And it can’t be an accident that “Jerry” is on the hurricane name list this year, the 30th anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death #GratefulDead

I think about this lyric from Jack Johnson a lot with respect to AI decisioning replacing the human process

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Nice work visit to FLL but happy to be back home

Snow blower season is upon us.
