Just submitted my first transiting light-curve of WASP-135 b to AAVSO for NASA's Exoplanet Watch. How did I not know about this before, and why do I have to wait 2 days for my next set of data? Time to get my telescope set up and observing! #exoplanets

Really missing Mr. Fezziwig today. Went down to get some yogurt, and he didn’t come running into the kitchen when he heard the lid torn off. Cancer took him too early from us 😢

I’m also a board gamer, and this year was playing a lot with my (now) fiancé @katlikespie.bsky.social, trying to complete a 10x10 challenge. We weren’t successful, but had a lot of fun! Next year the challenge is to clear our “shelf of shame”.

Super proud of this! I finally finished my last class (pre-calc) needed to earn admission, and that was completed Monday. I have a 4.0 to restart my college career.

Started reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir yesterday and thoroughly enjoying it so far. The math and science references in it have been great! Highly recommend!

Seen in the science building at my daughter’s university. Anyone know where I can find the original to give credit? Seems like maybe an XKCD?

I say I’m a 🐈 dad to 4 and 🐢 dad to 1, but I don’t think I’ve introduced our fur babies or shell baby.
Today we introduce Zeus, an 8 year-old tabby who loves his mom, and is happy to be with me when she is not around. @katlikespie.bsky.social
