A hero of the #commons, #tomlehrer died today at the age of 97. While many of us over a certain age will remember him for his biting #politicalsatire, he should also be remembered for releasing all of his work into the #publicdomain (https://tomlehrersongs.com/disclaimer/). Responding to rumors in 1981 that he had died, he said, "I was hoping the rumors would cut down on the junk mail." Something we can all look forward to.

Congratulations to Tanja Urbancic, former dean of management and engineering at the University of Nova Gorica, for receiving the lifetime achievement award in higher education from the Ministry of Eeducation of the Republic of Slovenia. She is a founder of two important #oer programs, #OE4BW and the first accredited degree program in OER Leadership.

Bizarrely, I asked #ChatGPT to calculate how many days between two arbitrary dates. It was #OffByOne and when I challenged it, said, "I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. To calculate the number of days between today (March 10, 2023) and June 9, 2023, we can subtract the two dates. June 9, 2023 - March 10, 2023 = 91 days Therefore, there are 91 days between today and June 9, 2023.
See attached screenshot." Can't make this up. See the screenshot for the full exchange.

Took advantage of #OEweek23 to (re)join #oeglobal as an individual member. You should, too! Support free-to-use, modify-without-having-to-seek-permission-first #oer #cc educational materials.

@billyanders Your post about #JordanPoole was close to being prophetic about last night's #Warriors #Hawks game.
