Remember this newsletter you subscribed to The one you havent seen since back on April 22, 2024 Welllllll its been a wild ride and an unplanned hiatus. But my goal now is to get back into this a bit more, and so I want to fire off this short note to just give a personal update. Next time, Ill be climbing up into that proverbial crows nest and looking out at the horizon ahead of us. For this newsletter Im going to look back instead at where the ship has sailed over the past few months. If you visit aggregation site, youd see that I have published some work articles but nothing personal since the last issue (035) of this newsletter back on April 22, 2024. No blog posts. No podcast episodes. No newsletters. No livestreaming to Twitch. No nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch. Nichts. So heres the story Type your email Subscribe The fun began back in early May when the 2017 iMac Id been using to produce my podcasts, do all my livestreaming, and write many of my posts started acting really funky. It was acting very slow.. and freezing completely. Many reboots and upgrade attempts later, I was finally able to identify that it was having S.M.A.R.T. disk errors. Which wasnt good. Its dead, Jim would be the Star Trek (Original Series) way to say it. Given that its from 2017, I cant upgrade it to the latest MacOS X. And heck, its so old Apple wont even give me anything for a trade-in. (But theyll help recycle it for me if I want. ) Giving other things going on (see below!) fixing it has been super LOW priority which has meant that my normal platform for content creation and production has been offline. So no podcast episodes or livestreaming. As that was all happening, a more massive disruption was entering our life we adopted an 8-week-old puppy! Named Barkley, hes a very lovable and adorable mix of a pug and a miniature schnauzer (apparently called a Schnug) who keeps growing and growing and now at 6 months old is larger than our 17-year-old miniature poodle. But.. my wife and I had never had a puppy before! Weve had a couple of dogs (and cats) but theyve all been a few years old when we adopted them. Anyone who has had a puppy probably understands what these last months have been like! Constantly watching where he is puppy-proofing the entire house constantly watching where he is stopping him from eating everything trying to train him a bit constantly watching where he is trying to prevent him from always attacking our 17yo dog stopping him from eating whatever oh, and constantly watching what hes doing. Its been exhausting! Basically like having a newborn child again only one that can run fast all over and has sharp teeth! But in the end hes a wonderful addition and weve come to love him dearly. Hes curled up against my foot as I write this and tomorrow night youll find me in a class with him. While all of this was going on, I was also enrolled as a in a very intense 12-week program of 10-15 hours of sessions each week all related to improving my understanding of the current state of information and science around climate change. As shown in the image below, it covered a very wide range of topics: Participating in this fellowship was part of my professional development at my employer, the Internet Society. In the last issue, I pointed to my article about and that continues to be an area of great interest and exploration for me. Ill undoubtedly write some future newsletters specifically around this whole area. My interest was mostly to refresh my understanding of current climate thinking. Ive been involved in environmental issues since the 1980s, and was very active in the broader movement in the early 1990s, serving in different volunteer leadership roles for different organizations. But then life took me away from that heavy involvement and my knowledge has aged. I heard phrases like regenerative agriculture but didnt know what they meant. (Now I do!) It was a good program and I met some great people and enjoyed participating in the community (which I am still doing). As we came into summer here in Vermont, the Climatebase Fellowship wrapped up, but the intensity of the puppy and work and family and everything else continued. And then a very cool opportunity was presented to me at the Internet Society we had . Back in July she approached me about taking on a new role that we eventually called CEO communications where Im helping with developing and executing plans across both the Internet Society and Internet Society Foundation for consistent communication from the CEOs office internally, externally, and with our community and partners. I formally took on this role on September 1 (and later) but began some aspects of it back in August. Ive known Sally for the 13 years that Ive been at the Internet Society (shes been there 15 years) and have deep and great respect for her. So Ive been excited about the new role, grateful for this opportunity to stretch my own skills in new and different ways and just busy! And now on this 24th day of September its time to get back in the flow again and start creating some content again. There are so many stories to tell so many changes happening so much ahead on the horizon both icebergs to avoid and opportunities to explore! Time to climb up into that crows nest, whip out the spyglass, and get back to looking out ahead at the horizon and sharing what I see! See you soon! The End Recent Posts and Podcasts Here is some of the content Ive published and produced recently on my personal sites: I do still contribute reports to the monthly episodes of t. I did publish some new posts for the Internet Society (who has no connection to this newsletter): More on why so many of them are law-related in a future newsletter! Thanks for reading to the end.
