I am giving away a print as a thank you to everyone who has been following along & supporting me on my journey transitioning from a research scientist to full-time space artist. I’ll draw a lucky winner from my email list at random on November 13th. You’ll get a print of Spectrum of Chaos!

Sharing this again. It's from four years ago, and censorship continues to rear its ugly head. Thank you, Meg, for stating this so well.

The Full Moon is beautiful tonight, seen here over the Space Coast of Florida at 8:46pm (ET) as the International Space Station and its crew of 7 passed overhead. Traveling @ ~17,500mph, it took less than 3/4 sec for the ISS to transit the face of the Moon. #moon #photography

If we’d speak more ill of the dead, maybe it would remind the living not to be assholes.

I presume he hasn't read about the feeding the poor part. Or really anything else. Also... brutal and true.

Raising money for the Utah Food Bank because — waves hands frenetically — the current situation. Here’s a link: www.justgiving.com/page/slsees-... And if you donate $50 or more, DM me and I’ll send you one of my SLC coffee cups! Wow — what a deal! Let’s feed some hungry Utahns!

Talking to trans women in tech can help anyone who doubts that women experience the world differently; they can provide you with A/B before/after results. Treat all women in tech better and believe them about their experiences:

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

For those of us who can, please, please donate *whatever* you can—food, time, money, etc.—to your local food banks. Let's stand in the gap for our communities to make this upcoming winter a little less dark and little less cold. ✨️

Consider setting up a recurring donation, too. Whatever you can afford, it helps food banks to have a reliable steady donation stream.

Pretty well guaranteed that all food banks could use more this year, not to mention things like sub4santa. If you can help these kinds of trusted orgs in your community, do it. And do it directly instead of like at the grocery store if you can so it is direct to the org.

Love to see this

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Never would he have anticipated computers that will give the wrong answers for the right figures and are celebrated by the “best minds”

Which cover do you prefer? Now that I have author copies of both US and UK editions of TIGERS BETWEEN EMPIRES, I am giving away 1 of each, signed, to 2 random people who like/reskeet this. US addresses only. Will announce winners on Friday, Oct 24, 2025, before official release (Nov 4). 🐅🌍 #booksky

Read this, thought it very applicable, and then realized it was from over a year ago. I wonder if the one 'dissenting' comment in here still thinks its a naive hot take.

If you like astronomy posts, then you'll probably really like the astronomy feeds! If you didn't know, Bluesky gives you direct control over your social algorithm. Instead of doomscrolling, look at space instead:

My free e-book 📘 “Creating Modern Angular Applications with Nx and NgRx” is finally done! Huge thx to Marko Stanimirović for his feedback & motivation throughout the process. It’s a practical guide on architecture, NgRx Signal Store, and Nx. You can check it here offering.solutions/ebook-creati...

New in my blog: just how coincidental can things possibly get? VERY, yet I’m convinced it’s still just coincidence, even though it’s hard to believe.

The most beautiful clouds I've ever seen☁️💫 These are extremely rare cirrus clouds. 🌤️ What you’re seeing are cirrus clouds — thin, wispy formations that drift high above the Earth, usually 20,000 to 40,000 feet (6–12 km) up, where the air is freezing.

Just weeks after a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake, the Philippines was struck again by a 7.6 magnitude quake. Red Cross teams have been working tirelessly to evacuate hospital patients, distribute food, and deliver blood products to the hardest-hit areas.

Jess Wade is amazing, and it's my absolute honour to be one of the more than 2000 women in STEM whose wikipedia page she started: mymodernmet.com/jessica-wade... 🧪🔭👩‍🔬

I decided to refactor

I'm at @viteconf.org and there's been a lot of chats about Rust, however we know only a small part of us web devs know Rust. Would anyone be interested in a workshop of mine that teaches Rust to web developers (TypeScript and/or tooling)?

I will never not be happy driving around southern Utah where I grew up up. Today I got to witness this beautiful rainbow over the beautiful sandstone and lava flows.
