I'm a photographer & art framer. All photos I post are edited using Darktable on a Linux box & licensed Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0. I do not use machine learning apps. Any composites will be clearly noted. I mostly follow science, history, & photography toots. Formerly, I was a civil rights & energy policy troublemaker (aka: a community organizer). And I'm a former netcast producer & host for the Plug In America Show, This Week in Energy, & a couple Hacker Public Radio episodes.

Live--from the Sonoran desert (well, actually, from about 30 minutes ago), it's comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS in the Arizona evening sky!
(Quick edit as my travel laptop is pretty old and junkie with a low resolution monitor that is not color corrected.) [10/27 update: Now that I'm home I've updated the photo with a properly edited version.]

Color photo of a comet with a long tail pointing up and to the left. It's a late evening sky with a orange-red glow of the sunset on the horizon. The comet points down at a far distant hill. A tall multi-arm saguaro cactus is in the left foreground. A second saguaro can be seen in the distance on the right. The comet is framed between the two cacti.

Our society is broken.

At CES, I read everything is "AI"--confirming my suspicion that AI is all about marketing and not about intelligence, especially in the consumer.

Among the "AI" products on display are: AI pillows, AI vacuum cleaners, AI refrigerators, AI bird feeders, AI shoes, AI belts, AI dog bowls, AI baby strollers, AI plant pots, AI mirrors, AI baby cry translators, AI BBQs, AI toothbrushes, and so on. Oy.

It's the "40th anniversary of the GNU operating system and the launch of the free software movement!"

Fifteen years ago, on the 25th Anniversary of GNU OS, the comedian / actor Stephen Fry recorded the following tribute--which also serves as a great introduction to what free software is and the philosophy behind the free software movement. youtube.com/watch?v=P_mS4CIXcL

A two frame composite of the Milky Way and my kitty "Ding" waiting for me to join him in the freezing cold tent. Ding loved to go camping with me. I sure do miss Schrödinger, the Kampin' Kitty 💔. (Photo: Massacre Rim, International Dark Sky Sanctuary, Nevada (5/23/2020).)

A photo of a brightly lit tent, a cat sitting inside looking out wondering why his human is messing around outside when it is so cold, and the Milky Way in the background.
