18h

Watching Netflix's "Below" is reminding me of my time in St. John's when I was working on my MS degree at Memorial University. MUN's Ocean Science Centre, which plays a major role in the series, is where I got my scuba diving training. In February 1984. We had to break ice to get below the surface.

18h

And my regulator froze open. Twice.

I'm watching Twin Peaks for the first time (don't hate me!). 10 minutes into the pilot episode and I'm already addicted. Pray for me.

I just saw an excellent example of the doppler effect in episode 1 of Twin Peaks.

Oh, this is terrible news. David’s poetry appeared nearly a dozen times in Kaleidotrope—most recently in Spring 2025—and while we never met, he always seemed like a decent guy in all my dealings with him. His humor will be missed, and my sincere condolences to his family and friends.
