How did the grid react as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo passed through over the weekend?
This is something I pulled together over the weekend. It's part of a new video format that I'm exploring to better explain what's going on within the energy system and the wider context surrounding it (such as the weather).
As always, a huge credit is due to all the open data sources that make these visuals possible. I've listed them all at the end of the video, please check them out.
(Much) More soon…
As some of you may know, I love card decks for the introduction of some randomness and intuition to move people along a process. I’ve now put them together into one Card Catalog that’s shareable with you.

These pendants were created many hundreds of years ago, commissioned by two women who were friends and lived together in the Middle East.
Their inspiration was Hypatia of Alexandria, the famous female philosopher.
Following her example, the two friends devoted their lives to the pursuit of wisdom.
Their home became a gathering place and a refuge for women seeking spiritual purity, who were dissatisfied with ordinary worldly life.
From generation to generation, the pendants were passed on to the most deserving women of this community.
All of them had died long ago, and the jewelry was discovered in an abandoned building and handed over to a London antique dealer.
This gold is pure. By touching it, you will not be defiled, but will gain strength and enlightenment.

Since we’re on the subject of social movements (France, Italy, etc.), I’ve put together a brief overview of what’s been happening in #Greece over the last two years. Essentially, we’re looking at 7 key issues: Tempi (railway disaster), wages, housing, social welfare, farming, environment, and employment.
There is plenty of action, but there does not seem to be strong alignment across the protesters, and so, at the moment, they remain relatively fragmented.

In an animation explainer, the decision is whether to write words first or pictures first. I would write them together, beat by beat: one sentence for one visual change, with a pause where the motion needs room. That keeps narration from racing ahead of the image and keeps the image from waiting for words.
What matters when you choose how to pair words with pictures?
These criteria conflict. More on-screen text speeds understanding but splits attention; more pauses slow the pace but let motion land. Choose based on the single idea the viewer must remember.
How do you judge each criterion in an animation explainer?
CriterionA useful checkOrder of ideasRead the script while hiding the storyboard; does each sentence create the next picture?Match with visible objectsPoint to the screen for every noun; if nothing is there, cut or move the sentence.Speed of deliverySpeak the line at normal pace while watching the motion; stop if you finish before the motion ends.On-screen textRemove every on-screen word that repeats the voice; keep labels and numbers the voice skips.Pauses for movementMark a short silence where an object enters, exits, or changes; if the voice fills it, the motion feels rushed.
Order of ideas. A newcomer does not need the conclusion first. If the first sentence names the benefit before the problem exists on screen, the picture has nothing to do. Start with the object or situation the viewer sees, then add the claim. For example, show a cracked pipe before saying that pressure causes leaks; the sentence then explains what the eye has already found.
Match with visible objects. The voice should not describe a thing that appears later. When the sentence names a part, that part should be the part the eye is already on. If the sentence is abstract, give it a concrete visual anchor before it is spoken. A phrase like "the system fails" needs a visible failure, not a diagram of the whole system.
Speed of delivery. Fast speech can sound confident, but it leaves no time for recognition. A line that fits the motion often feels slightly slow on its own. That is usually right, because the viewer is doing two jobs at once. If you feel the urge to speed up, the sentence is probably carrying two ideas.
On-screen text. Text is not a transcript. It works best as a label, a number, or a short phrase that the voice does not repeat. If the viewer reads and listens to the same words, one of them is wasted. A label such as "step two" can guide attention while the voice explains why step two matters.
Pauses for movement. Motion is part of the sentence. A wipe, a build, or a character crossing the frame needs time to register. A pause of a few words, or a breath, lets the picture finish its thought. If the voice fills that space, the motion looks like background decoration.
Which red flags show it is the wrong choice?
One red flag is enough to stop and revise. Fixing it early is cheaper than fixing it after the animation is built.
What should you ask before you commit?
These questions are not a checklist to pass once. They are a way to find the sentence that is doing too much.
Frequently asked questions
Should the script or the storyboard come first?
Neither should be finished first. Start with a rough list of pictures, write one sentence beside each, then revise both. The first draft of an animated video is usually a set of beats, not a polished page of prose. If one side is locked early, the other is forced to serve it. The goal is a shared order, not a winner.
How much on-screen text should an explainer video use?
Use on-screen text for labels, numbers, and short phrases that the voice skips. An explainer video does not need a transcript on screen. If the text and the voice say the same thing, cut one of them. The viewer should not have to choose between reading and listening. Text earns its place when it reduces the number of words the voice must carry.
What if the animation is already finished?
Write the narration to the motion, not to your original idea. Watch the sequence once without sound and note what changes and when. Then write one line for each change. If a sentence has no matching change, it is probably commentary and can be cut. An explainer video script written after the pictures should be shorter than one written before them, because the pictures have already done part of the explaining.
Try this on your next draft: read the script beside a rough storyboard and mark every sentence that has no visible partner. Rewrite those sentences or cut them, then read the whole thing aloud while watching the motion. The goal is not fewer words; it is words that arrive when the picture is ready for them.#animation #video #design #writing #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community

