Dark gathering clouds
The promise of rains to come
Far distant, the sun

I made my living in the #AI world before these crazy times, and I don't understand these valuations. It feels like a big grift is underway.

I’m always amazed by how we applied Engineering rigor and analysis to soil. Something that’s so different from area to area. Just these two images can help classify a type of soil and, by extension, be able to determine its properties. I love all things #soil and #hydrology
I'm starting to think that Substack is not the place for me. I had some good traction in the beginning, and then overnight, I went to zero. Like, WTF?

In June 2026, U.S. state and local governments authorized roughly $47 billion in new infrastructure bonds!

That’s a staggering 340% above typical quarterly levels.

Transportation leads the charge at $19.7B, targeting highway improvements, bridge replacements, and transit expansion. California alone committed $18.2B, with Texas close behind at $12.8B for highways and flood control.

You know, Substack Notes aren't as good as Mastodon. Hell, Mastodon is better than Bluesky too!
On side note, I got back into making #music. This time I’m experimenting and exploring with #edm
Been a while. F’ing Threads and their walled garden censoring.
