Day at sea today. Spinning class, pickleball, and glorious time to just read. Fun science fact I learned. The distance to the horizon in km is the square root of the number of meters above the water times 3.57. So we can see about 17 km from our room

A nice addition to cruising is pickleball at sea! We just got on the ship so its too early to tell if the court will be busy. Playing on a metal floor definitely gives a different feel.

Listening to @danielpunkass and @gruber on the Talk Show, while using Chat GPT to add docstrings to a pile of undocumented Python APIs!
Runestone Academy at SIGCSE 2023. If you are in Toronto for the Technical Symposium, please stop by and say hello!

I’m happy to say that we received good news from the IRS in the mail. Runestone Academy is officially approved as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) !
Watching Minnesota United on a snowy field in mostly white kit does not make for great TV viewing! ⚽️
Having additional insulation blown into the attic today… I can hear them walking over my head. I wonder how often they misstep and come through the ceiling.
Engineering 📷
Lots of cool engineering in my life, but not always so photogenic. I really enjoyed this visit to the Vicksburg National Military park to see the USS Cairo. One of seven shallow-draft City Class river ironclads. So many interesting engineering problems to solve!
