@first_arnold That’s just the initial warning, I think.

They definitely haven’t told my family to leave yet, and the website still only has the warning listed.

Looks like the #CaldorFire is almost at the Lake Tahoe airport. It’s spreading much faster than I expected.

I‘d be surprised if the Nevada side wasn’t evacuated this morning. Stay safe, everyone.

@first_arnold Douglass County on the Nevada side is still just an evacuation warning at the moment, no official order to go yet.

(I’ve got family there who relocated after the California side was evacuated yesterday morning.)

Watching the Caldor Fire get closer and closer to South Lake Tahoe.

Thankfully my mom got out with the evacuation order this afternoon, but it’s heartbreaking to watch. 😢

We have a visitor at the airport here in Truckee. Just sauntered across the runway.

Looks like he wants to take some skydiving lessons!

Took a scenic flight over to Yosemite this afternoon to do some aerial photography.

I love how this shot of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Tuolumne River turned out! 📷✈️

I'm having flashbacks to Microsoft's Clippy here. 📎

If you're putting a chatbot on your website, ask yourself if users actually want to see it and how often it's relevant. Case in point... no @UPS, I don't ever want to talk to someone just because I was tracking a package. I just wanted to know when my package arrives, that's all.

Late christmas present from my family. Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming".

Larger than I realized, but I've wanted a copy for a long time!

@barefeats Just a heads up... the link to this article from your homepage is going to the wrong page. :)

Also, any idea when the test results from the 2.2 GHz model will be available?

Turns out the FCC’s info update form does a case-insensitive compare before writing fields, so now half my address is uppercase, half isn’t.

[Trevor Johns @tjohns]

Trying to get the FCC to change my name in their database from ALL CAPS to Title Case. First attempt just made it worse. -_- #ocd

Just heard that a faculty member was fatally stabbed at my alma matter (@USC). My heart goes out to the community and friends there.

I'm always amazed that there isn't a community WiFi mesh network on the peninsula. This is silicon valley, why aren't folks on top of this?

The Surface Studio looks like a solid Cintiq competitor. Too bad it can’t run MacOS or be used with a discrete GPU. https://t.co/k4btpUYwfp

With this storm passing through the west coast… I want to install a weather station on the roof. Build it myself, or buy a pre-built kit?
