If you are looking for a place to be alone this weekend apparently a theatre showing the Melania movie is a good option.

I believe that the secret to being a good teacher is to love the subject matter and love students. Not necessarily in that order. #EduSky

Yep - it needs to do something that I can't do better or in the same amount of time. So far that's just making nonsense pictures! #TeamCompSci www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

Revising 2D arrays? This is quite a nice task that covers all of the scenarios that you're likely to see in the exam - and a bit of modular arithmetic into the bargain. #TeamCompSci www.101computing.net/2d-dice-grid...

Apparently, there are now sugar free Oreos available? Each cookie still has 45 calories compared to the 53 in a regular Oreo. Have any of you seen/tried these new Oreos? Still not quite diet food I guess. I want to try them anyway. You know, for research purposes.

I like to generalise when I'm teaching number bases, and writing a program to convert between bases is good revision for students. Today we brainstormed how to convert denary to any other base. #TeamCompSci console.basthon.fr?from=https:/...

I'm just going to leave this here. Someone bought the Internet domain nazis.us. it redirects to the Department of Homeland Security.

Computer Science Teacher: Binary Math–Subtracting by Adding blog.acthompson.net/2026/01/bina... #CSed

I'd forgotten that I'd even made this page, but Google is telling me that interest in it is up 225% this week. That's a niche New Year's resolution! ;-) #TeamCompSci www.advanced-ict.info/mathematics/...

I finished reading a book last night and started reading another. The problem is context switching. I need to switch my thinking from one time and place to another. Some nights it just makes sense to wait until the next day to start the new book. Anyone else or just me?

How many books is a lot to read in a year?

IF we could buy Trump for what he's really worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth we could pay off the national debt.

Who else writes computer code when they can't sleep?

Yesterday was both the shortest day of the year and the longest night of the year. Which do you think of it as? Short day or long night? I tend to think of it as the shortest day of the year. Regardless, I look forward to seeing longer days ahead.

Never more true than today. Lord, what fools these mortals be! A Midsummer Nights Dream Act 3, scene 2

Computer Science Teacher: Computer Science Education Week Greeting Cards blog.acthompson.net/2025/12/comp... #CSed #TeamCompSci #edusky

Computer Science Teacher: How Much Debugging Knowledge Do CS Teachers Need? blog.acthompson.net/2025/12/how-... #CSed #TeamCompSci

More and more, I am incredibly suspect of anyone talking about tech in education who isn't arguing for a caution, middle path. For me, the tech is still best used to help kids create, research, network and problem-solve. But kids and teachers have to do the hard thinking, not the tech.

Every so often, when I am trying to have a conversation with someone online they say "your [sic] an idiot." And then I understand that there is no hope of a rational conversation with them.

Teaching artificial intelligence - surprise! I have some thoughts. blog.acthompson.net/2025/12/are-... #CSed #AI

Unpopular opinion: Teaching prompts to AI or how to use existing AI tools and calling it teaching AI is a lot like teaching Microsoft Office and calling it teaching computer science. #AI #CSed #AI4All #TeamCompSci

I have been reading that Trump supporters are leaving Costco because Costco is suing over Trump's tariffs. I really need to get a Costco membership. Sounds like a better place to shop all the time.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Computer Science Teacher: Teaching Reading Code–More Important Than Ever I have been reading some old blog posts. I think they are relevant today. Perhaps more so. blog.acthompson.net/2025/11/teac... #CSed

One of the most important things I’ve learned about building teams is that a star player with a bad attitude can sink the entire team. It’s extremely rare that the brilliance of a “brilliant jerk” overcomes the damage that comes from them being a jerk.

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …
