New fear unlocked... I'll be giving manhole covers a wider berth from now on.

I thought I had a good handle on what hubris is. But the current group in the administration that thinks they can get a quick victory in Iran just went next level.

So tomorrow we’re bullish, right? Since we had a callback to “You’re Fired” by Tweet? Man, those were the good old days, weren’t they?

When D3 was released in February 2011, it transformed how we build data visualizations for the web and ushered in a new age of unbridled creativity in information design, data journalism, and beyond. Today, it remains the backbone of modern, interactive data viz.

Happy 15th birthday, D3 🎂

Dusk reveals pink clouds, the moon, and a lit baseball field before a game starts in Phoenix. The large chain-link backstop frames the picture taken from the bleachers behind home plate. A forgotten bottle of water sits alone on a seat. The school and houses atop a small hill are beyond the outfield fence. Saguaro cacti dot the hillside.

Ready for a Friday night baseball game in Phoenix.

History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes? Hard to tell the difference.

Trying to make some sense of it all. But I can see that it makes no sense at all.

Clowns to the left of me… Jokers to the right… here I am… Stuck in the middle with you.

But just like market rebalancing, they will deploy elsewhere… which state is next?

I thought they rotated over to the Russell…

As a constituent I would rather hear the core message as a challenge for employers to use it as a way to improve productivity and add to people’s capabilities. Improving the employee is a better approach to grow business capabilities and create competitive advantage.

The race to the bottom accelerates.

I’m old enough to remember America losing it’s mind over Gary Hart having an extramarital affair. It’s just a race to the bottom now.

Wait, what? When did we shift from 2 weeks to 1 week? lol…

To be fair, the first episode seemed to have some impressive numerical facts about the economics of oil companies… lol

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Oof

Gets the ball at the 20, then runs backwards for another 20 yards and unleashes a monster to his guy 5+ yards into the end zone. Just magical.

I could get on board for a 1986 rematch. I may be getting ahead of myself but seems like the Bears have a tougher path.

Green Bay knows exactly how Denny Green felt. (Monday Night in AZ - GIK) With Denny’s time in Minnesota, though… ironic.

It was my fault. I took the dust cover off and started mine up on Sunday and renewed the registration that expired in 2024. I’ll cover it up again.

A photo of a messy garden bed where tomatoes are starting to grow in random places.

Volunteers. I planted 2 varieties of tomatoes in this bed about 3 years ago and they keep coming back. And, yes, I have to clean up the bed… Arizona gardening is always fun.

All the best to everyone this holiday season regardless of faith or circumstance. To people experiencing difficulties, may the universe grant you a reprieve.

Definitely! It’s in Phoenix and it’s my first choice.

Just a rock on a beach with light waves cresting before it.

@dow.bsky.social Dow kinda energy today.

Looks like my dogs in Phoenix today.

Wow. What a week it's been!

Oh, wait... It's only Tuesday???

My brain saw the picture before registering the words and I thought "McAfee?" Then when the words registered it was like "huh..."

So you won’t be at AI world next month?

<I will show myself out>
