Last night's northern lights. Vertical shot. You probably want to click this one to see it bigger. This was a good show.
This is actually looking south. They were all around last night.

About last night. I have rarely seen the Aurora this high, and never this red. #Nunavut #Arctic #Aurora #AuroraBorealis #Photography #Astrophotography #LandscapePhotography

Wow! Time does fly! Born March 23, 1953, Happy 70th Birthday to Chaka Kahn.

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs ~$3 to make.
Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.
Textbook corporate greed.

The best thing my students ever gave me. I thought they were just really diligent note-takers the whole semester, but it turns out they were compiling a book of all the craziest things I'd said, all *very much* out of context. It's 152 pages long.

@nutjob4life I think I’ve got the contact details of the whole Realestate family.

Sometimes I love being an iOS engineer, and sometimes I spend a whole day debugging AVAudioSession.
@sommer I have an iOS calculator app and 90% of coding and debugging time was to make the keys click.

Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?
Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.
In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”
As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.
As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.

My friend, Jessie, took this stunning photo a week or so ago when the moon was full: eagle and the moon. Wow!

Archive.org has http://dpreview.com going back to 1999. I just donated to them to help keep all that information around. The manner of the shutdown ("available in read-only mode for a limited period after...[April 2023]": https://dpreview.com/news/5901145460/dpreview-com-to-close) is a reminder of how important doing that is.

The Wombles had the circular economy all figured out back in 1968. We should all aspire to be like the Wombles.
