Ansel Adams on assignment for IBM - one of my favourite shots. Not the usual landscape but the skill of a woman weaving magnetic core memory. The beat up nails captures total “woman in STEM” vibes.

Barry loves these rattling balls. His teeth fit in between the slits and he carries them around.
Barry is passed out on a love seat with some of his favorite toys that he picks up in his mouth.

Barry is worried about squirrels and rabbits but still takes the time to make sure he's got the best pants on, the floofy pantaloons.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

That small dot moving left to right is 3I/ATLAS. It's a comet that was discovered on 1 July 2025. It's travelling at 58 km PER SECOND and isn't gravitationally bound to the Sun. Which means you're looking at a comet that formed around another star, passing through the Solar System.

The weight on his shoulders is more than just the heavy armor or the worn backpack. It’s the weight of a nation’s hope. Of families praying. Of children waiting. It’s the weight of freedom, dignity, and the future. And yet — he stands tall. Because he knows: Ukraine must live. 💙💛

A little over 2 years ago Barry joined our family. This is the first pic of him I am ok sharing. He was dirty, scared, and emaciated. I remember this moment, looking down to my right and he was passed out. He was beautify, safe, and well on his way to not being emaciated. #CatsOfBluesky

I'm locked in, killing bugs and fixing issues, but Barry has other ideas. He's very interested in my 3d printing detritus trash can, so I've tried to put it out of temptations reach till I can properly deal with it. He's a terror sometimes. #CatsOfBluesky
Barry cat tries to get to a trash can. I've put white boxes over my code for privacy.

"For only five dollars an hour you can make sure that starving kittens like Barry never have to go an hour without a meat gurt." (Sarah Mclachlan softly plays in his head). #CatsOfBluesky -No Barries were starved for this skeet, he's had breakfast, his gurt, half his sisters gurt...
Barry, even though he's full, wonders when his next meal will come.

Barry got impatient about his treats this morning (even though I gave him some before I made breakfast). The bag of treats is now in my hoodie pocket, and you know how sharks in cartoons circle the water around helpless characters? That's me right now, and help. He's got an mo. #CatsOfBluesky

While I was packing up my office to flee Texas this time last year, Barry thought he would be helpful- "No, no Dad, this is empty I'm just going to go throw it away for you, definitely not going to take it over to the floor and destroy the bag. I'd never do that." #CatsOfBluesky

One of the brown tabbies at our rescue is very shy. She was spending her days hiding away, mostly. She recently has become best friends with a big orange-and white tomcat who’s normally a bit of a bully. It is the sweetest - he’s been friendlier and calmer, and she is braver!
