Desert Bus for Hope 🚌 #DB2026 OCTOBER 23rd @desertbus.org · 08/10/2026
Cracked a pack and got this, what do?
Did you know it's our 20th marathon? That's not a golden anniversary, but we couldn't change the colour of this card. Seems like like a little bit of an oversight, don't you think? And yes, we know this the twentieth annual marathon, but "only" the 19th year. Anyways, please join us at desertbus.org or twitch.tv/desertbus on October 23rd at 4PM, Pacific. We going to be raising a ton of money for Child's Play Charity. They're a really cool organization that helps children manage the stress and anxiety of being in a hospital through video games. Not specifically the game we'll be playing, which is pretty boring, but like, you know, good ones. They got probably a Zelda or Mario in there, I'd wager. Speaking of, this year's run is earlier this year mostly we could all play the Ocarina of Time Remake afterwards. Wow, for not letting us pick a colour, they certainly did let us cram a lot of text in this space. I wonder how small the font is at this point, and what the maximum length is. Don't worry, all this rambling is going in the alt text of this image. Hrm, kinda ran out of steam there at the end. I should go. See you in a couple weeks.

IT IS COMPLETE! Six years of stitching, and it's ready for @desertbus.org. I can't wait to see who wins this, and I hope we can raise a (house)boatload of cash! It's 20 years of Desert Bus, and I can't believe it! I started watching in 2010 and raised over $20K with my work. Absolutely insane.

all program closures are short-sighted in this way. you never know what types of knowledge will be needed in the future. careerism focuses on current job markets, while ceding our potential to meet future needs — careerist, sure, but we’ll also need civic-minded folks to rebuild society.

Just did some number crunching using latest (Oct 1) ECMWF seasonal data, and I must say that I've never seen such high predictive confidence in a very wet California winter. This is a truly extraordinary forecast amid a record-strength El Niño event. [Thread: please read to end.]

Beige marks land and gray marks missing ocean values. The main colour scale spans -2 to +10°F, with white at zero. Hot pink marks anomalies above +10°F.

LULLABY⭐🪐🎵 #OC
A drawing of Wensley(he/it) and Ed(she/he) in nighttime.  Wensley has already fell asleep while Ed is gently placing her hand on his head. The blanket Wensley has is shown to have a granny pattern.

The drawing has a lullaby theme, with several starry hangable decorating the top of the drawing. Some multicolored planet can be seen in the background. Several musical notes are wiggling throughout the drawing.

The two rules of software development: - Up-front thinking is Waterfall; we can only learn by shipping - There's no room on the roadmap for rework, so everything needs to be done right the first time Bosses love AI because they think it can give them up-front certainty on the cheap. But it can't.

Language Matters: The words we use influence how people think. Shifting language shifts mindsets. "Vulnerability" sounds like weather: unpredictable, nobody's fault. "Product defect" names something a manufacturer built and could have prevented. Keep it only where it's a term of art, like CVE.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
