The blog continues, though readership is near zero according to the stats I get. Sigh.
Nevertheless, the blog will continue to continue. So there!
This spring saw the usual topics: robots, blockchains, the cryosphere, solar power, computer stuff.
Speaking of solar power, our home finally has a small solar array, which came on line on June 21, the solstice. Hey, look at me! I’m a power company!
Band Names
As usual, here is the Dave Barry tribute, some “great names for a band”:
Trilobite Eyes
Metalens
Extreme Depth of Field
“Boasts Huge”
