Hard to believe but true: @rittigers.bsky.social's Imagine RIT is just about 2 weeks away! youtu.be/45NtBnFWHCE #ROC

There's even a Rochester connection: @rittigers.bsky.social grads trained the Artemis II crew on how to get shots like this.

Earthset photos, brought to you with help from @rittigers.bsky.social alumni!

Watched the first season of Black Mirror tonight, so I'm going to need several days to mentally recover.

Classy move by the Sabres having retiring Amerks broadcast legend Don Stevens call some of this game tonight. His muscle memory had him saying the "Amerks" a lot, but he sounded great.

Peloton badge for working out 100 days in a row

First time earning this one. Still working on building better habits. #peloton

A roadrunner on the sand next to a road.

Saw a roadrunner. I am on the lookout for falling safes and paintings of tunnels on the rock walls.

Got to see a rattlesnake crossing the road hiking out of Sabino Canyon tonight. He didn't seem too bothered by my being there. Awesome moment.

Mountains in th desert with pools in the foreground

Not a bad view to wake up to!

Heading to Arizona, where the highs this weekend will approach "low" on your crock pot.

Our @rittigers.bsky.social marketing forum got some great AI info from @brianwpiper.bsky.social this morning from building processes to making sure we keep the humanity in our work. Definitely helped me think about some things from different angles.

Can't wait to hear her message to our grads! "Our grads" this year includes Zack, which is still hard to believe.

Textile Recycling - RIT Research Minute YouTube video by Rochester Institute of Technology

Every year, an estimated 11 million tons of textile waste goes into our landfills. That's equivalent to every 747 airplane ever produced!

RIT engineers are using AI, machine vision, and robotics to recycle textiles and recover high-quality materials from used clothing.

I appreciate this on a Monday morning.

It was amazing

A garbage plate reimagined as lasagna topped with cheese onion and mac salad

This absolute masterpiece is...was....the Garbage Plate Lasagna at Jack's Extra Fancy. Did it take a year or two off my life? Possibly. Do I care? No. Jack's, you folks may need to think about adding this to the regular menu rotation. Love this city, love our neighborhood. #food #yum

A soda dispenser labeled "Professor Zesty"

Professor Zesty is my favorite Dr Pepper knock off. I assume they are Dr. Pepper's arch nemesis.

Every so often you really want a @snopes.com story to end up being confirmed. This is one of those times. But, sadly....
