To celebrate the New Year, this weekend I enjoyed a fantastic desert hike at sunrise and I spent a bunch of time making a video about the experience. It was wonderful to get back in the groove of both activities again. #hiking #desert youtu.be/zHKUE0IRAHE

It's been a while since I've included a hiking video on my YouTube channel. I put together an episode with a couple of my latest hikes. I hope you enjoy it! We all need to step away from outside, get outside, and enjoy Mother Nature. #hiking youtu.be/E0dLlx7QoaM

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

It seems that Tim Apple is taking the company in a different direction.

Have you considered there are already too many Bluesky users?

And frankly, I'm tired of the "But, Google does it too!" excuse with Apple and Tim Cook kissing Mango Mushpot's ass. Fuck all of it.

Liquid Glass at its finest? #apple #liquidglass No thanks.

IAH terminal B is everything that is wrong with United Airlines, including the woman at the upper gate screaming at everyone. United should be embarrassed.

good thing a hurricane you can't see doesn't exist

Alaska! For the love of God, get Lisa Murkowski out of there.

And after looking at social media for 15 minutes ...

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Tropical Depression One-E has formed south of Mexico and is forecast to strengthen to a tropical storm this evening or Thursday morning. We'll want to track this one as its remnant moisture could push toward the Southwest U.S. this weekend. #CAwx #AZwx #NVwx

Our weather here in Phoenix will become active come late Saturday through early Monday as low pressure parks itself over our region. This help help to usher in moisture from TS #Alvin which is currently located South of Baja California. #azwx #Phoenix

On the bright side, I'm hoping the weekend weather forecast, giving us a little taste of monsoon season, provides for a decent storm chasing opportunity #azwx

Reading the elation over the rumor that Apple is moving to a year-based versioning system (like Windows 95) is making me cranky. 1. Apple used to be better than that 2. It's obvious that the marketing department calls all the shots at Apple now 3. It's a blatant shove to get people to buy more

If you would like to see my latest #stormchasing adventure, you're in luck! Here's a video! #tornado #stormchaser youtu.be/rdCrly2MEuA

I posted my first #forecastmodel video on my channel, as I get ready for #stormchasing in May. In this episode I explain how I look at the forecast models about two weeks from my intended chase week. #stormchaser youtu.be/tUO7c5gsFB0

With all the coverage around the Blue Origin spectacle earlier this week, I felt the need to write down my thoughts about it. #blueorigin blog.jpnearl.com/2025/04/17/t...

Even though there’s been record heat in the desert for the past week or so, I was still able to get a hike in this past weekend. I went up to the Mt. Lemmon Summit Trailheads for the first time this year — beautiful views and cooler temperatures! #hiking #travel #video https://youtu.be/Q8cK3KnOBGU

My latest YouTube video features a review of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera while I'm out exploring Southeast Arizona. Enjoy! youtu.be/BPppuArOJiI #camera #travel #youtube #vlog #review

My latest hiking video is now available on YouTube! I'm trying out a new camera for the first time and I really like the way this episode came together. #hiking #travel #arizona youtu.be/jSGiBBQsHwc?...

Someone is ready for his TV Guide Close-Up.

My voice sounded a little under the weather when I went on this hike. I had planned on hiking in the snow, but the Pima Co. Sheriff closed the roads to all except residents and employees in Summerhaven. So I focused on the warmer landscapes instead. #hiking www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP4K...

Truman strikes a fashion pose for #Caturday. Social media needs more cat photos.

I just posted my latest hiking video. This time I hiked up to the Wildhorse Pools in Saguaro National Park East. #hiking #video Reposts appreciated. Let's get as much positive content on the Internet as possible! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj9e...

A short little video during Lake Effect Snow youtu.be/-1kUBc_z10M

In the grand scheme of all that’s happening throughout the United States at the moment, it’s looking like Apple’s “Gulf of America” on Apple Maps is a bit lower on the irritation scale. Gosh, that whole Gulf of America thing (it’s still the Gulf of MEXICO) seems like a year ago.

I'm fine with these fools doing "Airport Theory". They'll most likely miss their flight. I hope they're in my row. I'll enjoy the extra room as they sip their latte at a closed gate door.

My mother’s roommate in the hospital has switched from MSNBC to Fox News. I was really tired of MSNBC but having Fox News screaming into the room is horrid at best. Turn off the 24 hours news channels. All of them. Delete the apps.

I live in the desert but I still know my snow belt roots. Driving in the snow is not a problem.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The NTSB database search no longer works.

We are back east for some family business. Lake effect snow is moving in over Lake Ontario, so naturally we drove up there and stood on the lake shore in 30 kts winds with waves crashing and snow whipping. The storm chaser in me loved every moment. I’ll put together a short video soon.

If you’re looking for role models in the public sphere, be a Zelenskyy. Don’t be a Trump, a Vance, or a Musk. Be a Zelenskyy.

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

Someone needs to punch VP Beardy Maybelline in the face

I am not the first to say it but I do sort of see where JD Vance's mom was coming from when she traded him for drugs

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Seeing a television across a room covering the latest WH press conference. I don’t know what the hell happened but it did not look good.
