I have enjoyed my first few days trying to use micro.blog regularly. It feels good to be out of the echo chamber that is twitter.

I used to be exempt from this kind of injury and silliness but darn, my first day back at pickleball and I have to ice my knee. I can think of a lot better uses for those ice cubes!

Today’s Microblogvember word admiration made me stop and recall some of the people I admire and those who have influenced the arc of my life. Here is an archived post about Three influential teachers that shaped who I am today.

For today’s Microblogvember challenge I will engage in a little shameless self promotion. Runestone Academy has high quality interactive textbooks for Math and CS, all of have an open source license, either CC or GNUFDL. – Democratizing textbooks for the 21st century.

I’m very happy to announce that Runestone and PreTeXt have received an NSF grant for “sustainable open source ecosystems!” Read more about it on Runestone News

I must say that I cut quite a dashing figure at last night’s black light party!

I think I’m off to a good start for microblogvember.

Long wait in the middle of nowhere today. On the highway with no cell service. When we finally got to go we learned the source of the stop. We are thankful.

The journey home starts today! One night in Vegas Baby! Specifically the Las Vegas RV Resort. Probably the largest RV park we have ever stayed at and hardly a tree in site, just campers parked next to each other as far as the eye can see.
