I'm pretty sure I broke some basic "best practice" of podcasting by spending 5 minutes gushing about someone else's show (hey @brendanomeara.bsky.social), but it's my show, I do what I want. And @tracyslater.bsky.social was so great! Listen now.

Finally, Zotero has 'Dark Mode.' Now I can do Evil Citations.

My colleagues tell me that our LMS now doesn’t always allow you to make your own assignments and instead makes you “choose” AI. 😐 for selfish reasons I’ve never been gladder than I don’t do quizzes or LMS based exams. It’s a choice I recognize given when I teach. But still.

Thinking wistfully about sending a proposal to the ESEH 2025 meeting hoping I could attend in person. Instead I now get to zoom in at 5 am on Wednesday for my roundtable. And maybe catch some other panels. The vicarious life of an immigrant academic. eseh2025.com

Tried to take the bus to the library instead of cycling or driving. Took me over AN hour to traverse 5 kms thanks to road work and the bus running at least 15 mins late each way. On the way back it was so late I had to take one of them scooters. Oy. Not sure which was worse. Lesson learned: bicycle!
