I live in SF, and professionally I’m a learning scientist—at a research institute for a couple of decades, and now in industry (and, of course, my views are my own and not those of my company). Sometimes I may be found bike riding in the city or environs. Oh, and I was never on Twitter, so I’m not only learning mastodon, but figuring out the whole thing!

I bet a few of you don’t know that I made a short sci-fi film!

It’s about six minutes long and follows Kes, a cyberpunk cyborg, and her best friend, Rover, a robotic puppy car!!

#Dgar Now listening to:
Sunday Afternoon Drinking
~ The Seagulls ( @PhilV )

Solid rock song. Driving drums and guitar sweep you along, tapping your feet and bop you right into a vocal and organ solo that transitions to an amazing swinging crescendo. Very satisfying. Excellent song.

@peterme — just met a friend at the Alchemist at 3rd & Townsend, then walked to Civic Center BART (yes, a longer walk than necessary) to take BART to meet other friends at the Ocean Ale House. Agreed— a good day to be outside—and also to have a couple of beers!! #sf #sanfrancisco

Hanging out in annoyingly mild 63° weather, looking at this hideous sky, while listening to the racket of foghorns, in this hellscape known as San Francisco. 😍

Our well-oiled healthcare/insurance system at work… sorry for the childish state of the redactions, I was too exasperated to do anything else #fuckCigna #UShealthcare
