Couldn't have happened to a more perfect person. Good riddance, and may we never hear about you again.

If the trend holds in TN-5 I will be doing the happiest of dances. After being redistricted (again) I'm no longer part of it, though I'll be rooting for folks to excise their current Rep. The people of TN-5, and the State of Tennessee deserve so much better.

The past little while I've been tinkering with an idea to build an ultralight 10" Newtonian that I could pack down into a 70L backpacking pack. Upcycling the mirrors from a donor scope, printing most of the rest. It's been ~30 iterations and finally wrote it up. #Astrophography #3dPrinting

Youngest son to Oldest: Hey, what's your fav. soda? Old: I have 3. Glass bottle Root Beer, Big Red, or Cheerwine. Young: Mine's Mello Yello. Me [thinking]... my work here is done.

Destiny friends, I think I've discovered the most diabolical crucible breaking thing I've ever found. I'm sorry. I'll do my best to not use it often so it stays off Community radar. Same token, so much fun 😆😂🤣

Dropped off our youngest for his Scout Camp week. With Mom and big brother out there staffing camp if feels weird to leave, and not be participating myself. Looking forward to hearing about all the adventures when I go to pick him up!

Accurate 🤣

Random Thought of The Day: Seriously pondering what the Hive Rune for "AIAT!" looks like. Or, is it a glyph? Have we been staring at it for 14 years, and just not known it? Yes, this is what I spend Friday's after lunch thinking about 😆😂🤣

Seeing the state of the games industry right now is soul crushing. As a lifelong Tech person (we have more than our share of issuesk) watching the cannibalization, the decades of experience, and utter ineptitude of games leadership is simply beyond comprehension to me. All my empathy to those in it

For all my Bungie friends, both current and former, a heartfelt thank you today. I'm eagerly awaiting this evening when I can log on with both my sons to experience the update (photo from my now 16 year old wearing his MoT shirt at 6 years old).

Though it's the last we'll see in the Destiny universe (for now hopefully) I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all each of you have done for so many fans. Y'all truly didn't just put a "Dent In The Universe" you created one that will stand forever.

If anyone's a middle aged (read: Boomer) like me, and you can't decide on a meaningful emblem for today's Destiny update... There's always just the "Screw you, I'm old!" option... Harmonic Commencement: VXN-V3T-MRP

Logged back into Destiny 2 for getting my legs back under me last night. Still pretty much right where I left them. Have decided I'll retire them when they hit 10k each 😆😂🤣

Taking my youngest to see The Amazing Digital Circus screening tonight. Never seen a single episode, no idea what I'm in for, though lots of cosplayers so guessing devoted fans. Happy I could make Charlie's week to go and see it.

9 years in our new home means I say it differently, though the sentiment remains the same. Now more than ever be vocal for those who simply want to exist. I see you. I support you. And, most importantly of all... Love all y'all. Live your best lives friends.

Does anyone else think it’s crazy that there's this world of lore, that millions of people fell in love with, and characters in it like Osiris, Saint-14, Eris, the Drifter, Savathun, Xivu Arath… …and somehow that world was mishandled by executives in a way that made the game shut down?

With the Destiny news this week today seemed only fitting to go deep in the closet for where my journey really began. After running solo for a while I, along with my then 4yo son, finally found my first group in Dad's of Destiny: West Coast To all my friends I've made since, here's to the memories.

Our 8th year of service through our Scouting Units at Nashville National Cemetery is now complete. Of all the projects we participate in this is the one I look forward to the most. A moment of reverence for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A helluva ride I've enjoyed immensely. Lots of feels on this one. So here's one final... Eyes up guardian.

On June 9, 2026, we will be releasing our final live service content update for Destiny 2, Monument of Triumph, available to all players. 📰 For full details: bung.ie/d2_may_21_2026

I've never been to Space. It's been a lifelong hope one day to do so, though not yet. After reading "The Overview Effect" by Frank White in 1987 it profoundly altered my worldview. Here's hoping maybe someday society at large will adopt a new way to look at the world...

We're getting floors replaced in the first floor on Wednesday. So far my step taking app has logged just shy of 2 miles in doing all my prep downstairs. Given I've been at this for the past 7 hours, those numbers are a damn lie! I'm ready for it to be Thursday 😞

Happy Mothers Day to all of you being honored, and honoring, today. May the day be filled with love for each of you. And, if today is one you dread all year today I'm your Mom. Know that I'm proud of you, see your work & progress, and wish every single one of you success beyond your wildest dreams!
