Some good news: I think I've succeeded in shutting down Pest Proof, a company selling a scam mosquito trap filled with yeast, sugar, baking soda, and citric acid. Its e-commerce site started displaying, "Site Inactive", today, at least. Over the past several weeks I've sent complaints to all 50 states, the EPA, the FTC, and to regulatory authorities in Canada and the UK where it was also being marketed. Someone listened, it seems. Traps like this kill innocent insects, not mosquitoes. #mosquitoes #insects

Rummaged through the top shelf of the closet and found the old #Iskra phone. The ETA 80 model appeared in 1980 and captivated with its futuristic design for which it won numerous awards. At first, it only came with a rotary dial, and later models got a keyboard, mute button, and additional keys. The one in the picture is probably an ETA 85 or ETA 86. I have signed off the landline but the phone…

That was an amazingly bright #ISS pass! I haven't seen it in a while so that was cool.

Another talk that I moderated at #icm2026 - again my gracious introduction did not make it into the video, but around 35:58/40:17 I am barely audible, giving the speaker the 5-minute alert and asking him to read the blue line on the slides, which was pretty much illegible in the room but shows up a little better in the video. This time there were no audience questions after the talk.

Had some KMFDM pop in my head yesterday so that means a listen today. I like Money and some of their earlier and a little of their more recent, but my sweet spot (and what in doing now) will always be Nihil from 1995, Xtort from 1996 and Symbols from 1997. What a RIDICULOUS three year punch of perfect, banger records. And lots of Ogre from Skinny Puppy on those.

I'm chilling some sprigs of yarrow (Achillea millefolium) to slow down some tiny wasps I'd like to photograph. I'd wager there were 2-3 individuals on each inflorescence, and seemingly all the same kind. The flowers were too dry to offer any kind of nectar reward so I'm assuming the wasps are there to parasitize something developing inside yarrow fruits. #wasps #yarrow #insects #achillea
