Christian, antifascist. Politically, I'm about as far left as Bernie and AOC. If you're alive, you need housing, food, and healthcare.

By day, I'm a Cloud Automation Engineer with experience in VCF 9, Ansible, pipelines, and other supporting technologies.

Nights and weekends, I like to bake bread, hike, and work on my home lab. I even occasionally blog about my home lab! If I get any good aurora pictures, I *will* post some of them here.

I'm slowly turning into a history nerd, with an interest in how the US has intervened all over the world, no matter the cost paid by the other country.

We're moving Super Mario Bros. to an agentic workflow. Rather than controlling Mario, you'll simply prompt the agent with something like "beat 1-1", and it will take direct control of Mario for you. This frees up more time for more important things like doing your taxes or being stuck in traffic

FYI, there's a reasonable chance to see #aurora tonight (Thursday June 4)!

Never any guarantees with aurora forecasts, so try not to get too excited. My advice is to watch SpaceWeatherLive (https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/auroral-activity.html) or Aurorasaurus (https://aurorasaurus.org/) to see if the activity is high before going out.

Especially this time of year, because it doesn't get dark enough until pretty late at night (e.g., astronomical night doesn't happen at my location until 10:32 pm).

Auroral activity

The latest solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data covering the past two hours as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft. These parameters are the first parameters used to predict auroral activity.
