iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

These outages have been becoming more frequent. A long term fix is needed, and I assume in progress, as Alan states here. But there needs to also be a focus on near-term redundancy until the permafix is implemented. We are heading into what is likely to be a very busy winter. This is urgent.

Saw Alex Bregman in the wild today in Connecticut. Condolences @slwein.bsky.social.

For most people absolutely. There are some holes that still need to get filled in here or there, especially south and east.

Curious. Looks like either just a funky cloud that’s darker because of how thick it is or the sun angle. Or it could be some other very micro scale phenomenon I guess. Either way, it’s kinda cute!

Wild little triangular cloud deck on satellite off Jersey and Delmarva. This is from earlier but it’s still going.

Tropical Storm Fay's 39 advisories and ~4 ACE units has to be a record for futility, right?

Here’s the link to the work: arxiv.org/pdf/2609.23969 I just don’t see how this a.) would stand up to peer review or b.) even matter.

There’s a lot to unpack here, not the least of which is that the benchmarks being measured against here aren’t that important? Oh good, “the market” beats the NBM on a high temperature forecast at day ahead, evening before, and morning of. Like…?

I will also be requesting my last name pronounced as ay-CHAN going forward.

As always, I had some thoughts on how this storm was messaged, which I share here. But more importantly, folks in interior Texas (away from Houston) need to watch this forecast for rain very, very closely this week.

Your taxpayer dollars are being illegally spent to air a literal Trump 2024 campaign ad.

On to the next book, the classic Enron write up. I figure with some AI company inevitably going the way of this, it should be a timely read.

When I order a “pizza steak,” this is what I expect to receive.

Depending on where you live, this storm has been an overhyped bust or pretty nasty. Classic case of "your mileage may vary."

Some of the stronger peak wind gusts so far from the nor'easter include 63 mph in Sea Bright, NJ and 60 mph in Stony Brook, LI.

Sad state of affairs when the concept of a judiciary that has a spine is considered laudable and not just “doing their job.”

Latest and greatest on the nor’easter and more.

The weather in NYC isn’t going to be extreme. It’s just going to be gross.

It's noticeably less humid across much of the Houston area this morning, and it will stay that way today and tomorrow. But what about the chances of a front next week? Matt diagnoses the potential and what it could mean in today's post!

Less humid in Houston today but still some heat to get through before a chance at a front next week

In brief: A humidity front pushed through overnight, which will allow today to be significantly less humid and a couple degrees cooler. Humidity does return heading toward next week. While we are c…
