- A couple of photos from a recent hike in the Eagle Cap Wilderness area in northeastern Oregon. #legorelake #eaglecap
- A bit of rain on my run today. #wallawalla
- My 5 year old electric mower. My previous gas mower lasted twenty years and never caught fire. Bought a cheap gas mower to replace this one. #egomower
- 20 mile hike along the Snake River today. Really beautiful. photos.app.goo.gl/Hc3LgwQFdMFx...
- Cottonwood Creek
- People that know more employment law than me, are the people at DOGE open to civil liability if bad things happen because of their indiscriminate firings? Or, are they indemnified by the federal government? I think there's _a lot_ of messy litigation coming that will last for years.

- Create a custom feed for your friends. Here's a howto video I made. For folks coming from facebook and wanting to keep track of what your friends are talking about, this shows how to make a custom feed with just those friends. youtu.be/8kQUDEZaKGk @bsky.app
- I found a better solution that seems to be built in to bluesky. Go to the "Feeds" link on the left side bar and pin the "Mutuals" feed. This is a feed that lets you see posts of people that follow you. It updates automatically as people follow you. A better option than a custom list.
- Just finished Ted Chiang's short story collection "Exhalation: Stories". Some excellent stories that explore free will, memory, AI among other ideas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhalat... I've been on a short story kick recently.
- It is well and truly winter today. #whitmancollege
- I've always had a weird little spot in my heart for Roger Waters' 1987 album 𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 𝘒.𝘈.𝘖.𝘚. Listening to it today for the first time in a while and am shocked at how much the 3rd song 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘉𝘦 fits the current times--nearly 40 years later. open.spotify.com/track/2I5CHk...
- Our annual birthday picture. At the Redondo Beach Superbowl 10k finish line.
- Math and science night at Edison Elementary. We had a blast!
- I was hoping we were skipping snow this winter.
- Apropos of nothing, I can't tell you how many times I waited in line for concert tickets at a Sam Goody's that was in the green box in the 80's. The red circled X is where the plane crashed in Phila on Jan 31. Sad to think about traveling all the way to CHOP for treatment and dying on the way home.
- Along Mill Creek this evening during my run. We've had a nice string of clear, cool days here in Walla Walla.
- Up in the Blue Mountain foothills east of Walla Walla, WA.
- I wrote an n-body simulator in p5js and initialized it with 3 equidistant "planets". It stays stable for a while, but eventually spins apart in a beautifully chaotic way. Enjoy. youtu.be/nzu2opoEa2w #chaos #3body #p5js
- First post. Bravely revealing all that I am to the palm readers out there.
