I started reading at night before bed again. It's been nice. I've finally got around to starting the #Murderbot series.

#NowPlaying Sacrifice by Tesseract https://songwhip.com/tesseract/sacrifice

The drum and the baseline of that song are delish. Great vocals too!

Last work day before the Winter Break! I'm going through my ToDo list for the day, and I doubt my ability to complete anything. The day before any time off from work shouldn't exist. 😄

So my daughter has a habit of wrapping her retainer up in a napkin when she's eating. Today she left it wrapped up in a napkin on the counter long after she finished eating lunch and it got thrown away and the trash got taken out. So tomorrow I'll be calling the orthodontist to buy a replacement.

It's always something...

#Management Red Flag:

Middle management starts a “process improvement” by looking at how JIRA is used by the group and explaining, mostly on conviction, how everybody can improve tracking.

Tracking should flow downstream from the way work gets done. Focus on the people, not monitoring systems.

We've been enjoying watching #LessonsInChemistry. I've never read the book, but the show is pretty good.

Hello! I think it’s time I updated my #introduction #intro post.

I’m a software engineer at #CU #cuboulder Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics 🪐. I write data processing systems for satellite 🛰️borne scientific instruments, mostly in the #cloud ☁️. I’m also co-chair of the #LASP diversity and climate committee 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️, advocating for better organizational/leadership support for #DEIA.

I’m currently working on the Emirates Mars Mission UV Spectrograph 🌈 #EMUS (at Mars) and the #Libera Earth radiation budget mission ☀️⚖️🌍 (launching 2027).

I built and maintain the Space Packet Parser open source Python library for decoding CCSDS packet streams.

Having a morning where I've been up since 5am with my toddler, thinking about how I miss regularly #blogging, #podcasting, #toot-ing and also value my focus on #parenting and #mentalHealth more than that output. I'm tired, but I'm happy. I miss meeting more of you all through our choice to share public, but I still appreciate what I'm reading. One day sharing will be more part of my day again, I know that. But that time is not today.

I’m happy with these results

Top Artist: #SleepToken

Top Album: Take me back to Eden by #SleepToken

Top Song: Brillen, Brillen by #SantiagoOfTheSeas

There’s a WIDE gap between Sleep and Santi. I do have a 5 and a 3yo at home who loves Santiago. Besides, there are worse things in the world that pass as kid-friendly music. I like Santiago!

Now that the temps are dropping in most of the US, what are your go-to winter outfits? Are you a hoodie and jeans person? Sweaters and khakis?

Me, I'm a hoodies and jeans guy, but I also like to rock a sweater sometimes. I'll pretty much be wearing boots every day from now until April.

#BlackFriday deals in you’ve been benefiting from a yearly basis? Things like service/app subscriptions, software development tooling, or home essentials you need to increase or restock (towels, clothing, kitchen organizers)?

In my case, I’ve been benefiting from getting a discounted renewal of a Wallaby.js (https://wallabyjs.com/) license. It's a handy #WebDev tool. I also got some Onsen bath towels: https://huckberry.com/store/onsen/category/p/53111-bath-towel-set (discount code: WCSET). The Wirecutter recommends them, and they work pretty well for my wife and I. The current discount led me to get more.

If you need any further proof that K-pop is now a part of mainstream American culture, it's now a featured ingredient in the apple pie that is the Macy's Thanksgiving parade.
