A FLAS fellowship is what brought me to Indiana University and set me up for my two masters' degrees (and much later PhD), informed my career interests, made me a published translator of Polish, participant in research exchange with amazing faculty at University of Warsaw, 2-decade+ friendships...

Not my photo, but the UTEP sculpture "Mining Minds" by Michael Clapper goes really hard

Just registered for Durham HPC Days for the 1st week of June, stopping in before ISC'25 -- looking forward to it! www.durham.ac.uk/research/ins...

I'm not the biggest metal fan but today is really hitting me with Oxygen Destroyer vibes. oxygen-destroyer.bandcamp.com/album/guardi...

At work, lining up all the stuff I need to do, thinking of when I will return home to continue @sgj.bsky.social's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and have my wig completely and utterly flipped by it.

One job of the scientist in our times is to speak the truth with a collective voice based on evidence. That's why I'm proud to join over 140 leading researchers to affirm the scientific consensus that bias in AI is a real problem that needs to be prioritized. www.aibiasconsensus.org

The first mission in the Roadcraft demo is with a timber harvester and a logging crane, maybe oversuccessful in sealing the deal. I probably would have been in if you had given me a simple bulldozer or bucketloader.

Under my tree was this lovely calendar by Natalia Naszczyńska and Sebastian Łuczywo, the artwork and text make me happy.

The terror of every Christmas table has arrived, it is...

Secret Level - OK, I came for the WH40k short, but I stayed in for the Armored Core short written by Peter Watts!!!

Don't go in, it's a trap...

I had the most fortuitous meeting at SC24, unexpected but welcome

Why yes, in these troubled times I think I might indeed have a glass of Buffalo Trace, thank you very much for the offer.

Awwww yeah, #bookmail...

I'd like to believe "Never Let Go" is a "new horror classic" but certain stuff that popped up on my feed got me with "Longlegs is the scariest movie of 2024" and I'm not buying it. Longlegs was a solid thriller that had a lot going for it, but it wasn't scary.

Music with disclaimers always makes for a good time.

The woman ringing up my copy of Elric at the End of Time was giving this @michaelwhelan.bsky.social cover REAL SCRUTINY but it's fully awesome

Lo, have I searched these many years, and Lavazza Dek appears to be decaf espresso that doesn't taste like it's been made out of dry twigs.

This is it. This is where I get my office in the seedy part of town, with a bottle of rotgut in the desk drawer and a well-used davenport to lay low on. And that workstation-sized D-Wave machine.

Awww, yisss. Bookmail!

The Rush - great series by @sispurrier.bsky.social and Nathan Gooden. Loved it.

New year, new office calendar, can't resist a good Bosch
