Glad to know I'm not the only one that visualizes some of these models as sitting in a corner eating paste half the time.

Our new collaborative project just hit the news in BC! We had a fantastic time touring Northern #Jomon UNESCO sites this week. Lots of great discussions with our Cowichan and UVic partners with lots of exciting research themes to explore. #archaeology 🏺 www.timescolonist.com/local-news/e...

A couple more shots from the Norwich Cathedral. And in case you were wondering, I was unable to resist a little pet for the seat warmer.

Haven't sat down to post much about it, but I had the opportunity to present at the Society for East Asian Archaeology this summer & do a bit of touring while there. Took far too many photos, but I thought I'd share some for a bit. Here's one of the Norwich Cathedral that I like.

Hey everyone!
I am running a survey on the photogrammetry industry and would love for people of all skill levels who use photogrammetry to fill it out.
Please share it around!
I really appreciate your time on this one, hopefully we can learn a thing or two

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Now is the time to contact your employers and rally to protect vulnerable colleagues. The administration is demanding that any valid H1-B visa holders outside the U.S. (or their employers) pay $100,000 for them to reenter the country, as of Sunday. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

a screencap of the White House Proclamation: RESTRICTION ON ENTRY OF CERTAIN NONIMMIGRANT WORKERS
Proclamations
September 19, 2025
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

The H-1B nonimmigrant visa program was created to bring temporary workers into the United States to perform additive, high-skilled functions, but it has been deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers with lower-paid, lower-skilled labor. The large-scale replacement of American workers through systemic abuse of the program has undermined both our economic and national security.

News has been pretty bleak lately. Since it's possible to have both good & bad things happen at the same time I'm going to try to break up some of the doom posting with some lighter & happier posts.

For instance, here's a little friend that came to visit while excavating last month 🏺 #archaeology
