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.

Linky din is officially scroll noise. I need to pare down my follows.

Or teach it. Great advice either way!

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

Two more days until the book releases! Here's a much appreciated testimonial that made it onto the back cover! So happy that we were able to get this book published. #AcademicSky #EduSky #PhDSky

I usually post this stuff on the pseud account but I'd be remiss not to share that my new book The Contingent Professor: Advice for Adjuncts comes out on April 16! Advice for new college teachers & reflections on navigating higher ed. #AcademicSky #EduSky #HigherEd www.amazon.com/Contingent-P...

Nice. Maybe they'll add this to MA5! #MathSky

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!

Just saw this post by @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social on LinkedIn. This is an amazing shot from the moon of the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth! #space

Who doesn't love a little diffusion on a Friday? So glad to see PhET on bsky. Immediate follow. #EduSky

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

The more you think back, the more you get stuck there.

Book edits (finally) came in and they de-accented my name 💀🙃

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

why the #bills always gotta make things hard

just got a like from someone that was a mutual but now not. 🤔

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.

Need to renew my blocking skills

Just opened the work materials on a consulting gig. My eyes hurt.

game update: just placed an order for a new batch of cards with the new game name. these original prototypes with the rejected name were such an inspiration to keep going. can't wait to see the new cards in real life! #TableTop #BoardGames

Dreams are the blueprint; action is the tool that builds them.

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...

Each step forward, no matter how small, is a triumph over the pull of inaction.
