This might be my favourite slide on quantum computing, ever. From Peter Gutmann at #AUSCERT

It took every fiber of my soul not to file this @firefox.com translation bug as "Clutching clutching clutching clutching". The image is a cropped section, in the real page it adds clutching or similar words 100s of times to the page.

Train is home! @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov

Broke out of my small circle critiquing MaraLago food in the style of @katewagner.wehwalt.net bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Whenever I hear someone utter the phrase "tax burden", my thoughts immediately drift to the notion that they hate fellow citizens and have a deep-seated desire for a society that is dysfunctional and devoid of social or public services.

Run, don’t walk, to grocery outlet

Got a whole Max train car to myself for a stop. Looks like everyone at the airport loaded into the second car.

Goodbye Max Type 1 trains! Thank you @trimet.org for the event.

Time for a fun day of bikes.

Otherwise known as the first few classes of calc 1 doing limits and Riemann sums. Then the next class here is how to do derivatives and solve the last homework in seconds.

As another Challenger kid, yes. School wheeled in the AV TVs for the launch and then we were left befuddled as to what had just happened.

Last year, researchers documented the first adult Chinook salmon in a tributary of the Upper Klamath since dam removal. This spring, they've discovered newly hatched salmon, lifting hopes of a cultural renewal for Klamath Tribes members.

I'll be glad to see these Airos running up in the PNW. SOON™

Nice ride up to the @bikeportland.org happy hour

Stinks of asked AI, replies to an Insta post, or crowdsourced from Reddit "infographic".

Well that was quick, @adriansdigitalbasement.com picked up the TV I saw a few weeks ago and made a video about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmO1...

I have been featured on the @nytimes.com sports front page above the fold. Though not for my sporting ability.

Took my SO to a RI Dunks for an extra extra. Very much a wtf is this reaction.

The Northern Pacific Railway Museum in Toppenish, Wash., has been working on NP 1364 for over a decade, and last weekend it ran under its own power for the first time in 73 years. railfan.com/northern-pac...

Just being honest. I wish it wasn't true. But this is the baseline for me. If a bike rack isn't an improvement on locking my bike to a street sign, I will lock my bike to a street sign 99 out of 100 times. Have a great day everyone!

Interesting report from Massachusetts that goes beyond the e-bike/ e-moto issue to more broadly address micromobility One recommendation: speed tiers for all micromobility devices. Tier 0: <=20 MPH, Tier 1: 21-30 MPH, Tier 2: 31-40 MPH and Tier 3: 41+ MPH www.mass.gov/news/massdot...

Good morning from Finnish Lapland 🇫🇮 at Santa Claus Village, the northernmost stop on the FlixBus European network 🚌 Over the next 100+ hours, I’ll be travelling exclusively with FlixBus all the way to Lisbon 🇵🇹 which is the longest journey you can book as a single ticket with them!

Spring is starting in Portland. Some flower pictures from the last week.

the train is coming at xml error o'clock

Aerial trams can genuinely be the right technology for the job sometimes! That's definitely the case here in Portland, Oregon. youtu.be/LhOfiiWyzBM

Up the punx, we won! $760,007 in total. Press release later. We drink cider now.

This is sad bike lock on PSU.

The Smithsonian Archives has a massive collection of Pullman Palace Cars Company builder's photographs, including some very early (1889–1890) Portland streetcars. A sample below; read the alt text for details. sova.si.edu/record/nmah....

Nice piece about the forgotten queer artist Marlow Moss, whose work and influence on Piet Mondrian’s work is being reevaluated. “It is now widely recognised in the art world that it was as much Moss who influenced Mondrian as the other way round…” [theguardian.com]

I've written up a quick story about the news and what it means for shoppers. Working on getting an interview with MoC's CEO next week for more on what this means. stumptownsavings.com/p/market-of-... #PortlandGrocers #ShopLocal

I felt the need to process a lot of righteous anger w/r/t transit cuts so I did today! Wish my camera worked!

Heads up, the lower deck of the Steel Bridge is currently closed while new cameras are installed. Please use an alternative route. We'll update it here when it has been reponed.

@trimet.org is real time bus info disrupted? I'm only seeing "Scheduled at" predictions. Max info is present. Trimet website using several mobile web browsers.

Some cooking projects from the holidays. Ramen party with friends. Spanish Tortilla and Seafood Paella on Friendsmas. Manicotti on Friendsmas eve.

If you've curious how the effect was accomplished, you no longer have to wonder... youtu.be/JHqiiPGPHFY (Any help signal boosting this to #StarTrek fans would be most appreciated... this video was a lot of work!)

The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For any Titanic nerds out there, my colleagues in the UCL Marine safety group have just published an astonishingly detailed analysis and supercomputer simulation of how Titanic sank, linked to witness statements & the best available evidence. Full paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Axing line 19 that serves the main campus of a Portland hospital is certainly a choice. Changes from a stop just outside the front of the hospital to a half mile to mile walk depending on choosing a bus or Max.

Earlier this year, "Oregon Field Guide" joined more than 20 young Indigenous kayakers on a journey down a stretch of the Klamath River no longer hindered by four dams. But that exploration of community, science and meaning was just the tip of the paddle. Join us as we take a look back at 2025.

First lunch seating @ Kashiwagi. Line is going around the block. I will miss this place.

Nome, AK. Had no plans on riding while up helping some family. Friends of theirs loaned me a 2022 Trek Checkpoint ALR 5. He recommended a 20mi/30km loop up a close by hill. Headwind for 2/3 of the ride, bike that was a size too big, in street clothes. Still by far the best ride of 2025.
