Holy cow between unexpected certificate updates and now trying to patch everything on campus running PHP (which apparently is pretty much everything we host and use), this just turned into a crazy week

[car dealership waiting room] Me: [chanting] knobs, knobs- Other car buyers: knobs, KNOBS Car salesman: [pounding desk] KNOBS, KNOBS, KNOBS!

Social Media FTW. The person behind those great Consumer Products Commission posts explains why he does what he does.

It’s going to be a great year @globeradio.org

Incredible run of photos, showing Randolph St (Millennium Station) in early 1977, by Lou Gerard.

Forecast exceeded again. River now at 21.02’ and rising faster than expected at Nora. Was not forecast to hit 20.9’ until after 2pm.

A historic flood is forcing central Indiana residents to evacuate as the White River rises. Indianapolis is bracing for the river to crest at 20 feet by 8 a.m. Saturday, following excessive rainfall. DETAILS: https://tinyurl.com/24w8kdrc 

Keeping my old Indianapolis community in my thoughts today, I remember seeing those flood gates in Broad Ripple and wondering when they’d ever need to be used. The New Normal is here and it really sucks.

According to Hudl support “While we did support a public API structure in the past, we unfortunately do not have any public API integrations available to share at this time.” 😐 Cool awesome we’ll keep manually entering data in 5 systems every game. We’re small so that won’t matter to us right?

Finally did it- passed my exam and earned my @avixa.bsky.social CTS certification! I’m glad I studied like I did, felt lots more confident going through the test than I was expecting. #avtweeps

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

Coolest annual thing in Michiana by far: Goshen’s Float Fest

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

The Higher Ed AV Awards were tonight and Goshen College was well represented—Isaac was nominated for Rising Star of the Year, and our new Schertz PC Computer Lab project received two awards including a best of class! #InfoComm2026 #avtweeps #edtech #higheredav #HETMA

First conference badge acquired- HPE Discover!

I do apologize for my sudden posting - I’m headed to Las Vegas for the week to attempt simultaneous conferences: HPE Discover (I’m backup network & infrastructure at work) and Infocomm (I’m primarily AV at work). Stay tuned for various musings. Or mute me for a bit, that works too. #avtweeps

Heading to Vegas on Monday for a week of double conferences, gotta get the homestead in decent shape before I leave town. Nothing like mowing till it’s too dark to see with a tasty beverage.

Somehow, I’m going to try to balance going to both the HPE Discover conference and Infocomm at the same time this year, so already overachieving a bit. The ONE paid session I’m doing at Infocomm is the @avsuperfriends.bsky.social “From Prompt to Project” AI workshop. Really looking forward to it!

This week on Michiana Chronicles, Tony Krabill reflects on almost three decades at WVPE on his last day as program director.

Jiminy Christmas, I might not be much of a fan of racing, but I have become an incredible fan of this damn race! #indy500

These new Google Workspace icons rolling out are... not great. Especially in the browser tab bar in a very small size, they're *very* indistinct. Much bluh, very blobby. Not a good change @googleworkspace.bsky.social

Globe staff takes on a fiery challenge🌶️ check out the full video on YouTube at the link !! youtu.be/_H7OuLDGnaY

Me in 1991, watching “Darmok”: Communicating by allusion and literary reference? Ridiculous. Wouldn’t work. Me 35 years later: [communicates 50% by meme]

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a... im woefully behind on podcast consumption so I’m finally getting getting around to listening to my coworker Mike’s first of two episodes on the AV/IT Amplifier! #avtweeps

Make sure to check out our latest Globe News Report on our YouTube @91.1theglobe. We take a look into the closing of the Mennonite Historical Society. We follow the Globe staff on their trip to New York City. We’ll sit down with illusionist Vitaly. all that and more on the globe news report.

United this week:

On #ConnectGoshenDay, I should explain how my GC education was foundational to my career, and that supporting Goshen College allows today's students the same opportunities. But more importantly, giving $18.89 lets you name a squirrel anything you want. Give today! giving.goshen.edu/connect-gosh...

@globeradio.org this could make for a great question of the day! "If you need to make a big purchase (plane trips, TV, major event tickets), are you using your phone or a computer?"

Somebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.

I hate how many of Goshen's crosswalk lights won't ever cycle green unless the beg button is pressed. I'd still want the button for pedestrians to trigger the cycle just like the car sensor, but why *not* give peds a green every cycle?? If it takes too long to cross, that's not the ped's fault!

Happy 317 Day Its crazy to think about how different Downtown Indianapolis has chanced since 2009

hear me out: instead of widening this road, what if you diverted the funds for this and future maintenance costs to extend the Monon Corridor to Cedar Lake

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Do I know anyone on here who’s done motion graphic design for video, or knows someone who does? I’d love to explore building a library of branded templates and building block elements from an existing brand. #videoproduction #avtweeps

Absolutely wacky weather right now at Goshen College in Goshen, IN. It hailed long and hard enough to actually build up on the parking lot, and even when the rain started coming back the hail got smaller and smaller, maybe more like big grapple. It lasted probably 7-10 minutes! #inwx #miwx

Praise be

The ejection video is just… well it’s something! x.com/traylor_matt...

Well folks, Indiana’s newest electrified railroad will officially open on March 30, 2026.

One thing they don’t warn you about buying some property in the country: the urge to buy a Tractor come on strong and fast… could all my problems in life be solved by a 2025r? Who’s to say!
