My wife and I put together this little Atlantis so my little Saturn V has a buddy on the shelf now 🚀

I shared my article about my Obsidian Daily Note template on Reddit in the ObsidianMD community and got a really positive response. I was surprised how quickly people were already trying to incorporate changes into their workflow and had questions for me (I had never posted on Reddit before)! I even had one person (@amerpie) reach out individually to let me know the template had helped him, and came to find out he was a fellow resident of Micro.blog! The web is an awesome and positive place when you know where to look!

Just added a Uses page to my blog! I linked to it from my About page but didn’t put it in the main nav. I hope to keep this relatively up-to-date, I’ll check in on it when I update my Now page roughly quarterly.

Little Saturn V on display in my office. Let me tell you these mini Legos were a PAIN to put together!

I was pleasantly surprised by the Wizard of Oz Museum. The interactive experience room was pretty neat! Although I have to say I liked the Van Gogh experience and James Webb images a lot more than the actual Wizard of Oz experience 🤫

Got a sneak peek behind the scenes at Blue Origin’s Orbital Launch System Manufacturing Facility where they are working on the New Glenn orbital rocket. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures other than in the lobby, but there was a lot there! They had the first New Shepard rocket, which had 5 successful flights, on display. They also had a Blue Moon MK1 prototype on display. And lastly, they had a prototype for their New Shepard Crew Capsule.

Spotted just inside the doors of the HQ building at Kennedy Space Center. The center’s namesake still inspires today.

“Cloud Breaker”. A Falcon 9 1st Stage returning to land back at the Cape. Pretty amazing to get to see my first Falcon 9 launch for the PACE mission.
