Had a great time on a driving simulator developed by @ericbest and his @SUNY #Ai interns in the @ualbanyCEHC Mobile Sensor lab. Was impressed by the knowledge and passion of the interns working on the project for training @NYStatePatroI police officers and troopers. @ualbany

Still enjoying my midlife crisis. Five months for this one, rescued from the scrap heap to winter commuter. Body and interior are near perfect, drivetrain and frame are completely rehabbed. Out of character, but not going to modify this one.

Wow I am sad to miss #RStudioConf2022 . Lots of new class prep changes to do for the fall!

After watching almost a decade of development, testing, iteration, and an eventual retail launch with order fulfillment from every corner of our house, today I purchased my spouse’s product from her new US distributor!

I purchased matching 20” and 29” Trek Roscoes today, and I am so excited to give the 20” to the recipient I made a calendar.

Seeing lots about academics preserving large blocks of free time for significant hobbies, but not the related warnings that these can monetize on you and lead to a reduction in free time. Related, I now have strong opinions about end mill geometry.

Owning CNC equipment and a project vehicle is a force multiplier younger me could not have imagined. Also leads to a noticeable improvement in mood.

Figuring out what is possible with ground-based LIDAR, a nice change of pace after a tough semester.

Going through #rayshader tutorials, modifying locations and times (including correct sun position) meaningful to me. What wonderful tools, lots to learn!

This is funny since Zillow insists my house is an empty lot despite notification about the error (this actually caused a tiny wrinkle in my refi). At this point I hope the sustained incompetence also contributes to property tax reassessment since it has gone on for so long.

On the second day of class after syllabus review, I tell my students that locating and loading their first file is one of the most difficult things they will do. theverge.com/22684730/stude…

Comparing various COVID-19 data sources, but it appears worth looking at Fall 2021 test rates from a public policy perspective.

My work in 2021: I am so excited to receive the clear-sided, RGB everywhere, liquid-cooled, pre-built gaming computer I just ordered in desperation because individual GPUs are not available.

Having a great time watching #SLICED and I hope there are seasons during the academic semester for students to get into while they learn.
