Instead of textbook problems, the students were challenged to predict the mass of a shiny metal sphere using what they learned in the SHO lab. The images show the progress of the activity. #iteachphysics #PhysicsEd #PhysicsChat #Feezya

Haven't used my backpack since December of 2021 so cleaned it out and restocked it in prep for my first in-person conference in three years.

I got these SI challenge coins from Peter Mohr at an AAPT meeting in, I think, Atlanta.

The word for today is…schadenfreude. 😬😏😈

Honestly, I’m not at all comfortable with all these third party apps and services AAPT is using. Creating new accounts with entities I’m not familiar with makes me uneasy. Is our data safe? I don’t like this.

I’m happy to share that, as of Tuesday, I’m starting my term as Vice President at American Association of Physics Teachers - AAPT (while continuing in my other roles). Happy to chat with you, anytime! #ITeachPhysics

Was at Powell's Books earlier today and saw a lone hardback copy of Arnold Arons’ blue book, Teaching Introductory Physics. Someone at #AAPTWM23 had better give it a home! #ITeachPhysics

“There’s a QR code for that!” #AAPTWM23

Chapter 3 of David Oliver’s The Shaggy Steed of Physics (Springer, 1994), esp pp. 24-26, is breathtakingly enlightening. #ITeachPhysics

So #AAPTWM23 didn’t really end when I left the hotel because Renee Lathrop and I shared an Uber to the airport and we ran into both The Physics Show and Tweet Peasant Sterlace and kept the groove going.

Remember to delete your account from that shady ID.me “service” or whatever it may be. Fortunately I read the TOS and refused to give them anything other than my email address.

I truly understand the need for stability, but I really Really REALLY wish Overleaf had an OPTION for using an up-to-date TeX Live distribution with all package updates. It would help with package development A LOT. Future option perhaps?

Just heard third party clients are now banned on Twitter. When the one I’m using stops working, and since I don’t permit ads on my devices, I won’t be posting here any more. I’m on Mastodon as @[email protected] and @[email protected]. Hit me up!

Boo! Just checking in.
