#BlackMastodon When I started off in engineering, I told a senior colleague that I wanted to have a career a generalist instead of specializing in one area of expertise. His response was dismissive "Jack-Of-All-Trades. Master of none."

I've since come to find out that the actual full quote is:
"Jack of all trades is master of none, but oftentimes better of a master of none."

With respect to all the specialists, don't let anybody shame you for being a generalist.

Oh, hi #Pittsburgh.

Not a bad view from our deck, this weekend.

This rare shot of the earth and moon positioned like this was taken yesterday.

I had a rush of anxiety and panic thinking about sitting in a NASA spacecraft and looking out at the blackness of space.

Just an eternity of nothing. Forever. No sound. No light. No life.

Imagine if you were a cosmic creature and you had to travel through that kind of space -- even at the speed of light -- for years. How awfully oppressive that would feel.

I don't ever want to go to space. I like earth.
