'The lovers of “chess for the sake of chess,” aptly compared by their liquidator with the lovers of “art for art’s sake,” are not yet absolutely atomized elements in a mass society whose completely heterogeneous uniformity is one of the primary conditions for totalitarianism.' Hannah Arendt

Hudson River ice report: we're back after the first snow of the season yesterday - no ice! but the river mayyy look a little sluggish as the temps start to regularly drop below freezing.
Hudson River from the Hamilton Fish Bridge (I-84). Newburgh on the right with the train tracks and building dusted in snow. Hudson Highlands in the distance, resplendent with the first accumulation of snow for the season.

alas ICEBlock suffers from a classic interface / UX problem: the user isn't you. without solving the fundamentally social problem of trust and verification, the app promises safety and delivers the opposite: another channel of misinformation to stoke fear. micahflee.com/unfortunatel...

this is how much of North America is currently on fire... looks like the smoke i'm breathing in the Hudson Valley is from fires in northwestern Canada
Screenshot from NOAA HRR-Smoke map displaying fire detections as red points on a base map of continental North America. Clusters of red points appear in northern British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Clusters in the south line the Gulf of Mexico as well as the western coast of Mexico.

Hudson River ice report: mostly clear, all that remains are small drifting bits of ice. The banks appear to be nearly clear. Spring is on the way for sure.

Metasequoia is also a beautiful tree - my parents planted one at my childhood home - and it's interesting to think about how my family participated in a small way with the international collaboration that led to its conservation and dissemination across the world.
