It turns out that air-cooled vehicles really don't like cold and wet weather (Central NY), especially when you're running an aftermarket carburetor. Mechanic suggested a pre-filter and showed me how to tune it to the weather, and we're back on the road. 🧡

Would you like to learn a bit more about our MA Media Studies and PhD programs at Newhouse School at Syracuse University? Join one of our virtual open houses at newhouseimpact.carrd.co.

As the incoming MA Media Studies and PHD program director, I'd love to chat more about this. =)

FAB! Happy to see our SU Newhouse team of Janaki + Elena (two of my current PhD advisees) lead our #NHixlab's latest efforts towards eudaimonia in video games. This one? A Top Paper with NCA Game Studies. =)

Thanks so much to @icagames.bsky.social and @maxwellfoxman.bsky.social For this remarkably cool shirt. I can't see it, but on the back is a band style listing of every ICA Games since 2005!

It also made me realize that I have been to all but one ICA Games. 🍺🧡🎮🕹️
