Wild! Note that Flying Squirrel habitat in the West is being decimated by the deluge of logging & “restoration” projects. They can’t glide across clearcuts & thinned trees & they use mistletoe for nests but the FS targets trees with it.

Some rough compositional thumbnails, sauropod-themed of course. The image of browsing sauropod with the head closer to the viewer is a common perspective, so I'm seeing if I can make it look unique. #paleoart

November chuckwalla hanging out on a cliff down in Death Valley, Black Mountains. These herbivorous lizards feed on green leaves after rains. They use rock crevices for shelter. ~15 inches long. #herps

18 mya, Lisbon. Amphicyon meets Deinotherium while foraging on the coast. Skyrocketing temperatures and coral reefs made Burdigalian (Miocene) Lisbon a tropical paradise during wet seasons. Conditions were similar to those of modern day Guinea Gulf.

The message is clear: legacy, proprietary networking stacks aren’t built for AI. Organizations must change to support AI training, inference, and fine-tuning at scale. At SC 25 @DellTech's Saurabh Kapoor underscores how AI workloads behave differently from anything enterprises

An 'up-to-the-minute' portrait of our universal electromagnetic superpositional cosmos of creation. I was fortunate to be one of the guinea pigs for the entire 1969-1973 'mod' school experiment at Nordhoff High School, Ojai CA, where the students planned and scheduled their own

The Amargosa River here spreads out into a braided wide channel merging with runoff from the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge area. I love how there are no transmission lines or other infrastructure on these wild public lands to mar the vista on the California/NV border
