And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

So here’s all I’m asking. If you’re reading this and you can throw $5 towards the cause before we start that would be swell! If all 7600 of you who follow me on BlueSky do that (and I assume you’re all active users who read every post I make) we’ll break records!

Rise and shine each morning at 6am with the refreshing and vibrant Dawn Guard crew! Rustle up your most robust coffee roasts and finest fashions, then add in a dash of daily gameshows for the perfect mix of overcaffeinated chaos to guide you through to lunchtime.

Few dare to pilot the Zeta Shift, starting at the stroke of midnight and running all the way to 6am. The Zetaful Eight ride again, bringing chill conversation, high stakes brick assembly, and musical interludes. If you're a night owl or on the other side of the world, they've got your back.

Night Watch hits the scene each evening starting at 6pm and running up until midnight. Previous editions have been full of arts and crafts, auspicious adventures, and Beyblade. Who knows what they'll get up to this year, but we'll all find out starting on November 14th!

Technically kicking off the show (since we start at 3pm), and then occurring from Noon-6pm daily is Alpha Flight! With familiar faces shuffling into the shift, it's hard to pin down what they'll be up to this year, but we're sure it'll be fascinating.

I've always liked this paper, though I don't believe it evaluated cubehelix at all: idl.uw.edu/papers/quant...
