Heard the ice hitting our metal roof last night and woke to everything covered in a layer of it.
Nasty out there, #Vermont. Stay safe please.
Nothing beats Canadian winters.
Back in the day me and my brothers built so many epic igloos and forts, not to mention the snowball fights.
I always won, but I am the oldest 🤣
We always hoped it would get colder than -35c so the school buses would get cancelled and we could stay home.
Now as an adult, it's not as fun, I work remotely so there are no "snow days", but tobogganing and snowboarding still hits when its warmer (-20c).
I could never live south, winter makes summer more special.

My #introduction needs a refresh.
I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.
I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.
I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.
All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.

#Vermont State Senator Samuel #Douglass will resign after participating in racist Young Republican group chat. | My Nazi Senator.

Yesterday at the Burlington #Vermont food shelf I gave away 32 pairs of used reading glasses. I wasn't sure if there would be much interest but they were pretty popular. All gone in about 2.5 hours. We set up a display by the check-in desk and people were constantly trying them on.

Hello Mastodon!
This is the official Mastodon profile for Circuits In The Woods, a celebration of electronic music in Brattleboro Vermont, November 15, 2025.
Over the coming weeks we'll be posting info about the festival, links to the participants' music, as well as meeting like-minded musicians and music lovers across the Fediverse.
We'd be delighted if you give us a follow and share us with anyone who might dig what we're doing.
It's sad that it doesn't go without saying, but the Circuits in the Woods festival is all-access, kind, welcoming of all the ways electronics can be used in / as music, and absolutely positively non-oppressive (aka racism, misogyny, trans- or homophobia will absolutely NOT be tolerated -- or, to be really plain, NO FUCKING NAZIS).

Nice article on the transition of a #Vermont winery to a #workercoop that our organization provided support to through the process. https://www.commonsnews.org/issue/827/827winery_transition

It's nice to hear that CEO is working on coop conversations. Our IL CEO seems to be focused on ESOPs

In a baller move, #Vermont Democatic congressperson Becca Balint will be joining a town hall in Glens Falls, NY.
The good people of New York elected Republican Elise Stefanik, but Stefanik is MIA and Balint thinks the voters deserve someone to answer their questions about what the new budget law means for them.
