“this is such a great post about decoupling capacitors” I think to myself as I try to remember why I’m so interested in decoupling capacitors. https://codeinsecurity.wordpress.com/2025/01/25/proper-decoupling-practices-and-why-you-should-leave-100nf-behind/

surprised to find a rocket squid churning in the southern sky on my morning walk up to Tank Hill.

(the short focal length of the Redcat 51 is nice for producing only 10GB of raw data per 1.5º horizontal FoV, but it is a bit limited for angular resolution. then again, it is also questionable what my goals even are for making these inscrutable images.)

alarmingly-dry January in bay area but at least lots of Farallon views. imaged at 830nm near-infrared from San Bruno Mountain last week.

rewatching this Voyager episode in the modern context it’s hard not to imagine Seven is just shouting facts in the same way LLMs do. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Voyager_Conspiracy_(episode)

nearby corvid making this sequence of the Kaweah peaks, 175 km (110 miles) distant, much more interesting than expected. imaged at 830nm near-infrared above McKittrick, California.

no year wrap up post, just more airplanes. this time of year inevitably has some weird freight and charters at LAX.

[#]LAMetro opened a new stop very close to my usual planespotting hotel last month so figured I should go see it. Unfortunately they haven’t finished the station or I guess even the railway segment so it’s kind of a goofy little stub to Redondo. But slowly this is becoming useful for my obscure use cases.

some LAX planes to round out the special interests. bit alarmed by the weather down here; despite the marine layer it's pretty dry and seemingly warmer than usual for the end of the year. #planespotting #LAX #avgeek

Pleasant morning at Tehachapi Loop today. Westbound stopped while entering the loop to wait for two eastbounds to clear. Woodpeckers pecked. Raven couple gurgled with each other. #trains #birds https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehachapi_Loop

in case you need three joyful hours of a couple foamers riding every trolleybus line in the US. scrub to 1h47m for #SanFrancisco’s 33-Ashbury hairpin, one of my favourite things in the neighborhood. https://youtu.be/V6wg7QJWeO4

"The National Audobon Society continues to examine the data, but to date the reported sightings of birds are assessed to be lawfully operating birds, or airplanes or helicopters or stars mistaken for birds. There is no indication that they pose a danger to national security." https://computer.rip/2024-12-21-something-over-New-Jersey.html
