I had a bizarrely totally unexpected day. My 2nd block hellraisers, such challenging behaviors, decided to do assignments today. On a friday. Even helped one another.

Reminder that u never know. One day for no discernible reason our typically behavior problem students might show up and learn stuff.

Yep, I called mommas to PRAISE.

@gemswinc We set up our own household cloud, using this:

https://nextcloud.com/

For less technical folks, you can get it pre-installed on a device you hook up to your home network. Everything's available as long as it is connected to the internet.

There's also hosted options for people that don't want to or can't self-host.

Instead of my phone and computer backing up to Google, it backs up to the server in our basement.

Which can itself be backed up remotely, too.

Good morning from Steamer Lane

I'm going to share a few more pictures today of Iceland. I can't express how grateful and lucky I am to have visited that beautiful country with my family.

The Orangeburg Massacre: A Tragic Chapter in the Civil Rights Movement

November 15th, 1968, marks a somber anniversary in the struggle for racial equality in the United States. On this day, the Orangeburg Massacre took place on the campus of South Carolina State University, a historically Black college. This tragic event saw three unarmed Black students killed and 28 others injured when state highway patrolmen opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters.

Friday the 15th - 6 AM - the bobcat was back on the property a few minutes ago - it’s chilly out - 49F and 68F with winds.

This is perhaps the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

This took at a year to capture the neutrinos.

Good morning.

I'd like two large pizzas. I'm on 34th street.

@gemswinc The questions have been around longer than the solutions.
