Hi, friends! This is to let you know that I switched from my previous handle (nsj dot bsky dot social) to my domain, @natejohnson.org (which is just a redirect to my LinkedIn profile for now.) Same ol' me, though. Cat picture because why not, the world needs more cat pics.

Forced password and passcode changes that don't give you any heads up or warning and that use a different keyboard (QWERTY vs 10-key) than the default input are terrible UX and terrible design.

@gruber.foo Re: recent DF post on CarPlay. Another factor that doesn't get much press is that of incongruent time scales between phones and cars.
Not only do people replace phones more frequently than they replace cars, and phones are designed and manufactured on much shorter time scales.

Used today’s 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (and the song of the same name) to workshop how to produce a TikTok/Instagram-style video with my media meteorology class. Kinda wish I’d just told them to run with this for this week’s assignment - some really neat ideas.

Football hot take: Any kick that hits the upright gets one point for the kicking team. If it bounces in on a FG attempt, it’s four points.

Periodic reminder: A “ground stop” for XYZ airport means traffic destined to fly to XYZ is being held on the ground at their points of origin, not that anything has “stopped” at XYZ.
So, a “ground stop for CLT” means planes at *other airports* are stopped from leaving for CLT.

Wolfpack Nation! Do not let the warmth of the afternoon sun fool you! Temperatures will CRASH at sunset, leaving us in the lower 50s at kickoff and deep into the 40s by the time the game is over. Stay warm! Bring your (red!) jackets/coats and your hot chocolate money.
