At Newcastle my HOD once invited me to a meeting with various senior Professors. Apparently my "input" as a postdoc was urgently needed. When I arrived I was given everyone's order for tea and coffee. 3 of the people in the room were on hiring panels I was seeing soon, so I did not tell HOD to FO.

Even with recent incomplete data the rapid rise of Covid in Anchorage Alaska is concerning. They went from very low levels to high in a quick period of time signaling a ton of people are being infected in a hurry.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

I used to install safety cameras, the only tech in them is a cup and a piece of string - no metal at all. There is, however, a very annoyed redback spider from Australia. We're not sure why it had to be a redback, we tried funnel webs and hunstman spiders, but only the redback worked.

I have it on good authority that traffic safety cameras only contain angry bees and stale Nature Valley bars - don’t waste your time

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
