Looks good for lunar eclipse viewing on Thursday night, eastern Colorado! Denver will be near-totality (93-95%), and just about totality (95-97%) east of Limon.
Max eclipse: 10:12p. Starts 8:30ish, ends 1a.
Forecast looks good at the moment, more as it gets closer!

@BianchiWeather A beautiful Funnel of moisture rising out of Clear Creek/Golden, spilling outwards (at the tropopause?) Impressively fast growth. I imagine it’ll aim straight for DIA and unleash hell, as is August tradition. #COwx
Journalism and Science works, folks.
In all our years of research, there was one behavior we could never observe, one event we just couldn’t capture on camera, our 'white whale' you might say. But after years of meticulous preparation and planning. studying footage, reading animal tracks and sign, and becoming one with the forest, we have finally captured that which we sought: raccoons doing it.
And we did not just get a glimpse—we captured a whopping 101 minutes of unfettered copulation spread across 3 days.
Well, take that back, there was, what appeared to be, a 3rd wheel that interrupted some lovemaking on a beautiful sunny March day. But now that we think about it, it is more likely a youngster that walked in on its parents and is now scarred for life by what it saw.
But this pair did not let that interruption deter them, they just did it for 66 minutes straight a few days later. The life of a raccoon...

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Let's celebrate the legacy of hope, courage, and unity that Dr. King inspired in us all. Today, we honor his dream of equality with acts of kindness and love.

The marrow in my bones demands me to build beautiful things. Frustratingly so.
2024 is loaded with *beautiful* products. Exciting and my Absolute best.
I can’t wait to share them with you.
My son microwaved a leftover grilled cheese for three minutes. What came out is akin to lava rock. The cheese foamed up and quadrupled in size. Tap it and it rings hollow.
We brought a new car home for my wife today. The first new one—ever—for either of us. I loathe the man, but this little Tesla Model 3 is a transformational user experience. It…might just spoil the gasoline pot.
Will it survive a rogue wave or beaching a coral reef? This is destructive testing—YOLO in the 11th hour.
I bought a fancy camera today, and I am excited to make sharper, even more beautiful videos.
My joy is to teach with no words:

“If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.”
A life well lived.
“I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.”
“If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.”
“Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.”
“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”
“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”
“I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don’t have any real knowledge.”
