Looking in on the officers' wardroom (conference and dining) one deck above the main bridge, on the interplanetary cruiser from the #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my now-adult children. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart

I thought of the interior as “Missisippi showboat” and the exterior as a more traditionally nautical.

The officers’ conference room, looking aft. A small reading nook to the right. The first officer’s office is through the small door.

Lovely set for @prime_stage Frankenstein. The daughter joined this cast less than a week ago. Opens tonight.

What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? @shu_hogwarts

Snape is not amused at this year's Hogwarts Feast.

The daughter joined the cast of this show a few days ago. As Safie, she sings a folk song and indirectly teaches the creature about language and belonging.

She says she got the email while at a cast party after the final performance of Pippin.

The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

The discourse around “learning styles” (the idea that because some students prefer to learn visually, orally, kinesthetically, or through reading/writing, teachers should adapt their lesson plans to meet student preferences) has been useful to me in that it helped me to realize that some methods of instructions that seemed natural to me were actually choices…

I'm not tired of @shu.pippin yet! Final performance is sold out.

Fall colors are past their peak but it's still a beautiful late October day.

My third time seeing @shu.pippin. I'll be back tomorrow for closing night.

Adobe steals your color

What a horrible situation. The Adobe monthly leases are way too expensive for a student paper that only prints a few magazines a term. The software costs more than the printing process, and about the same as the web hosting service. Just not worth the expense. We are making do with free alternatives. For people…

Media Bias Chart version 10 — Left / Center / Right; Fact vs Fabrication; (Ad Fontes Media)

The very useful “media bias chart” is one of several useful ways to classify sources of journalism. UPDATE: See the Media Bias Chart, v.11 While individual items published by any of these sources can vary considerably from the general location depicted in this chart, the takeaway message is that journalism can still be valid and…

AI-generated essays are nothing to worry about (opinion)

After reviewing 22 AI essays I asked my students to create, I can tell you confidently that AI-generated essays are nothing to worry about. The technology just isn’t there, and I doubt it will be anytime soon. […] The students in this class were mostly juniors and seniors, and many were majors in rhetoric and…

Looking forward in the back room of the officers' pub, in the #steampunk cruiser from the bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. More experiments with lighting. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #blender3dart #cgiart

Heart of Stone (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 14) Odo tries to keep Kira’s spirits up as she is slowly consumed by a crystal; Nog seeks Sisko’s help to join Starfleet

Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout, Kira bickers with a grumpy Odo. Kira: You’re right. Next time we are invited out for dinner, I’ll make sure you are the one to say no. Odo: I’d appreciate that. There’s warmth under the snark on both sides, though as usual Kira isn’t aware of how much she means…