Our Birthday Walk Through Clifty Falls State Park
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: In addition to our annual road trips, my wife Anne and I have a twice-yearly tradition of spending our birthdays together, often traveling beyond Indianapolis to some new place or attraction as a short-term road trip -— partly as an excuse to spend time together on those most wondrous days, partly to explore areas we’ve never seen before. That’s every May for me and every October for her. We’re the Goldens. It’s who we are and what we do. Last weekend it was Anne’s turn. This year she wanted to see one of Indiana’s state parks that we hadn’t previously visited... ...and the winner was Clifty Falls State Park, two hours south of Indy. It's among Indiana's smaller parks, but Anne rather liked the idea of viewing pretty waterfalls on her special day. Unfortunately Mother Nature denied her birthday wish, but at least we got some steps in and enjoyed some cool autumn air.

While setting up my floodlights and automations last night I revived some old tech I'd not used in years. In the process I put together Cat TV with an old POS Samsung smart (very dumb) TV. We weren't using it but the cats sure enjoy it. I'm only leaving it on for half an hour here and there but it's a hit.

the "halloween train" took me way too long to rebuild today. (it got smashed to bits two years ago and not all the pieces were together and i had to relearn how to program the silly lego powered up app). eventually it goes on the mantle. it is a hidden side lego train i bought at a garage sale years ago plus power plus train motor wheels plus a bunch more cars of minifigs in costumes.

It's sad that a modern desktop can't run well on 4 GB RAM. Tonight we visited a woman who studies on a university online; I had put together a 4 GB RAM #Linux laptop for her last year (optimized #linuxmint takes 1 GB of RAM on a cold boot). She's constantly swapping with #LibreOffice, browser, and 1-2 more apps. Everything crawls, even if things were actually worse when it was running Win10. I just wish devs optimized more in general. 4 GB should have been enough.
Haris Rauf, like a ham actor nicking the Oscar winner's scene, finishes it with a four off the first ball of the 48th over. The last Pakistan wicket has put together an unbeaten 89 to win the match for them. Rauf, the number 11, ends with 7 not out from 19 balls with one four, while Shadab Khan, soon to be named Player of the Match, has 113 not out from 96 balls with 13 fours and five sixes. Whatever mathematical possibilities might theoretically remain in practice England's tournament is over, since losing this match from the position they were in is the sort of body blow that no side can bounce straight back from.

Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’, Room On The Porch, 2025 on Concord
Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' put out an album together called TajMo in 2017. This was the follow up to that collaboration. Great version of "Nobody Know s You When You're Down and Out." Nothing terribly surprising here but a right down the middle easy blues LP. My copy—via Barnes & Noble at the North Shore Mall—is a Memphis Record Pressing / GZ Media edition on "opaque aqua" (blue) vinyl.https://goatless.org/2026/10/25/taj-mahal-and-keb-mo-room-on-the-porch-2025-on-concord
