Hopefully, it's more of a midlife incident than a crisis, but this weekend I dumpster dived for 1,587 pounds of photovoltaics. Feeling a little sore. I hope 7.6W/lb isn't a bad deal. I'm still dismayed that the school district is just throwing them out.

I found a trove of free solar panels (patch.com/new-jersey/caldwells) and I now have a new project to get them up on the roof of my carport. Wish me luck and respect the wagon! #VW #VWGolf #VAG #DIY #SolarDIY #solar #local #NewJersey

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

Demario Davis: Jets brought me in to 'model what they want that culture to look like'
Following a disappointing 2025 campaign, the Jets imported a slew of veterans to help solve a leadership void on Aaron Glenn's club. Demario Davis understands that he wasn't signed just for his on-field prowess.

I’m completely charmed as
— after pointing to the band and saying,
“I don’t know who these people are,
but I hope they know the same songs I do”
— they launch into a solid rendition of
“Dream When You’re Feeling Blue,”
with Reilly singing a strong lead and launching into even stronger comedic dance and pantomime during the instrumental sections. 

Review | ‘Mister Romantic’ Delivers in Laughs
While love may continue to elude John C. Reilly’s character, entertainment does not.

I have a feeling, based on nothing but behaviour that Bluesky's current problem is the restart, connect all nodes and all of them, including different PDS instances are doing this all the time.
The answer then is to leave it alone and wait.

This is a brilliant piece of information about one of the greatest films ever made, Coppola's The Conversation. Do read it if you love that film, it's a real eye-opener.
