either pre-beeping noise or the beeper was broken, but I would need to know what the actual beep sounds like.

If it is 4 identical tones of any kind it could be construed as an "H."

OMG, NYC MTA on PSP

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3i2y4sEQpRI"> This one seems kind of obvious, but hey I haven't seen one yet. I also couldn't find one with google. So here ya go. A NYC Subway Map for the SONY Playstation Portable (PSP.) Fun, safe and crystal clear. (in fact you could even take the resolution down to save precious memory stick space.) WARNING: I am fairly sure I should say you may not use this map. It is not to be downloaded by clicking Here and dropped into a PHOTO folder on your PSP. It should also not be viewed using the magnifying glass (found when you push the triangle button.) And finally you should not use the Joystick to navigate thru the map. Ok, that should satisfy the boys in legal. Enjoy. UPDATE: This map was obtained from www.nycsubway.org and was designed by Michael Calcagno.

Faxing from your iPhone is now as easy as 1, 2, 3! A little company called eFax.com exists to help you receive and send faxes from your computer/laptop. The beauty is they have a way to send faxes from your iPhone as well. And it comes in a FREE 30 day trial. 1. Create the text you wish to fax in an email 2. Send that email to the phone number you wish to fax plus @efaxsend.com (ex. 555-555-1212@efaxsend.com) Hmm, I guess its actually as easy as 1, 2. Let me also say that I know damn well this will work on any phone/PDA that can send an email, but I’ll be damned if I am gonna give up all that tasty iPhone traffic. On a side note, a nifty little fax prank that GNF does not condone goes as follows. Get yourself a sheet of black paper. Fax it to someone. They run out of ink. Mean right? So do not do it! On an entirely different subject, if you are interested in Scientology you can contact them at this number (727) 441-8849. Oh, wait never mind. That's their fax number.
