From 3 y ago. There I am, well, in photon form at least, on a laptop screen onboard the #ISS. Thanks @space_mace for making this possible. The laptop is in the US Laboratory, on the deck (floor) in front of the Material Science Glovebox! There's a container of Skittles at L.

And why not? Cyclonic weather and the PNW are made for each other this time of year.
Most major models have some sort of strong cyclone impacting the Pacific Northwest next weekend. Too far out still for exact details like storm strength, track, and timing, but this is going to be worth watching over the next week.

Tasks performed autonomously with CoPilot.
Wow Microsoft just announced Copilot Actions for local files 🤯 You can basically ask Copilot to perform any task on your machine autonomously. Yes. - Open Copilot in Windows - Assign a goal in natural language - Copilot launches a contained environment - It works autonomously

This would be a good development. It made little sense at the time when he was dropped just short of confirmation.

Pastor Charles delivers another inspiring sermon this week in which he declares his position on marriage; coupled with his related declaration on loving your neighbor as yourself. This effectively and respectfully mediates between the often extreme views on these issues.

Shortwave Radiogram Some have asked about the Shortwave Radiogram transmissions (SSTV of sorts via shortwave radio programming). Here's the current format and schedule. At my Vancouver location I have most success with the early Monday 5850 kHz transmission at 0800-0830 UTC.

Crop from broader shot taken by METEOR M2-3 this morning around 10:45 AM, just as cloud began to sweep across the Metro Vancouver area. See how many stratovolcanoes you can spot, and name (Mount Baker is just in the cloud here). @BCNewsAddict @SeattleWXGuy @WestSeaWx

Wow! FT8 signals from 110 countries over past 24 h (123 over past week). And PSKreporter can only display the last 4 h of hits! Monitoring 16 FT8 frequencies covering all bands 10 to 160 m via MLA-30+ loop antenna and PD-SDR, here in Vancouver. @K3TripleR @N4JAW @TubeAmpTinker
