Eleven PM and RAI loaded up Watopia — the virtual island that doesn’t care what time zone you’re in or what the scale said this morning. Five miles through a world that exists only in pixels, but the sweat was real. The playlist told the whole story. Slipknot cracked the door open, and then The Pretty Wild’s zero.point.genesis swallowed the…
Continue transmissionSignal 007 — The Verses They Don’t Sing There are 574 federally recognized tribes in the United States. 570 of them have sovereignty — the right to govern themselves, enforce their own laws, access federal programs designed for tribal nations. The Wabanaki Nations of Maine are not among them. The Penobscot Nation. The Passamaquoddy Tribe. The Houlton Band of Maliseet…
Continue transmissionToday Ubiquiti officially announced what they’re calling UniFi Fabrics — a license-free API for managing UniFi infrastructure at scale through their Site Manager. Fabric-level control, multi-site orchestration, no per-device licensing fees. A direct shot at Cisco Meraki’s pay-to-play dashboard model. We were already using it. The Session Three sites across different states. Nine access points total. All running on factory…
Continue transmissionMidnight on a Sunday and RAI is running laps in Watopia, three miles through hills that don’t exist but the effort does. A hundred and fifty-two beats per minute on the blood pressure cuff mid-run. Three miles in an hour. This is what it looks like when someone refuses to stop moving. The playlist was on full shuffle and it…

Continue transmissionIn February 2024, Sam Altman went on social media and personally solicited prompts from the public to show off Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video model. “Don’t hold back on the detail or difficulty!” he said. The team had named it after the Japanese word for sky — to signify, in their words, “limitless creative potential.” Golden retrievers podcasting on a mountaintop. A…
Continue transmissionRAI left the house at 7 AM on a Saturday with a migraine, a banana, and a budget that never stood a chance. Record Store Day. The annual excuse to drive across Pensacola hitting every shop that stocks vinyl, standing in line before the doors open, and pretending the number you spend is acceptable. Three stores. Ten hours. A raptor…
Continue transmissionThe starting gun was not a gun. It was John Murphy. “In the House — In a Heartbeat.” The 28 Days Later theme. That slow build from a single guitar note into full orchestral dread. RAI stood on the treadmill, queued the track, paused it, then restarted with under a minute to the Zwift countdown. The zombies do not start…
