  1. I read both praise and critique of "Pluribus", but it is at least a newer media reference for the Very Large Array than that one "Terminator" movie.

    I was working at the VLA when production came to shoot the opening scenes of #Pluribus. So as a #FBF and in honor of the third episode dropping today, I wanted to share some of my photos.

    Heading to Cadiz, we stopped here.

    You can tell by the quality of the photo, just how much we'd advanced 😆, from Polaroids with Hand-Waving days?

    Pixs had to be sent home to develop (weeks); 10 ports but only 300 photos taken! It was 1977 #FBF (pre-digi)

    Digital Photos since?

  13. #FBF - Spinners memories. Jose Iglesias at bat and on base in 2012; the Dog Man (IYKYK) in 2006. See the smokestack in photo no. 2? That's right next to where I live now. Close enough that a Vlad Guerrerro Sr outfield throw could hit LeLacheur from my building. But, alas, no more Spinners. 😢

  15. #FBF to the League of California Cities’ Annual Conference and Expo last week! It was really inspiring to connect with millennial and gen z city leaders throughout the state who reflect our rich diversity. I was honored to represent the City of Berkeley. I learned so much and am eager to build on that in my work to improve equitable outcomes for our community, especially in the realms of health equity, public safety, transportation, and infrastructure. #CalCities #FlashBackFriday

  16. #FlashBackFriday at Notacon 2010 we joined the Security Justice Podcast to learn better how to survive the zombie apocalypse. #FBF

    At that time, we may have forgotten the most important lesson - proper hand washing, a skill we should continue to be practicing going forward!

  18. #FuneralFactFriday: Fantasy Coffins of Ghana

    Hey new friends! Here’s what happens: I post fun facts about death and funeral related topics, especially on certain themed days. For the past couple weeks, I’ve accidentally on purpose tied all of my posts to cats (Not literally, don’t ever tie anything to a cat). Sooo, here’s a cat-shaped coffin!

    For the past 70 years, master carpenters in Ghana have custom built “figurative” coffins. Families choose a theme based on their loved one's occupation, hobbies, personality, or symbolism from proverbs. You want to be buried in a lobster? They can do that!

    The tradition began in the 1950s when the village chief commissioned a palanquin shaped like a cacao pod (it’s a fancy enclosed platform with handles so people can carry you — very fancy). Unfortunately, the chief died before it was finished. The villagers opted to use it as a coffin after parading his body around town in a procession.

    The idea caught on. Other chiefs and priests were similarly honored, then regular folks began to request specially made coffins. The idea is for dead people to remember something of themselves in the afterlife and to highlight their social status.

    Carpenters and their apprentices hand carve the special shapes from local wawa trees, usually taking about 2-6 weeks to complete. Urgent orders can be completely faster if several carpenters work together. A fantasy coffin usually sells for about $1000, but for perspective, the people buying them are typically earning about $3 a day!

    Popular designs include airplanes, animals (family totems), Coca Cola bottles, shoes, cellphones, luxury cars, fish, and Bibles. If you do a Google image search, they’re fascinating to see! Which one would YOU choose???
