I hope you're able to get out and see the eclipse today.

I was not in a place where there was 100% totality,

but it was still freaking amazing.

It was just incredible to see.

I'm so grateful that the universe chooses every once in a while to show

us its party tricks this is one of the best ones that it has. I'm also grateful that science

tells us when to expect it and how to protect our eyes so we don't

all blind ourselves staring at it. It was just fantastic. So it feels just amazing

to be able to see these things. A fantastic reminder that we are all, you know,

we are all infinitesable blips in this huge universe. But also that we are part of something that is

unimaginably huge, something that is bigger than the world. It's such a great thing.

That said I do feel like between the

northeast and New York City getting this big rare earthquake and the

eclipse and Mount Etna starting earthquake and the eclipse

Mount Etna starting to blow perfect smoke rings

this weekend, I feel, between all of those things happening

in very close proximity.

I'm a little topped up on the universe's party tricks showing off.

It's just a lot in close succession so I'm ready to go back to boring now.

In today's news here's something that is less of a party trick, more of a dirty trick.

Have you ever heard the term spoofing?

People can use hacking techniques or they can buy software that spoofs their phone number.
