Wood Badge weekend! So pumped, and can't wait for what the weekend holds.

If the trend holds in TN-5 I will be doing the happiest of dances. After being redistricted (again) I'm no longer part of it, though I'll be rooting for folks to excise their current Rep. The people of TN-5, and the State of Tennessee deserve so much better.

The past little while I've been tinkering with an idea to build an ultralight 10" Newtonian that I could pack down into a 70L backpacking pack. Upcycling the mirrors from a donor scope, printing most of the rest. It's been ~30 iterations and finally wrote it up. #Astrophography #3dPrinting

Seeing the state of the games industry right now is soul crushing. As a lifelong Tech person (we have more than our share of issuesk) watching the cannibalization, the decades of experience, and utter ineptitude of games leadership is simply beyond comprehension to me. All my empathy to those in it

Taking my youngest to see The Amazing Digital Circus screening tonight. Never seen a single episode, no idea what I'm in for, though lots of cosplayers so guessing devoted fans. Happy I could make Charlie's week to go and see it.

9 years in our new home means I say it differently, though the sentiment remains the same. Now more than ever be vocal for those who simply want to exist. I see you. I support you. And, most importantly of all... Love all y'all. Live your best lives friends.

Does anyone else think it’s crazy that there's this world of lore, that millions of people fell in love with, and characters in it like Osiris, Saint-14, Eris, the Drifter, Savathun, Xivu Arath… …and somehow that world was mishandled by executives in a way that made the game shut down?

With the Destiny news this week today seemed only fitting to go deep in the closet for where my journey really began. After running solo for a while I, along with my then 4yo son, finally found my first group in Dad's of Destiny: West Coast To all my friends I've made since, here's to the memories.

I've never been to Space. It's been a lifelong hope one day to do so, though not yet. After reading "The Overview Effect" by Frank White in 1987 it profoundly altered my worldview. Here's hoping maybe someday society at large will adopt a new way to look at the world...
