Sometimes ideas for poems or songs or whatever just arrive to you in the middle of the night. Pow!

I scribbled thru some parts of this one, still in progress. It's intended to be a song but I've still yet to compose the music for it...

They're finally snuffing out the 'standard candle.' It's an assumption in cosmology that all Type 1A supernovas are exactly the same. Without it, the age, distance and expansion rate of the observable universe will need to be recalibrated, and some of the Hubble tension should disappear.

Sometimes you got to break out the old records just to keep the dust from collecting. Dark Side was always one of my favorites...

I like vinyl because it lasts. To think, this thing was pressed a full 52 years ago now, yet it still sounds awesome.

Working with kids on creative writing recently has reminded me: storytelling, at its heart, is a human to human sharing of language and meaning and experience.

No kind of imitative machine, AI or other, will ever be able to do that. It's a fundamentally cognitive act; it can't be faked.

Autumn is the spirit season. Someone once said it's when the veil between one world and another thins. A dying time, perhaps, but a sacred transition: when color and sunsets umber and burn, the light of heaven begins to stretch and days fade. After the last leaf is down, nature whispers "eternity."

How about some end-of-summer flowers?
That'll make you feel better.

What's up Bluesky Crew!

I've been working hard on the sci-fi sequel; it's been a ton of fun. Should have the full manuscript completed very soon. Soo... I decided to go ahead and release an early chapter on my author's page.

Check it out!

Called it! 🤯

When I wrote 'Eon: Part 1' Dawn had just visited Ceres and new data was pouring in. I scoured the public info, fantasizing its having a frozen, briny subsurface of rocky caves.

Today updated studies are confirming this true! (Lucky guess I guess)

NASA Researchers Show How Ceres Could Have Once Been Habitable
The dwarf planet is cold now, but new research paints a picture of Ceres hosting a deep, long-lived energy source that may have maintained habitable conditions in the past.

I enjoy lambasting billionaires, is that a problem with anyone?

Sonification is such a cool method to interpolate data in a different way. Making 'music' out of info: 💯 Plus, it totally conjures up a super spooky/spacey vibe, and is just objectively awesome.

"Hot Blob" sounds like a band name, no?

I think the question here, as raised by this article, is how is it remotely possible a billion year old mountain range hasn't weathered away to dust by now?

I guess the answer is, it has, and then it rose from the dust.

I really wish humanity could evolve some, just for the sake of our own shared future. The old, violent ways are not what we're gonna need for our future survival.
We need new ways. Better ones.
