… about to head out this Boxing Day for a few miles. My 30+hit day is off the calendar so the 3 aday look almost significant — and let me post stuff like WOW, I figured out how to replicate my number chart on another page (tho’ I thnk I want to add […]

Technology Review says tech is widening gaps! It describes students with iPads going through math “learning” software and being totally clueless about what the questions were asking. Sigh, it just said it was “on iPads,” not what “learning software” it was using, but it’s refreshing to read about the realities. Yes *on the bike* […]

That’s happening today. I took the bus because the ride home was still lousy on Main Street… … and I wish there were an Inkscape forum. I found good tutorials but this is, like CSS et al, at that level where you have to know somebody; “click and see what happens” has too many […]

tl/dr: boring daily minutiae I re-upped the bus pass this morning rather than try to skip a month on the annual pass…. it was all of 14 this morning and the forecast says a few degrees warmer tomorrow… and I’m 179 miles away from 5000 on the year. Also, things are quieter so the lure […]

Okay, the cleaning worked out ridiculously well — to the tune of finding an unopened envelope, reluctantly opening it because … oops, yes, that was a check dated from April 2017. No, it doesn’t have to be honored. Yes, when I went down to Common Ground Food Coop and inquired… they just cut me a […]
