A great day testing newly built OpenCTDs in Woods Hole.

Scam email going around from a .com IRS account claiming to activate your kids Trump account with an app download. Fun.

I think it's pretty bad that people who don't enjoy doing the things that make us people are trying to reshape society to fit their antisocial worldview.

AI has been one prolonged metaphor for "if you only have a hammer, every problem is a nail".

A sentence I just wrote for my book: "In the interim between the Ocean Dumping Ban and New York building waste-processing facilities, the city loaded train cars with sewage sludge and shipped their waste to West Texas for landfill disposal. This 'Poo-poo Choo-choo' ran from 1992 to 2001."

What an incredible place to spend a week building low-cost oceanographic instruments. Huge thanks to the WHOI Deep Tech and Dunkworks team!

Seeing folks 3D print pressure housings that are cycled to 1000+ meters on consumer 3D printers has A: blown my mind and B: convinced me to order a Form Studio 1. Some extremely cool stuff happening at WHOI and URI right now.

Next week I'm off to Woods Hole to talk about low-cost ocean sensors and run a CTD building workshop. Next month I'm off to Kyoto to talk to giant virus researchers and look at a pipe that connects a small fishing village to the abyssal depths, for fun and science! Do they have a mascot? Yes!

Seriously, journos of Bluesky, you have my email. I can quote you so good on this one.
