The clouds parted just long enough for me to shoot a few pictures of the Moon tonight. Increased saturation for mineral colors.
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.![]()

The Agile Manifesto: "Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely."
The Scrum Guide: "lol, let's call it a Sprint"
I have a "Job requirements" page on my website.
Typically when a recruiter reaches out I send them to the page and get one of two reactions:
- They ghost me
- They respond "that's quite a list, good luck getting that"
It filters out the bullshit and spammy recruiters that slide into DMs all the time.
Except for one recently that was super pleasant and helped me find my new job.
He looked at that list and said: "I gotchu"
