This is not THAT map ... but the crashes all over Twin Cities as of 9 PM, due to the snow on top of very slippery ice this afternoon and evening from the quick drop in temperatures. It took me 1 hour 15 minutes for a commute that normally takes 25 minutes max.

You see .... a bowl of fresh fruit like this will cost you at least $20 at Erewhon!

We are learning how to use the H100 GPU like a boss! 😂

I took today off to be in training sessions with researchers from different universities. This is my real world, not corporate.

Year of the Horse has officially started!! 新年快乐!! 🎆 #LunarNewYear #ChineseNewYear

ABBA's Dancing Queen was released almost 50 years, and still raking in more than 1 Billion views on YT. It predated MTV by several years. It is truly remarkable and it's an example of cultural immortality without digital hype. Brilliant! youtu.be/xFrGuyw1V8s?...

Minnesooootans .... for the most part we are the kind of quiet and 'mind your own damn business' type of people. But you have also seen what we did in the last 6 weeks ....

The Spanish version of this song sounds much better than the English version, in my opinion. #ToniBraxton #UnbreakMyHeart youtu.be/jewX6Yj8Bdg?...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks!

Be quiet, please ... I am eating baby carrots with mayonnaise and enjoying the crunch crunch crunch sounds in my head! 😂

New dental hygienist, immediately took my BP, and said "Your BP is high". Me: "Of course it is high. I've never seen you before and I don't know if you will be nice to me or not." She laughed, I laughed. She never brought up the BP talk anymore. Follow the protocol! 😀

These photos from 2020 and more than five years later, the messages are still relevant. Kodak Pro Image 100 #believeinfilm #Minneapolis #Minnesota

Don't buy books from Amazon. Bezos is probably sharing your topic/interest data with the govt. Buy from local bookstores or university presses.

I don't like those hideous tablets on the dashboard. Heck ... if I could back to the dashboard like on my old Corolla, with a cassette or CD player, and just a few simple buttons, but the car would have all the modern safety features like Honda Sensing, that's all I need.

February!!! We are in the final month of the meteorological winter 2025/2026! Heh.

👀👀👀 The actual certificate from Universitatis Harvardiana!! 🙌🙌 Delivered this evening.

People have misconception about me. I have 2 master's degrees and a bunch of graduate certificates thinking that they are for my career. No ... I did all that for my own learning and satisfaction. I took Stem Cell class because I wanted to learn various stem cells & how they work in our body.

Watch until the end. youtube.com/shorts/hg97R...

Damn!! That is the entire Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis! Even the Pride parade was never that big!

It is 20 degrees warmer than last Friday in Minneapolis .... so ...... 😁 And even warmer next week!!

Again!! 🙌 #Minneapolis

Rest In Peace, Catherine O'Hara.

Get this one @simondiamond.bsky.social 🤣 leica-camera.com/en-US/photog...

The jingles on the Tokyo metro Tozai line from Nishi Kasai station continued with Kasai station is so nostalgic. They bring me back to the days of Casiopeia or Himiko Kikuchi. Otemachi and Monzen-nakachou also have some cool songs.

Last week, my office released the following consumer alert on how Minnesotans can protect their digital privacy from DHS agents. I urge all Minnesotans to take steps to protect themselves online from the federal government’s overreach and lawlessness.

When you fly International First or Business Class and you see "seasonal fruit", most likely you get: ¼ cantaloupe cube 1 pineapple trapezoid 1 tangerine wedge 3 grapes (if the catering is feeling generous). The difference is they are served on a plate versus a plastic cup in the back.

Wait a minute ..... are they going to deport Italians from Italy??? Or deport Americans from Italy??? 🤣

January 2026 will be noted in history as "The Battle of Minneapolis"

THIS is all the CEOs of MN-based companies can come up with???? So lame and they are just thinking of their own ass!

Alert from Carnegie Mellon University. #snowstorm

Tonight

I never like Pu-erh. Its smell reminds me of old tires or rubber sandals.

Video of Alex Pretti reading final honors for a veteran he cared for at the VA. Rest in Power 🇺🇸

Graduation photos are so expensive!! I used to order my marathon and half marathon photos many years ago. I didn't expect they would be so expensive these days. $49.95 one digital photo via email, but if you want instant download?? $59.95!!! Ordering a set of 3 is cheaper. Geez.

Again ... 5 years later .. I am witnessing another historic event unfold in my own town. #Minneapolis

Oh damn! The locals have set up their own barricades on the street now. They didn't hesitate to grab the gas canisters and threw them back. They learned from 2020!

Whoah!!!! Holy shit!!! That was an execution in broad daylight on a sidewalk in Minneapolis. 🤬🤬🤬

Next time somebody asks me where I am from ... my answer will be "Austronesia with a bit of Austroasiatic."

-9F is when we start to feel a bit chilly .....

Told ya. We know how to deal with with extreme cold.

Maybe it's now a good time to KonMari my career trajectory. 🤔

There is a 95 degrees difference between the tenp in my living room and outside. This is still not as cold as the temp during the 2019 polar vortex.

Good luck, Maine. It looks like you're next.

"Introduction to Organismic .." ... and I read it as "Introduction to Orgasmic" .... 🤣

There is still plenty of time to move the Olympics somewhere else like Sydney. I still have some memorabilia from that Olympics in 2000.

#Book sale!!!

Tears would come from each others eyes As they would stop to realize That our people are in great great danger now

Quick reminder: Again ... Minneapolis people were out and about when we had the 2019 Polar Vortex when the temp plunged to -28F with -52F windchill!! A lot of people walked and rode their bike to work.
