one of the early, pioneering #phonephreaks

Yea, I heard the #offthehook #2600oth radio #wbai and podcast folks talk about him over the years, since the 1980s.

Thx for the reminder about the doc at #sundancefilmfestival

"Josef Carl Engressia Jr., aka: Whistler, later known as Joybubbles...He could whistle a perfect 2600 Hz tone"

Heard about this on 2600's #OffTheHook radio show from yesterday (listening from my podcatcher). Yeah, it's in German, but it's a good read as is the video in the article. Or, you can listen to OTH from 2026-01-07.

They really don't care

Also, the schools that have a "bell to bell ban" it seems the kids aren't having it.

They bring in PCs or Tablets and use the schools wifi and #googledocs to #textchat with fellow students, in the classroom

⭕#offthehook talks about this "fix" to kids wasting time in school
