Temporarily frozen in carbonite.
I witnessed Blue Origin's New Glenn-NG3 rocket launch this morning. We could see the pad from the beach. Awesomeness experienced.

My favorite photo of the day I took of the Artemis II SLS launch - the solid rocket boosters disengaging. Not bad for using an iPhone from way out at Cocoa Beach.

I'll be doing my best to get out for the SLS Artemis II launch on Wednesday (with an option for Thursday.) I've reserved a rental car but it's going to be tough with the traffic. It's also spring break and Easter week so things are quite busy here in Central Florida... my new home.

So, I had great fun watching The Wrecking Crew, by Amazon MGM Studios. They did well targeting it towards Gen X. It worked! Perhaps not a great film, but it's an awesome movie! And the setting is Hawaiʻi!

I must admit, one of the more amusing aspects of watching the Olympics Opening Ceremonies is seeing the countries names in Italian as they march in. Good fun.

Great. I'm in London, Ontario for another seven weeks (minus two for the Star Trek Cruise) and a tiny cozy Irish pub just opened fairly near me. Just my luck. The Off Licence Pub. It's within the Bag Lady Variety at Pall Mall and Maitland. Check it out.

The University of Chicago recently announced pauses on admissions to some of its humanities doctoral programs. Tyler Austin Harper argues that it's âa particular gut-punch to the humanities, not just at the university itself, but nationally and even globally.â

So on average, I consumed about 4 hours a day of science fiction content for the past four years with my PhD research. I just finished the brilliant 1967-68 British series, The Prisoner. I have thoughts....good ones. Patrick McGoohan was way before his time.
