It was a privilege to write an article for the Times Higher Education THE-Campus on steps to teaching a college course for the first time. Robert Sanford and I dive more into this subject in our recent book, The Contingent Professor: Advice for Adjuncts. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/teach...

First few episodes of Andor S2 I was like - oh no what did they do? Last few episodes I’m like - oh no they just did that. I still have love for Empire but wow Andor/Rebel One are all you need to love SW.

My energy efficiency book from 2019 was sprinkled with em dashes. I'm pretty sure I used to fight with MS Word because I liked to use the double dash -- and it would replace it with the em dash. I finally accepted it. I am AI (?)

It's official! The Contingent Professor: Advice for Adjuncts is available at all online sellers. Amazon has it on Kindle & Paperback. I'm relieved to have this one come out. Writing and revising was a cathartic experience now that I'm post-academic. Time for game dev! #AcademicSky #EduSky #HigherEd

Jinhao 51A #fountainpen can be purchased at all upscale (better said, cheap) pen sites. Creatively named after the iconic Parker 51, it features a hooded nib, most likely EF. Noodler's Saguaro is an excellent pairing. Not bad for under $5!

Is it just me or does Siri like to gaslight you with autocorrects that also pass as Freudian slips?

While mathematicians have succeeded in showing the irrationality of some numbers, such as π and e, for most other numbers it remains frustratingly hard to prove. But a new method is now allowing mathematicians to do so for a slew of important numbers. www.quantamagazine.org/rational-or-...

Got a proof of the new cards! The border around face is the correct choice but the card print is not centered. Also the 3 mil laminate coating hold fingerprints. Back to drawing board. Interesting: I inspected an UNO card & it's also not centered. They solved w/ a design trick. #TableTop #BoardGames

I'm waiting for a hard proof of my next iteration of the card component to my game. I hadn't realized that cost goes up when you specify a non-standard corner cut. These now useless 1st gen prototypes came with straight corners and I cut each one manually. Cuts are S & M. Suggestions? #Boardgames

I'm reading The Catalyst (new year's resolutions, you know) and was surprised to learn that Zappos was an ecommerce innovator especially in offering free shipping. Also, they were originally called shoesite(dot)com. If you type that into a url bar it will re-direct to Zappos.

Still not quite 10 years without William Zinsser but I often remember his influence on my writing. I'll never use "we are experiencing precipitation" when I can more clearly say "it's raining." It's also fantastic to still read him at The American Scholar. theamericanscholar.org/the-writer-w...

Slide rule candy: K&E 4053-3 10 inch. No serial number, so probably manufactured around 1920. Wood is mahogany. Not in original case but props to the era where you wore these on your belt! Also appreciate the unit conversions on back. What are Chains to Metres? #SlideRules #MathSky #Physics
