If you have a manuscript ready to submit to a peer reviewed journal in Public Administration, I’m willing to give it a collegial review before you submit to the journal. Practitioners are especially welcome. I’ll recuse myself if it comes to a journal I edit or review for. #PeerReview #PublicAdministration

I wrote a blog entry riffing on a great blog entry @willguv wrote a couple of days ago. https://waldo.jaquith.org/blog/2026/03/better-collaboration/
How to foster better collaboration.

Successful government software projects have created an environment in which the team can collaborate successfully. No amount of procurement, budgeting, or oversight changes will bring that about.

In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done. Messy source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs.

Inspired by authors like @pluralistic , I started tracking how many words I add to my book each day. Today I researched and edited, and wound up with 9 fewer words than yesterday.

The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. Every code tutorial. Every design tutorial. Nobody actually writes out a guide anymore. It's just "hey guys welcome to my tutorial" and watching 10 minutes of content that isn't remotely relevant...
