Not going to rage post on social media about politics.

Gonna leave that to the poasters and pundits.

Just going to share photos of all the beautiful public lands I like to visit and talk about the weather.

Oh. Dammit. This sucks.
Next time I’m late to work I’m going to reference this.

“Are you sure about that? What is ‘time’ anyway?”
“In short, the atomic ensemble time scale at our Boulder campus has failed due to a prolonged utility power outage. One impact is that the Boulder Internet Time Services no longer have an accurate time reference.”

i would like more of the world’s wealthiest people to do this sort of thing
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Nothing quite like waking up hours before dawn and hiking uphill in the dead of winter through deep snow to gain a high vantage before the day begins.

This snowy predawn scene is from a few years ago, when it still snowed in the Rockies.

Chanukah sure hits different during a prolonged power outage.

Shabbat shalom.

Currently experiencing high winds in the foothills southwest of Colorado.

The power has (mostly) been off since Wednesday morning because of the fire risk.

My neighbors toward the northwest — the direction of the winds currently gusting close to 60 mph — have a remodeling crew there 🙃

City skylines always look so apocalyptic from a distance, especially with a little bit of haze.

All right. You’ve talked me into it. I’m gonna buy a ring light and start telling it like it is.

I’m really not keen on Instagram, Tik Tok, or YouTube, though.

Gonna try to reach the olds by distributing VHS tapes at the local community center I guess. No more dicking around for me.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Favorite things: lone trees amongst the glowing red rock at sunrise in Bryce Canyon National Park. See ALT text for more.

Hello everyone! Been a while 😊

Winter sunrises high above treeline are the best. Love waking up hours before sunrise and trudging up the snow to gain a ridge. Maybe it will be an epic sunrise. Maybe just high winds.

I hate it when it is a super pretty sunset and I can’t even get to a parking lot to enjoy it.

George Lucas or Disney or whatever needs to fix his movies and replace Liam Neeson with an actor who doesn’t lend his voice and fame to anti science causes.

Open to suggestions but thinking of Sean Bean.

Would add a fitting legacy of his characters getting killed off.

Spoiler alert, I guess.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

A recent favorite photo: my dog Indy atop Bear Peak above Boulder. My wife is approaching in the background.

Had to drive into town this morning. The curvy mountain roads in my neighborhood weren’t much of a problem.

Some nasty icy patches in the city, though. Already warming up, so hopefully better driving conditions soon ☃️

Not posting much but know that I am screaming inside seeing how people
are using AI to “make” music.

I’m sick to my stomach on how generative AI has stained the creative arts and photography communities and seeing it gain traction in music is just breaking my heart.

More playmaking wizardry from Nikola Jokic, as he spins into the lane and delivers and AMAZING no-look behind-the-back pass to Peyton Watson on the baseline cut for the layup
