Grades are submitted! Out of Office email turned on! Let the sabbatical commence!!!

Folks, I need you to weigh in on something. Ever since the pandemic I often have students Zoom in to office hours. 9 times out of 10, they have their cameras off. I, as a human being, hateeee this. I hate talking to a black box, no idea if the person on the other end is registering what I'm saying

For Indie Bookstore Day two friends and I hit up 15 local bookshops in the San Diego area in one day! Needless to say my TBR pile is only getting longer.

Happy Earth Day, Earthlings! 🌍

We've known for a while that the USA's current regime have been out for science, but I never though they would try to mess with math(s)! You can't just redefine how you calculate percentages. 1/2

"The term 'random variable' in its mathematical definition refers to neither randomness nor variability but instead is a mathematical function in which..."

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

A little update for those who watched me on @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social…yes, the New York Times did reach out!!

I got an email from a student, and they signed off with "calculators and graphs, [student name]" instead of, like, sincerely or best. And it was so sweet. ☺️

I am trying to make pdfs I've created from TeX more accessible, as per ADA Title II. So far, my pdfs seem to keep being labeled as "untagged". But I've included a header with the metadata, turned tagging on, defined the tagging setup, and used the tagpdf package. Any ideas what I'm missing???

For someone who hates grading as much as I do, I sure did pick a career with a lot of grading.

Big fan of this new puzzle from Josh Wardle (creator of Wordle!) if you love cryptics, you’ll love this too! And if you have always wanted to try cryptics but found them a bit hard to get into, this is a great introduction! www.parseword.com

Welp, my dog chewed up my Kindle. I always said my next e-reader would be non-Amazon. Anyone have experience with the Rakuten Kobo? In particular, I borrow a lot of ebooks from my local library via Libby. Do they play nice together?

Had a bit of a wildlife encounter our bedroom this morning.

We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union, will take the Complement of the Intersection of the Complements.

CSUSM is an amazing place to work, and Justin is sure to be an awesome PI!

I’ve been thinking about the vernal equinox. Mostly I realized how much later the sun seems to stay out these days, and how sudden the change felt. But it’s simple math - assuming a roughly sinusoidal pattern, the derivative is maximized halfway between the winter and summer solstices.

My dog Moose had surgery the other day (he is ok, just repairing a stomach issue and is now recovering at home) but the vet sent me this photo as an update. What an image (content warning in case seeing a dog splayed out on a surgical table isn’t what you needed today) (no blood)

After hearing DJT make fun of elite women Olympic athletes, I never want to hear the argument that they want to “protect women’s sports” ever again.

Teamsters are striking across CSU campuses this week and faculty are showing their support! Stand in solidarity.

Got an invite for a meeting that is scheduled for....three weeks? Looks like I'm gonna have to find a sub for my classes. I'm booked!

At the vet today, a nice old gentleman in the waiting room was petting my dog Moose and asked, in all sincerity, if Moose is catholic.

I am doing IRB stuff for the first time, and I gotta say...my tolerance for red tape is LOW.
