It's amazing what you can get done through a combination of buckling down and half-assing.

#3GoodThings

1. Students somehow made several snowmen out of the half inch that fell yesterday.
2. No more Mondays this year.
3. A road blocked by construction for the last year has reopened, restoring campus topology.

|1| is an absolute unit.

Is #prolog of more than historical interest? I'm having trouble motivating my programming languages students (and, frankly, myself).

#3GoodThings

1. Snow!
2. A fire.
3. The grading backlog is tamed.

@juneg Our neighborhood ALSO had a TARDIS little free library! It was also taken out (actually burned down) by either vandals or an accident, but they're planning to replace it.

Half baked game idea:

The primary action is writing long, Regency-style sentences. (The hardcore players do it with fountain pens on parchment.) Either it's a logic puzzle where you have to meet various randomly generated structural constraints or it's a social deduction game where you need to convey secret messages to just some of the other players.

Working title is either Screed (if you're writing manifestos to be published in newspapers) or Your Humble Servant (if you're writing letters).
