Revenge of the Sixths

This week's Graphical History Tour ventures once again into the Bergetoon vaults to haul up the stuff I was drawing about forty, thirty, twe...

I'm very excited to be starting a visiting position in the computer science department at St. Olaf College this autumn!

In addition to an introductory programming course ("CS1", as people in CS ed say), I'll be teaching two upper-division courses: Foundations of AI, and Ethics in Software Design. I've never taught either of those, but am very excited about them. Do *you* have any idea of what Kids These Days should know about either of those topics?

I do have the summer free -- I'm open to volunteering, or something temporary. I'm contemplating something that would, in a way, prepare me for teaching both of the courses above: some kind of job labeling AI training data.

I feel one of the most privileged things I've been able to do is attend school (College/University) here and even though I'm not really religious nowadays, this time of year always reminds me of how much my Dad loved attending Christmas Fest with me every year.

No idea when I last did this, but it is very fun! ⛄️❄️🌨️ #Olaf #StOlaf

But are you getting it? Really getting it...?

Here's another 80s covers mix to celebrate my upcoming 35th St. Olaf College reunion (1989 to be exact), covering a diverse range of styles — pop, new wavy, big band, alternative, blues, synthwave, bossa nova, bluegrass, and Tom Jones (it's a coup just to get him!!!). #89oles #stolaf1989 #stolaf #80s #80smusic

This weekend, our #ice #car challenge ended for the season! The Fjord Fjalcon fell completely through the melted ice!

Congrats Brent Derwoordt for correctly guessing today's date. She's all yours once you dig her out of the lake!!

Appears that alert custodians helped avert a mass shooting plot at #stolaf. Now how long until the gun fetishists come out with the “owning high capacity assault weapons and detailing targets and escape routes is not a crime” excuse?

Been working on watching #GoldenGirls and I just have one question: Has anyone tried Rose's recipes, etc? She just mentioned wearing a white flannel wedding gown... with feet. Earlier in the episode, apparently fish tied to the wedding car instead of tin cans helps you find where to live. Of course, it was an outdoor wedding in Minnesota in February. #StOlaf #television

watching the #StOlaf #christmas fest and my head is *exploding!*

because…

everyone in the audience is wearing a #mask, all the #choir members are wearing #masks, and the #orchestra is #masking when not actively playing their #WindInstruments.

it’s so unbelievable… i can’t look away!

none of the #voices sound compromised, nor does the #musical score.

i could cry tears of #joy… seeing this… while #CovidIsNotOver.
