The stage at my kid's band concert looks like a hungry monster.

Hello! I’m a professor of planetary science based at Harvard, interested in rocky planet evolution, #climate, habitability, and related topics.

Finally decided to get a social media account and Mastodon seemed like a logical choice right now. Looking forward to figuring out what this site (or sites??) is all about…

Given that Half-Life has now been around for 25 years, I mentioned to my kid he should try it out. He took the Black Mesa route instead of the original, which is fine. But, I watched him for a bit helping him find a crowbar, and now I am nauseous and need to sit down.

Can't do FPSs like I used to. Oof.

Been a while, but recently got a chance to fly some rockets with the club. Put up 11 flights. Silo flew again, on a D12-5 and it was perfect.

And, did the Astrocam two staged this time, C6-0 to C6-7.

This is a fun Q&A with the creator of "Pepper X," which is the new hottest pepper ever—by a lot. He tasted it raw once & was miserable for six hours scientificamerican.com/article

That didn't feel too good, but I'm ok. Only took out a dead tree by the roots at >20mph...

Upgraded the video card in the kid's PC from an old GTX 750Ti to a RTX 2060 Super. He seems rather pleased.

It's nearly "fill the freezer with venison season." Making sure all is well with the ol' Browning BAR.

Have peaches in the freezer, from our trees, that need to be used (and we didn't get any this year, yes, insert sad face here).

So, I made a cobbler while listening to quarterly planning readouts for several areas of our org.
