I need a right angle USB-C adapter or cable that will work with my iPhone's case but such an item doesn't seem to exist.
I think it would be interesting if Harvard got shut down somehow.
I just learned that in zsh I can simply type - to return to the directory I was in before changing to the current one. I LOVE THIS!
Fun fact: I can go out right now (0200 UTC) and see Capella above the NNW horizon and Vega above the NNE horizon in a straight line.
Ever notice how natural sunlght and shadows in a room can evoke emotions and feelings of comfort, security, and peace at certain times of day? #ITeachAstronomy
I continue to be amazed at the treasure trove of physics and mathematics videos I find online that address questions and issues that bothered me as both a student and instructor. I genuinely think there is a pathway to raising the bar in introductory physics courses. #ITeachPhysics
Great. Another one to take away our jobs.
I officially retired Jan. 1, 2022 so it's been a almost three and a half years and today I realized something. When I was working, my "home" was more or less just a place where I slept between classes and on weekends. It's beginning to feel more like a real home and that's kind of scary to me. Scary that it took that long to feel that way, that is.
