The slide rule is a great tool for teaching the relationships between numbers and functions. When all math is done by AI, will people learn why things work or how to make things work?

As the saying goes, “These are the problems you WANT to have.”

I haven’t spent a lot on #FountainPens because I’m happy with the experience and performance of my Pilot Metropolitan and Kaweco Sport. I have a few others, but I haven’t found a reason to get a more-expensive pen because these are so good!

Don’t ask me about #SlideRules, though. Every time I think I have all of them I need, I have an “Oh! Shiny!” moment…

Hobbies give us a happy place.

I have an #AmateurRadio license, but I have little time or interest for random conversations with random strangers. If they would talk about #SlideRules, #Linux, and Italian motorcycles, it would be more fun!

I'm past midlife, but that doesn't mean I'm past the midlife attractions.

I've a predilection for the #Linux and #SlideRules myself, and an even bigger interest in #Telescopes . But there is something to be said for Italian motorcycles.

I always told my wife I’d take my midlife dalliance in the form of an Italian motorcycle.

I think she prefers that my midlife hobbies center around #Linux and #SlideRules. 😆
