Pretty cool to watch the Artemis II launch live on TV with Amanda and Charlie! From a TV at a car dealership no less.

The 2026 trout releases for the Trout in the Classroom program are underway! I volunteered on Monday and brought my camera along: cagrimmett.com/2026/03/31/t...

Tied some Synthetic Clousers tonight. Striped bass on the brain. #flytying

Another nighttime walk in the woods with rubber boots and a flashlight. Lots of green frogs out tonight.

Charlie and I went out in the woods tonight and caught some spring peepers. cagrimmett.com/2026/03/22/s...

"Color is as much a part of our lives as air, water, and taxes. And it is maddeningly, beguilingly slippery." In a new excerpt from her forthcoming book, @korystamper.bsky.social details how her work @Merriam-Webster.com launched her "love affair with color." longreads.com/2026/03/19/c...

Matt Sment at Tenkara Angler explores a new book expressing the tenkara philosophies of Masami Sakakibara, nicknamed “Tenkara no Oni” (the Tenkara Demon), on advanced tenkara technique. tenkaraangler.com/2026/03/11/d...

Currently running WordPress 7.0 beta 5. So far so good!

How do you organize your #flytying materials? Here is how I organize mine. cagrimmett.com/2026/03/17/h...

Questions from your kid that make you nervous: "Daddy, have you seen the creepy eyeball in the sky?" Queue trying to hold it together while you calmly ask follow up questions.

Why does my copy of Hedda Gabler contains so much stock text in Latin? (Looks at title page) Oh.. it's the version written by Lorem Ibsen

It was better when we didn't know Banksy's mortal identity.

Trying to force the rhubarb.

This post is reminiscent of the weekly internal posts Toni wrote during his most recent stint at Automattic as acting CEO while Matt was on sabbatical. Toni’s open communication is one of his many strengths.

the one and only @cagrimmett.com did some hard shoe leather reporting to track down all 12 issues of Outdoor Life from 1969 for two articles by Cecil E. Heacox on the “Charmed Circle of The Catskills.” Then, just because he's a mensch, he scanned them so we can all enjoy:

Hot coffee take: Jamaican Blue Mountain is overrated and over priced.

Crocuses are up!

Saw the first robin on Monday! More are out today.

It is lovely to hear the spring peepers again.

Update: The dry little black stone landed me a wild brown trout today. Lots of stoneflies were out. #flyfishing

I used @automattic.com's Telex to create a Pages Family Tree block for my Digital Garden. I wanted to be able to see my hierarchical post types in context, so it shows two levels of ancestors and two levels of children in relation to the current page I am on. I use it in the sidebar.

Skunk cabbages are emerging! (Plus a mini review of the Canon Extender EF 2x III.) cagrimmett.com/2026/03/06/s...

I haven't tied much this winter, but the prospect of some rain and warmer weather melting the snow and ice has me hopeful for getting out on the water. Tied some peacock body little black stoneflies with CDC wings, and some dark glass bead sakasa kebari. #flytying #flyfishing #tenkara

The Little Free Library I put up in 2024 is still doing great! The three of us walked over and each put in a couple books. Glad to see it was pretty full with good books.

Oh man, Rob Worthing just announced a book on Oni-style tenkara. Instant order. #tenkara www.tenkaraguides.com/oni-tenkara-...

Winter is really going full bore until the end. Yet another snow day. We haven't had a full week of school in a month.

I woke up early for this lunar eclipse, but unfortunately we have total cloud cover here.

Just finished An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by @edyong209.bsky.social. Recommended!

I really wanted to read Cecil Heacox's classic Charmed Circle articles from the March/April 1969 issues of Outdoor Life, but I couldn't find them anywhere online. So I tracked down physical copies and scanned them so you can read them, too. cagrimmett.com/2026/03/01/c... #flyfishing

We've turned a corner. Our 4yo decided he loves carrots this weekend after two years of rejecting vegetables outright.

More people live in Tehran than New York City. It’s a bustling metropolis. The people who live there have a thriving culture despite their own government and the machinations of ours. They do not deserve to be bombed by us.

If I were a gear company, I'd simply give my gear to a bunch of kids for 30 days for testing. They wear things out faster than construction workers.

I don't pop molly, I read Paul Ford International bring back the blog post

What makes a blizzard a blizzard instead of a sparkling snow storm?

"When libraries are blocked from archiving the web, the public loses access to history. Journalists lose tools for accountability. Researchers lose evidence. The web becomes more fragile and more fragmented, and history becomes easier to rewrite."

I'm really inspired by what @cagrimmett.com shared on the Big Apple Brook Trout eDNA mapping program, led by Gerald Berrafati of the Mianus chapter: cagrimmett.com/2026/02/11/b... If every waterway could have this level of local awareness of life I think everyday folks would be more engaged.
