Who’s driving the streets of San Francisco without a license ? Thx @brewster.kahle.org and the Wayback.

Super Bowl Sunday. Every mascot exists because in 1974, a guy in a chicken suit figured out what to do during timeouts. Ted Giannoulas made the downtime part of the show. 50 years later: every mascot does what he invented. New Invent: The Chicken Suit podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Some words had to be invented. On weeks like this you realize - balderdash - is one of them. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/b...

Go forth to make the world a better place for you can make a difference. The task is daunting – of course, but it is a necessary struggle. Desmond Tutu

Great read to get your health on the right track in 2026. #health

In San Francisco, we take pride in ushering in the new. But on New Year’s Eve, we trail the whole world. Happy 2026 to all who are leading the way around the globe! 🎉🌉 #2026

Always talk to the engineers.

Watching Japanese legal drama. Judge's office buried in boxes. "Hometown tax." I look it up. Japan lets you redirect taxes for gifts. $6.3B moving. Made it fun instead of forced. New Invent episode on how weird wins. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

There’s a chance of tornadoes in parts of California tonight through Christmas Day. Here’s a map of where tornadoes have hit the state in the past. #CAwx

Tomorrow we gain 3 seconds of day light in San Francisco. Headed to spring. 🌿

Now imagine an earthquake and emergency responders.

In the unusual, people figure things out. The world is usually unusual.

Be the good news this season. 🌲 Bravo @ricksteves.bsky.social and Lynnwood Community #seattle #christmas

A large power outage is impacting San Francisco - only call 9-1-1 for life safety emergencies, avoid non-essential travel, treat down traffic signals as four way stops, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed, and turn off major appliances to prevent surges.

Read a book Go to a museum Take a class Go for a walk Talk to folks Ideas are easy. Building is hard. Sheesh.🙄

Whale or cheetah? Before you build your “AI strategy,” answer that. You can’t use whale strategies for cheetahs. Calling everything“AI” and you can’t see which one you need—or what comes next. #tech #leadership New Invent episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Despair is the enemy of invention. I looked at the climate data. We bent the curve. But everyone’s in despair because we didn’t solve it completely. When you’re in despair, you can’t see what to invent next. #technology #leadership 🧪 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

September 4, 1882. Pearl Street Station opened. The lights worked. Edison gave electricity away for free for 16 months. Why? New episode of Invent. #technology #leadership podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Invent. Thanksgiving style 🍁 Sweet potatoes & marshmallows wed in 1917. Angelus Marshmallow Co wanted to promote marshmallows as an ingredient. Enter Janet McKenzie Hill, a well-known food writer + recipe developer. Voila! Thank Janet as you lift that folk of ultra sweetness. #thanksgiving #food

Be curious. Asking “how” something might work? As always. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A smack of jellies, squadron of pelicans, raft of otters, or galaxy of sea stars... No matter your favorite collective noun, these groups of animals are a force to be reckoned with when they come together—a simple reminder of the beauty that blooms in community and the strength that grows in unity.

Edison tested 6,000 materials for his lightbulb filament. Platinum worked better than bamboo. He used bamboo anyway. Why? The best material and the scalable material are different things. New Invent episode on what Edison actually invented: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Yay otters. And @montereybayaquarium.org

Small encounters can linger with you a lifetime. Mine with Jane Goodall was one of those. She imprinted two things: be curious and be kind. #rip #janegoodall

Putting on my "general geohazards communicator" hat here for a moment: In all but the *very* most extreme earthquake-generated tsunami events, locations more than ~100ft above sea level are generally safe. In vast majority of such events, "vertical evacuation" is the way to go!
