It will be harder to leave Facebook than it was to leave Twitter

It was not that hard to leave Twitter. I removed the app from my phone and followed a lot of journalists and professionals on Bluesky. I still checked Twitter on my laptop, but not every day. Then one day when X asked me for my password to log back in, I decided not to bother.…

Today I didn’t save the world, but I did help a student while power-walking at the mall.

I’m far from perfect, and injustice and suffering and tragedy in the world won’t be much affected by the story I’m about to narrate, but as I was walking in the mall with my son, I dictated a 500-word email response to a student whose paper topic didn’t work out and who asked for my…

‘People are rooting for the whale’: the strange American tradition of Moby-Dick reading marathons

When I went off to college to be an English major, my father (who passed last December at 90) told me a story about how his respected professor at Northwestern University spent a whole lecture on the seven levels of symbolism in Melville’s Moby-Dick. Being of an analytical mind and precise mind, my father copied…

It’s something to do.

Though I have marking and prep and committee work and paperwork to do, I took an hour before bed to touch up this segment of the #medievalyork city wall because research. #blender3d

Setting up high, medium and low levels of detail for this element of a city wall. #medievalyork #blender3d

Populating my simulation with a crowd. Tweaking and experimenting. #unity3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

I have more to do than mark 99 assignments, but this is a nice stopping point.

Each building in my #medievalyork simulation has four levels of detail (so that distant objects render faster). #blender3d #mysteryplay #design #cgi
