Tarantula Hawk
A photo of a Thisbe's Tarantula-hawk Wasp feasting on a fig.

I was out pruning the fig tree and notices a large critter on a fig above me. To my surprise it was this handsome wasp! I’d never seen one in person before so I was quite excited to see it chewing away on the over-ripe figs. Of course I submitted the photo to iNaturalist. #wasp #tarantulahawk #figtree

A photo of a very dusty me standing in the wind as the strongest dust storm I've experienced finally calmed down.

It was the hardest year yet. And great. The man burns in 368 days. )'( https://www.drcarlscamp.com/2025/09/03/build-build-it-again-and-again/ #burningman #brc2025

A photo of a ladybug (no spots) on a narrow leaf milkweed plant just after it grabbed an aphid and was holding it in its jaws.

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS! (@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social) (Mastodon 🐘)
People are supporting #LosAngeles food vendors by buying all their stock so they can go back home and hide from the #ICE Nazis. (And, as I posted earlier today, students in Boyle Heights are bringing groceries to people who can't leave their homes. This kind of program is going on all over the country.)

Mutual aid is resistance! Not everybody can physically handle tear gas or the heat or rubber bullets, but many can still help those in hiding get enough to eat.

I learned about Arrival.Space recently. It’s an attempt to open up the 3D web and make creating spaces and little experiences easier and more accessible. You should be able to explore my space via this embedded window. #metaverse #3dweb #webgl

The Augmented World Expo logo with the words "I'm Attending" above it and a photo of my face with images of 5 avatars I've used for various worlds receding behind me.

I’ll be wondering from talk to talk and exploring the floor Tuesday and Wednesday. Who else?! #awe #awe2025

A screenshot of the "The Farthest" title art. The text is in a narrow font over an inky black background full of stars and part of the milky way. A rendering of voyager sits prominently in the center.

As I’m laid up with COVID I finally had a chance to watch “The Farthest” documentary on PBS. It covers the Voyager project from the very beginning to the piercing of the heliosphere as Voyager entered interstellar space. Really great interviews and emotional highs and lows of one of the most incredible things humans have done (all with technology from 1972).

You can watch it directly on PBS’s site: https://www.pbs.org/the-farthest/

A photo of Bug, a beige cat with one eye (his right), sitting at a table like a human looking expectantly for food or at least a decent conversation.Yesterday was a sad day as we said goodbye to this handsome, one-eyed devil. Bug was the best cat whose only desires were a spot in the sun and, especially in later years, a warm lap. We will miss you terribly Buggy. #bug #cat #rip

A photograph of a stage in the Sheraton Universal ballroom with a large TEA Inspire stand up logo.

Morning of day 1 at the TEA Inspire conference and we started learning about Sphere and then right to a delightful playground in the UK. A wonderful contrast of high tech and hands on.
