While I'll miss access to Star Trek, it was past time to cancel Paramount+ / CBS / whatever they are now. The cancelling of Colbert, installing Bari Weiss to lead CBS News combined with the subsequent corporate consolidation of media with the resulting layoffs were just too much.

Such a privilege hearing a new, powerful piece written today by the amazing Jesmyn Ward during day two of #humanitiesweek. Also, shout out to having a live transcriber at this in-person event. #ASUHumanities

I'll be sad to lose access to a couple shows but it was time to cancel Hulu, Disney, and HBO Max (or whatever they are calling it now). I just increased my sustaining memberships to PBS and NPR.

This #EarthDay I did my small part by commuting on my bike. I have been doing this three times a week which saves at least 60 miles of driving. It's actually fewer miles on my bike because of the route.

Looks like a SpaceX launch occurred tonight. The view of the contrail from Phoenix just a bit ago.

I had a fantastic ride to work yesterday enjoying the Arizona winter! I’m grateful for these bike/pedestrian bridges over freeways. I hope they finish the Guadalupe bridge that connects the Sun Circle Trail soon. Once that is finished, I won’t have to use the Elliot route over I-10 to get to Tempe.
