After another successfully family gathering for Thanksgiving, it’s time to enjoy the best part of the holiday. The Bowl of Everything leftovers the next day while enjoying peace and quiet.

Are there worse things in 3d printing than having a filament run out when you thought you had enough for one last job, only to have to cancel it because you don’t have any compatible replacements to finish it with? Definitely. Still… not fun.

Today is already proving to be an eventful day. These two decided that 5AM was the absolute best time to claim the bedroom as theirs.

Growing up in rural Wisconsin, one of the things I never expected to see in person was the Golden Gate Bridge. I took this shot a few weeks ago while flying for work. Can you check something off a bucket list if you didn’t know you had a bucket list to begin with? #travelphotography #sanfrancisco

Starting my day with online discussions on foodborne pathogenicity and emergent avian flu cross species transmission risks wasn’t what I planned for the day. Enough of that. What’s everyone doing that’s fun, exciting, or just plain cool today?

This isn’t meant to alarm anyone, but this is something that you will want to keep informed on as it develops. The H5N1 bird flu has been steadily making inroads into crossing the species barrier into humans. One of the first places you’ll find emergent pathogens doing so is in wastewater.

In honor of the absolutely dreary weather outside in Wisconsin right now, it feels like a good time to post possibly the best weather I have ever experienced in my life. Mission Bay in San Diego two summers ago. I could have happily sat in this spot for days. #sandiego #travelphotography #travel

After enjoying a day to myself for my birthday while the wife, kids, and dog were away at work or daycare it’s time to get back to work. The rainy and dreary autumn weather outside matches how I feel about that.
