jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Off to Milwaukee, WI for 4 days of AVCA "First Serve" women's college volleyball. 8 of the pre-season top 10 teams are facing off; it should be exciting. 010
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Looks like I'll be volunteering about 60 hours of election official stuff in Wisconsin for our August primary. That's training, In-person Absentee, and election day combined. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Amping up my volunteer work as an election official (poll worker) in WI to the next level: in-person absentee voting. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Back from a very musical weekend at FilKONtario in Markham (Toronto area). It was glorious. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Today is the last day of the 2026 WI film festival in Madison (all at Flix brewhaus). I finished the last of my 13 films yesterday; it was enough :-) 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Wisconsin is holding it's spring election Tuesday for judges, school boards, and municipal officials. Please vote, if you are eligible! You can register at the polls; all you need is proof of address and a photo ID. If you aren't sure, just show up and ask - poll workers are there to help you. 010

jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 08/03/2026On my way back from B-fest movies in Evanston, as we skirted Milwaukee, we were driving on West I-894, North I-41, and South I-43 at the same shared time and pavement. Almost as silly as some of the films. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Have picked 13 movies for the WI film festival, at their "first of the fest" preview night. This is needed, as when the general ticket sales start on Saturday, I'll be in Evanston watching other, inferior movies at B-fest. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Having a very cultural week, with an organ concert, a standup comic, and a ballet troup from Tuesday to Thursday. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 02/02/2026Ilona Andrews fans have probably already bought & downloaded "Beast Business", which is a nice (Montgomery/Harrison) addition to their Hidden Legacy universe. But admit it, we're all really in love with the new Arabella Baylor short, "Arabella Saves the Day". Read them in that order. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Ok, Friday 1/23 in Wisconsin is looking *COLD*, like -40F wind chill. The UW-Madison is cancelling classes, which almost never happens. I doubt any K-12 schools in the entire state will be open. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Excited to see which college volleyball team wins the NCAA division 1 women's championship. The usual suspects (Penn State, Stanford, Texas, Nebraska) have all been eliminated. I'm rooting for the WI Badgers, suspect it will be Kentucky, but would be thrilled if Pitt or TAMU break through. 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Getting ready for the Seattle 2025 world SF convention. I'm now officially on staff, even. Nothing but good times ahead!™ 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 06/04/2025PBS American Masters is about to premier "Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse" about the cartoonist, most famous for "Maus". Best anecdote from producer Alicia Sams at the Wisconsin Film Festival screening: when proposed as the father of graphic novels, Art demands a paternity test. Recommended! 000
jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 20/02/2025Wisconsin peeps: if eligible, please make a plan to vote in the Spring election on Tuesday April 1 (no fooling!). At a minimum, you have choices for supreme court justice and state school superintendant. This includes college students! 000

jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 27/01/2025In Minneapolis phantomchorus.com is performing a mixed live action / puppetry stage adaptation of "Dealing with Dragons". They have a streaming option for $8 on either Friday 1/31 (7pm CST) or Sunday 2/1 (2pm CST). We organized a watch party for today, and had a lovely time.

jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 18/01/2025It's been an exciting week for US rocket companies: blue origin made orbit on their first New Glen launch, and later that same day SpaceX caught a starship booster. Still some R&D to do; team blue didn't land their booster, and spacex blew up their new orbiter. 011

The word of 2024 is "hraunkælingarstjóri" which means "Boss of Lava Cooling". We've had many eruptions and so have been spraying the running lava with water to slow it down and save infrastructure.ruv.isMikill heiður að vera sá eini sem ber titilinn - RÚV.isHraunkælingarstjóri er orð ársins.

jiml465.bsky.social @jiml465.bsky.social · 04/12/2024The 2022 Wisconsin low budget indie flick "Hundreds of Beavers" will be back in Madison at the Barrymore for one night only, Thursday 12/4. It's hysterically funny - I've never heard a movie audience laugh so much, and I highly recommend it to fans of silent movies, video games, and slapstick. 020
