National Weather Service fiscal scandal evokes thunderstorm of cheap weather references by SFB staff
Looks like Tropical Storm Beryl isn’t the only storm brewin’: The National Weather Service just had its director step down after a hailstorm of criticism following an improperly forecasted allocation of bonuses to contractors. We’re sure that while those workers had mostly sunny days, taxpayers have a lower level of barometric pressure these days for misappropriated funds — especially $43 million worth, which is high whether you’re looking in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Recently, the storm trackers — er, auditors — showed up. As a result, Jack Hayes felt the humidity rising in his position and got out after the heat got to hot to bear. (Editor’s note: Sorry. We couldn’t help ourselves.)
Weather or not…

Darin, Darach and I met up Friday for a few hours to play with some of my spare routers/Access Points. Most of the units wouldn’t support Open WRT, but one WAP54G seemed to. After a few hours of messing about with OpenWRT on Friday evening, and an hour or so of troubleshooting, we declared the WAP54gv2 brick’d.
This weekend, Darin went out and secured a couple more test routers, including a Netgear WNDR3300. He had to downgrade the version of OpenWRT in order to get the right wireless drivers, but he reports that he’s got it installed, and that wireless works. Seems the WNDR3300 needs Kamikaze 8.09, not 8.09.[1,2] for the wireless to work?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4czmjYYk41ruo9wuo1_1280.jpg)

Maurice Sendak, the children’s author and illustrator best known for the 1963 classic “Where the Wild Things Are,” has died at age 83.
The Brooklyn-born author lost many family members in the Holocaust and spent time in bed with health problems as a child. After seeing the Disney movie “Fantasia” at the age of 12, he resolved to become an illustrator.
