#3GoodThings

1. Got the car battery replaced.
2. Wingspan, with a chaser of Go Nuts for Donuts, on Board Game Arena.
3. The anticipation of snow.

Working programs are all alike; every broken program is broken in its own way.

At least, that's how it should be. When multiple students submit solutions that take the same strange, nonworking approach, I get suspicious.

Pro tip for students: I'm not giving you these assignments because I want more copies of the solution. Struggling with them is how you learn.

If #Violet were any lazier a quick brown fox would jump over her. #DogsOfMastodon

@htdrake, reading from Wingspan card: "Kestrels track rodents by their urine, and will cache surplus kills for later."

Me: Mood.

Timeline (especially federated) updating so fast you can't scroll through it? Turn on slow mode.

#3GoodThings

1. Canada geese in formation.
2. Wingspan Asia arrived.
3. A long walk with #Violet.

This is a modern game night (Scythe is being played), but somebody asked me to play Risk and then somebody else asked me to play Monopoly. I suspect it's some kind of bet or dare. #BoardGames

I'm teaching four college students to play the Fast & Furious: Highway Heist board game and none of them have seen any of the movies.

I try to review my journals at the end of each month and year, but it's been a rough semester.

I'm using a version of #ungrading where students meet with me to tell me what grade they deserve and why. I reserve the right to override this, but usually don't have to.

Many of them are quite nervous about this. It strikes me that this is good practice for asking for promotions and raises.
