I finally completed a project I have been thinking about for years: a 'supercut' video of @RushtheBand's performances of their classic "Closer to the Heart" from the original music video in 1977 through their final concert tour in 2015.

Super psyched that my guy Kyle has agreed to join me seeing Rush this Tuesday!
I'm trying to properly prepare him for the experience, and since he's 13, have decided to try to communicate in a language he understands well: YouTube Shorts!
(pray for me)

How did we go from pneumatic tubes to AI chatbots in humanitarian aid? 📬➡️🤖

See my Humanitarian IM Milestone Report, tracing 100 years of innovation - from first aerial assessments to @UNOCHA

Key takeaway: it isn’t a single spark it’s often percolation

SPC is highlighting the most significant tornado risk of 2026 so far. Central Illinois into southwest Michigan is the bullseye, with the highest threat this evening into tonight. Strong to intense tornadoes are on the table. We will be live soon.

Two years ago I found myself with a bit of time on my hands over the Thanksgiving holiday, and decided to make some use of it by putting my mind to a project I had long envisioned but never really believed I'd be able to pull off.

To my surprise, it actually came together, and the result was this YouTube video combining over 35 years of my favorite band #Rush 's performances of their classic song Closer to the Heart: https://t.co/QGWBJidI2Z

With the huge news of Alex and Geddy touring next year again, it seems an appropriate time to remind folks of the video. Now as then, I hope it brings some joy and memories to Rush fans (old and new)...

BTW: I'm opening myself to new experiences and exploring the whole @BlueSky thing: if you frequent that platform and want everyone (or at least, me) to know it, drop a reply here and I'll know who the cool kids are to follow...

@engineco16 @barkflight This is what my GF gets for going to her gals night out and leaving me to root for her Chiefs.

@engineco16 Got 'em right where we want 'em.

This is my annual PSA to remind everyone that I remain baffled why the NFL insists on having Super Bowl "halftime shows": the platonic ideal was achieved in 2007; everything since has been redundant.

Breaking from @hntrbrkmedia: China’s DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer, has disabled U.S. geofencing on its drones, enabling flights over airports, military bases, and no-fly zones.

DJI says it is putting “control back in the hands of the drone operators”

Hell of an airshow over #PalisadesFire. @flightradar24 multi-select only allows 6 aircraft at a time, but there are at least 10+ fixed wing tankers in this screenshot... https://t.co/uRGLZfOqbo
