My mother-in-law invited me to try out the 60- year-old tape machine that belonged to my father-in-law. When I worked in radio news in the late 1980s, we were still loading reels and splicing tape, so it all came back to me pretty quickly.

My job is often to help students understand things that they aren’t good at doing yet.

A healthy respect for the free press and the institution of journalism is absolutely crucial for a healthy democracy. Media literacy matters, while a jaded “I don’t trust journalists, I do my own research” DIY attitude is easily co-opted.

About 30 years after I first saw John Speed’s 1676 map of York, today I was working on a region labeled “Z.” Or is that a “2“? There’s both an X and a 3 nearby… confusing context! A glance at the legend shows how brilliantly Speed handled the ambiguity. #usability #ux #ui #design #medieval #cartography…

Talkback session after the matinee and my brother and faculty colleagues after the evening performance. Audiences were gasping, laughing nervously, exclaiming sotto voce about “fingerprints!” and “the key!“ and “Was that *supposed* to happen?” and “This is *good*!” @thepublicpgh #dialm #understudy (We knew well in advance Carolyn would be performing yesterday.)

My project starts to get clunky while managing 1000 NPCs but I think if I split them up into groups of about 10, and only give instructions to the group leader, that will help.
