iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I say this but it's not tenable for me because 1. i already hate the daylight swing between seasons 2. i don't think summer is long enough in buffalo 3. it is far away from family and it already bothers me that texas is annoying to get to

The fiscal year is over. The dying Social, Behavioral, and Economic division of NSF ended up awarding 90 total grants this year, as opposed to ~700-800 in recent past years. Source: grantwitness.org/nsf/analyses...

The graph shows the cumulative number of awards made by month across this fiscal year, as compared to the last 6 fiscal years. The line for this year is total flat until June, but then finally gets up to 91 by October. In prior years the increase starts building earlier and ends on average in the 700-800 range (with variability, last year was only between 400-500).

So the broader point is this: No matter how you slice it, this El Niño event is a very big deal. It is already either the strongest by far (ONI) or tied for strongest (RONI) on record. It will likely become strongest on record, by any measure, by Nov.

Plot by Daniel Swain showing temporal evolution of ONI vs RONI index during 2026, representing two different ways to visualize El Nino intensity. The ONI has been at record levels since May, and the RONI has been at near-record levels since June. Data directly from NOAA.
