My favorite Facebook posts are the ones where it's like a picture of a grilled cheese and asks if you would eat three grilled cheeses for a million dollars, and then it has ten thousand comments that all say "I would eat the grilled cheeses :)"

I recently did a massive redesign of a 3d printed magnetic stirrer I designed a few years back. Here's a brief writeup showing what changed (and why) and the evolution of the design process. https://www.cartesiancreations.com.au/design-revising-the-magnetic-stirrer/

Apropos of nothing, here are a few recent screenshots from #GenshinImpact that I took while playing.

I noticed my daughter’s screenshots tended not to have the controls overlaid, so I poked around and realized I could have my character carry a “kamera” and take unadulterated shots.

Happy National Mathematics Day!

Today we celebrate the beauty and power of numbers and the endless possibilities they bring. Whether you're a math enthusiast or just appreciate its practical applications, take a moment to appreciate the role math plays in our lives.

#NationalMathematicsDay

it's cold in Minnesota

I am celebrating the solstice, the shortest day of the year, winter arrival, at -40ºC/-40ºF in my stunning winter wonderland and creating warmth in this powerfully cold temperature. My friend Maria Cherwick added a Unkraian fiddle tune alongside my drum. I'm sending warmth and joy to the world. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XWiT5NA_3Z8

Sometimes I think, “what kind of cheese would be good in a cottage?” and immediately I know the answer.

Last summer, Dr. Adrian Smith joined me in the field to capture video of the excavation of an undescribed species of burrowing crayfish. Three hours of digging (we were in the middle of a dry spell), untold numbers of mosquito bites, and a wee bit of caked on mud later I got one. And Adrian’s footage of it was magical; check out the video on his AntLab YouTube channel here:

This is the crayfish I dug that day. It’s a gorgeous form of Cambarus reduncus, the Sickle Crayfish. Using an integrated approach, we have discovered a lot of “hidden” diversity in North Carolina and South Carolina in this group of crayfishes (Depressicambarus), which includes both secondary and primary burrowing species. Finding the animals can be the most challenging aspect of this work! 📸 Michael A. Perkins, NCWRC. #crustmas #crayfish #crustacea

We have two pound-save brother cats. They've been living here about 10 years. Recently, a friend had to give up her pound-save cat, a calico female. Now the boys are each about 2 times the size of the female. But she's got them skeered . Last night I described this to a friend, and he said "So she stomped in with a cigarette hanging out of the corner of her mouth" Yep. 😂
