    Do I have a favorite pen and/or notebook?

    My favorite notebook is a magnetic closed blank book I won at a cat show raffle. I keep it in my backpack and use it for new ideas and writing lists on the road when my laptop isn't handy.

    I like to write with a good quality roller ball pen, .5 fine. Our house buys pilot & Arteza brand by the box, and I've shared them with other writers at signings. I often use a purple one . . .

  2. Sundry Sunday: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
    May 22nd is the launch date of the remarkably anticipated Bubsy 4D, the most looked-forward-to Bubsy game since, well, since Bubsy 1. The franchise has been on a steady downward slope since the SNES/Genesis original, so it's nice to see the character do good for a change, unlike literally every other ori

  5. Je fais un peu d'élagage dans ma trousse de #StylosPlumes : retirer ceux dont je ne me sers jamais, ne garder que mes absolus favoris (tous des grands classiques : #Pelikan M400 encré en rouge, #Sailor Pro Gear Realo en violet, #Platinum Century #3776 en bleu, #Pilot Custom 823 en brun, les encres sont des Waterman). J'en profite pour me faire un petit plaisir en ajoutant un porte-mine #Rotring 800 et un stylo-bille #Sheaffer 300. Et pour protéger tout ce petit monde : nouveau projet ! 1/2

  7. "Horizontal Stabilizers" by XKCD comic - The cartoonist wonders out loud if airplanes really need those "little wings" in the back. Short answer: Sure, just remove one of the pilot's 3 axes of control and see what happens. But it doesn't even count as a short flight if it runs off the end of the runway, failing to get off the ground. Don't buy a ticket from an airline that cuts flight controls to save costs. xkcd.com/3241/ #aviation #pilot #avgeek #travel #WTF #oops #humor

  8. "Artemis II pilot talks about what it was really like to fly and land in Orion" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Eric Berger interviewed #NASA #Artemis2 #pilot (second in command) Victor Glover about the experience, and the differences in piloting Orion compared to his previous spaceflight piloting a SpaceX CrewDragon in Low Earth Orbit to ISS. Dragon flies with a touchscreen while Orion has a stick. arstechnica.com/space/2026/04/ #MoonJoy #Artemis #Moon🌖 #SLS🚀 #Orion #space

  9. I feel that those defending this #pilot are the same bigoted ones that cry about #DiversityEquityInclusion when it's not a cis white male in the Captain's seat. Good ol'boys club. Rules for thee, not for me. If this went sideways, they'd quickly pivot to "mental illness".
    If anyone non-white did this, they'd be triply harshly criticized, even if nothing went belly-up like it thankfully didn't here.
    What, a water cannon salute is below this guy? Pettar is right, safety first.

  12. US, UK, and EU #survey out this week shows 29% of #workers are #sabotaging their #company's A.I. strategy, with that number for Gen Z jumping to 44%! Among those who admitted to the #sabotage, 30% cited fear of losing their #jobs (FOBO - Fear Of Becoming Obsolete).
    Last year's MIT #study found 95% of generative A.I. pilots fail b/c of #learning gaps betw the tools & the organizations.

  17. 🚨✈️ Wow, who would've guessed pilots actually know a thing or two about flying?! Months of raising #safety alarms and still nothing—guess bureaucracy moves at the speed of a grounded plane. 📉🛫 Kudos, #LaGuardia, for redefining "too little, too late!"
