“Have to be mindful of chicks and tiggers!” - said by me this morning when I was thinking of ticks and chiggers, but from now on I’m saying it this way!Hello friends! We’ve made it to a new week. We were lucky enough to have a cool front come through, so it’s much nicer than it was last week! You take what you can...
A rare low-humidity morning begins with crows heralding the sunrise and a screech owl trilling in the distance. Yellow clouds fade to white. A bluebird begins warbling as I open my laptop.
A while back I had lunch with Jeremy Fox, of Dynamic Ecology, and since we each had a book part-way done, we were talking about that. His became the excellent The Ecology of Ecologists; mine was the 3rd edition of The Scientist’s Guide to Writing, which just came out a couple of weeks ago. (Hooray!) […]
Some 50 years ago this month, two sister sluggers, the 8-inch-gunned heavy cruisers USS Des Moines (CA-134) and Newport News (CA-148), rest on red lead row in Philadelphia, August 1976 USN Photo K-117046. The massive Des Moines, tipping the scales at 21,000 tons, entered the fleet in November 1948 and was laid up...
While the huge (37 ounces, unloaded) H&K Mk23 SOCOM freakbeast in .45ACP is well known in the West, at least in video game use, the Bundeswehr’s similar (in concept) P12 flies largely under the radar. You know, this bad boy: The beefy Mk23 was a stepping stone for HK to create the USP (Universal Self-loading...
In previous videos, I’ve talked a lot about BIMI sender logos, often in the abstract. Many people do seem to understand what a BIMI logo is, by now. All well and good, but I did recently have somebody ask me, okay, well, I think I kind of get it, but how do you actually DO it. How do you implement a BIMI logo? Where...
I deleted two notebooks of audio research during this project, but not at once. Notebook 1 failed after four days on April 30. I wrote down what had gone wrong and started over that day. Notebook 2 failed for a different reason on May 6, less than a week later. Between them, the notebooks represented a little more...
Marco Arment has released a new app focused on reminding people like me. I have ADHD. Probably. My entire adolescence was defined by forgetting to do my homework, disappointing everyone around me, and being told by every adult that I was lazy, “just” needed to try harder, and wasn’t living up to my potential. I’ll...
If grief is the price of loving, then I’ll grieve you like 2008 summer nights —bumpy card ridespeeing in bottlescool salty air and damp grassbarbecue and coconut waterprismatic lights strewn across the skymusic from home-burned CDsworn out stereosI’ll embrace longing for what has come to passLet the ghosts knock on...
Two years ago, for a short period in the summer, we had two juvenile Cooper’s hawks call a couple of trees in our backyard home. Juvenile hawks are still learning to be adults. So they usually make a lot of noise as part of this process. This included chasing squirrels, walking around the yard, and constantly...
