Amazing recognition for an RIT graduate!

Dave Tyler @dtyler321.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

One unexpected surprise at work the last couple of weeks has been the appearance of a pair of bald eagles near campus. They've been spotted by colleagues at least twice now in the last 12 days. I haven't seen them yet, but they seem to be hanging out near the RIT Observatory on John St.

I'm not above meme-jacking, especially when we've got a Henry Moore on campus. Awesome work by our student Bella here. www.youtube.com/shorts/TXPjh...

It will be very interesting to see if this experiment works. It sure has some serious reporting power at its disposal.

You might have to go back to the Colorado Five Downs game in 1990 to find something comparable to the screwing that Western Michigan received from the officials in Ann Arbor tonight.

Five years ago we did a "Rochester GIF tour" on social media with some drone footage our team had shot over time. Checking in on the analytics at GIPHY this morning to find this one popping because we tagged it with "Lake Ontario." giphy.com/gifs/rit-tig...

The five Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most: 1) Lisa: "Shut Up, Brain! I've Got Friends Now. I Don't Need You Anymore" 2) Brockman: I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords 3) Willie: Shhh! You Want To Get Sued? 4) Grandpa: I used to be with ‘it’....It’ll happen to you! 5) "Where's the Any Key?"

Oldest child is is in the middle of his European adventure and I think he's enjoying the public transportation infrastructure as much if not more than the museums, history and culture.

Jack's is our neighborhood bar and it's awesome. They're great neighbors. Happy to see them get this kind of recongition, but juggling feelings of wanting them to be the neighborhood's secret! Another reason to love living in the city. #ROC www.democratandchronicle.com/story/lifest...

Looking at some things I had posted at the Other Place, this round of smoke makes (most likely) 16 out of the last 17 years that #ROC has experienced wildfire smoke. Which is, you know, not a good trend.

Went to @wegmansofficial.bsky.social new The Grill at the Pittsford store tonight. They clearly have a lot of kinks to work out. The space was maybe half full and it took 45 minutes after our purported delivery time to get our food, which was lukewarm and in one part of our order, wrong. /1

After 9 days in Dublin and London recently, I'm left wishing very hard we had better public transit in the US. A Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse-Albany-NYC high speed rail project seems like a good place to start.

I've already been a little emotional on this father/son trip. I was not expecting to be rocked to my core as we sat down on the tube to head back to the hotel on day one in London. #london #underground #poems

Text of the poem "A Bunch of Consolation" by Maura Dooley

You think they'll always be there
(The ones who've always been there)
They showed you the way
Not their own
But how to find your own
(And what to say)
Sweeping the paths of leaves and snow
But then they leave. They go
Before your were ready
(How could you ever be ready?)
To wonder.wondering
What have you learned exactly?
to love to speak up to hold steady
Hold steady
