Today is the 36th anniversary of the pale blue dot picture. Yesterday we did a journal club about a classic Sagan paper and my grad student BP ended by sharing this video. I’d heard the more polished pale blue dot speech so many times but I find this one to be more human youtu.be/tgQ1PtkZvGU?...

New site's up & I'm pretty happy with it! I built my first personal site back in 2017 with React just to show potential employers I could. This time around I get to say it's plain HTML/CSS & JS because that's all it needs!

I think one reason I was perceived as a valuable team member in my first two roles as a web dev was that I always volunteered to take on IE-only bugs. How do newer devs get by with pretty good browsers across the board these days? 💀

Question for #100Devs, would it be helpful if I made myself available to you for coffee chats? I used to do so on the birdsite, but that was during an active cohort, so jus’ wanna get a feel for how useful it could be.

Yet another exceptional movie from 2024. Stellar performances throughout, tells an urgent story that I think the vast majority of people have never remotely heard of. Riveting and wrenching.

Grateful for all the retrospectives for David Lynch! Don’t think I’d ever seen this one in a theater before. Asides from Marilyn Manson’s cameo aging horribly, one of my favorites by Lynch.

I went to a Blazers game last night. Two years ago, I went to a Warriors game. Even if you know nothing about basketball, it’s a lot more fun to watch a good team. That’s not the Portland Blazers.

The Brutalist is retroactively one of my favorite movies from 2024. Just saw a 70mm projection last night & I highly recommend doing so if you have a chance. Top 5 from last year in chronological order: Robot Dreams Didi Eno All We Imagine as Light The Brutalist

I saw a hole today and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
An enormous vertical torus lithic formation outside of Monticello, UT. It’s striated brown, beige and orange in color, the blue sky with some clouds is visible beyond it, and on the far side are three seemingly diminutive humans.Hector is standing in front of a giant lithic torus, although only the upper part of it is seen, so it looks like a semi circle. He’s wearing black framed glasses, a red bandana around his neck and a salmon colored hoodie.

Happy 2025! Under no illusion that it’s gunna go perfectly, but hopeful good things will come. Here’s something my 9-year-old niece wrote about a year ago that I think holds true and I’ll try to keep in mind throughout.
A framed letter, that says “dear reader: my big adventures and surprises always start with little finds and tiny steps and even wishes to be what I want to be. And maybe yours will too… -your princess, Ava Venturini”

There is a tiny postscript that says “sending you lots of love since I was born”

Just saw this last night & it’s fantastic! One of the year’s standouts!
The promotional poster for “All We Imagine As Light”. It’s an interior shot; the soft-focus background is gray-blue, and in the foregrounded lower third of the image we see Prabha and Anu, two South Asian women who are the main characters. They are quizzically looking into a red rice cooker which Anu is holding in her hands.
