Drones are Everywhere

The FAA's database of registered drones was just short of 800,000 craft, as of the end of 2023. Roy Shrout will discuss with the Pi what this aerial invasion means in terms of safety, security, and privacy at our March General Meeting.

Join! Or Renew!

Once upon a time, Pi members typed in programs printed on computer printouts. Today members download programs from across the Internet. One thing both eras have in common: there is always more to learn, to share, and discover. Join or renew your membership as we chart a path path to the future.

Wanted: a few good Journals!

Yes, we really do want these issues, if you have them.

The Pi has posted a massive library of Washington Apple Pi Journal issues from 1979 to 2016, with thousands of pages of information on everything from Apple II interrupts to adding ringtones to an iPhone. If you have any of these issues and wouldn't mind giving them to us so that we could scan and post them, please write to webmaster@wap.org.

Meanwhile, a photo of a mug:

Ceramic version of Washington Apple Pi mug. A MUG (Macintosh User Group) is not normally cast in ceramic, and normally avoids water due to unfortunate side effects involving liquids, electronics, and electricity, but this mug is hydrophilic. Our highly photogenic model is former Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg.
