Microship Daily Updates

Working on SSB tuner installation and connection to backstay, clearing the console zone and identifying legacy cables. And my waterproof GPS datalogger kit is now ready for sale.

The most current detailed project updates are over at the Nomadness blog (most recently on May 31 - there's a large backlog in the editor, but I've been swamped). This page carries fleeting bits of news like eBay sales, current books, and random notes of possible interest. The Nomadness blog has an RSS feed (Subscribe) and you can also follow me if you are a Twitterite. Here are the last few tweets...

I'm recording Satie's Gnossiennes 1-4, which I have been working on for a couple of months. My delightful little Zoom H2 recorder (about the handiest audio gadget ever) is cabled into the studio, making it easy to do a take and then see how bad it was. The price on those has just dropped to $179, so if you need a field recorder, I highly recommend it.

The Reaching Escape Velocity book is now in the eStore at CreateSpace and over here on Amazon! This is the whole collection of my "trade secrets" for working with sponsors, volunteers, and media... stuff I have never published before. If you're trying to pull off a grand caper, this will be very helpful.

The Microship General Store (RSS Feed) has lots of goodies, some of which you surely need, and I also have a small bookstore on Amazon.

The front door of this web site is the place to start, and the Nomadness site (including a regularly updated blog) carries the most focused current info about the boat project.
