Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

Nandor the Relentless

It's spooky season, which means it's time to post my favourite vampires...

This was done in watercolour and acryla gouache, quite small at 4x6" or so I think?

A small portrait of conqueror "Nandor the Relentless", in his battle armor.

ICYMI, here is the press release for my study with @drjuliawester.bsky.social - we surveyed over 800 scientists who use social media. They overwhelmingly agree that Twitter is no longer useful or pleasant, and that for all professional online scientist goals, Bluesky is superior.

#ScienceSky, tell your colleagues to leave X, delete those x buttons on your lab page and replace with a butterfly. I declare #Bluesky the official social network for science and by scientists (you and your network of colleagues operate as your own algorithm determining what you see here). 🩺 🧪

Yesterday after hiking my wife and I found a little brewery in Hill City, SD called Lost Cabin Beer Co. They were having a fundraiser for pet emergency services involving dogs in costumes and a 0.5 K run/walk. It was a perfect fall day with food trucks & delicious beer. www.hoboshealingheart.org

Tonight's Milky Way taken from Point Reyes, California. The frames were taken about 33 miles, as the pelican flies, from San francisco. Light the curvature of the Earth is weird!
