Yesterday I submitted my MA Final Project, a long-form journalistic exploration of endometriosis and women’s football. This is a piece of work I am incredibly proud of, and a matter I couldn’t be more passionate about 🌻

I just signed up for the print version of Works in Progress. I wasn't familiar with the online publication so I visited the site to read some existing stories. I'm very happy with what I saw.

So we have the radiologist’s update on Castiel, and… It could be a lot better. We’re looking at another night of hospitalization, and at least a month of medical recovery. So I have bowed to the inevitable, and set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs. 😔🙏🏼🐈‍⬛ www.gofundme.com/f/help-casti...

Five things to fight the doomscroll: 1. Playing a fun board game where you try to win but don't care if you lose. 2. Hearing a friend or partner's story you haven't heard before. 3. Playing with an adorable kitten. 4. Reading one of your own happy journal entries. 5. Creating accidental art.

Professor Nooney's book The Apple II Age is an outstanding review of the personal computer's early days and how the Apple ][ took on its leading role.

I took a couple of weeks off from posting new YouTube videos at the end of August, but I'm back this week with another Traveling Salesman Problem video. This time, I extend the multiple-driver scenario by assigning each driver a different cost per mile. youtu.be/tHzTjygFrfc

Not every constraint added to a Solver model leads to a better solution. In this video, I'll show one way that a well-intended constraint can result in a worse solution for two drivers who deliver products for a company.
