In this email newsletter, I share my writing for young people or anyone who is curious. I’ve covered AI and robotics, energy technology, the search for alien life, walks in the woods, and more. What ties all my work together? I write about things that make me say “wow!”
The biggest wow! I experienced recently was a total solar eclipse.
We watched it from a rock outcrop at lake Champlain in Vermont. I didn’t take any photos during totality because I just wanted to experience the moment. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about it.
The purple-gray color of the sky, the magenta sunset, the surreal ring of glowing light. So I decided to paint it from memory.
April 8, 2024 also happened to be my birthday. I’d been waiting since I was a little kid for this extra-special gift from the solar system. And it was totally worth the wait.
