This was such an awesome experience, especially for an av geek like myself, and I am so happy I get to say I was there when the new Pittsburgh terminal officially opened (and played a part in the process!)

I don’t always enjoy midnight shifts, but an overnight deployment to Pittsburgh Int’l to support their EOC during a transition from an old terminal to a brand new one? Yes yes and 100% yes. Nerding out over here.

I can’t even begin to describe how demoralizing it is to work not knowing when my next paycheck will be, only to see those who can actually do something about it take recess while getting paid and saying shit like “See? You don’t even notice a shutdown because the govt is broken” to constituents.

The modern baseball lasts an average of 2.5 pitches before being taken out of play forever.

This week I’ve been participating in a phased array radar testbed and I’ll say this: if this agency does ultimately choose to fully invest in PAR as the future of weather radar, that future is certainly bright.

If you have time to kill and want to know what a pre-environmental protection era was like, Google the 1948 Donora, PA smog incident
🚨 BREAKING: Trump's EPA is moving to revoke the "endangerment finding," which serves as the legal basis for tackling greenhouse gas emissions.
This is what America looked like before environmental protections. We can't go back.
