@JamesGunn IDK if it’s in the movie or just the trailer, but I couldn’t think of a better track to culminate the GOTG series than Spacehog’s “In The Meantime”. IMO, the greatest track of the 90s (esp. with the PCO sample). This trailer nearly brought me to tears. Awesome, @JamesGunn 🤙🏼🚀

@BrianWTimm @MiaLMorrison @pgliljedahl You too, Brian! Here’s hoping for in-person again sometime soon!

@BrianWTimm @MiaLMorrison @pgliljedahl Saw it mentioned at least once already, but I like the Team Shake app. You can simply push a button to randomize groups, but even my seniors still get a weird kick out of the fact that you can also literally *shake* the device to randomize too. Kinda fun. 👍🏼

@WhittMister @AppleEDU Super cool! 3D printing FTW! I’d love to see what you come up with. Maybe even some solution that encases all those tiny female/female adapters for Gen1 APs? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be elegant, in true Whitt fashion. 🤙🏼

@snapshoted @cinehead @annfriedman @ELLEmagazine Love this, @cinehead. Contentedness over conquering? American blasphemy!

23 years later, and still one of my most prized possessions. You have to look closely, but @alyankovic is on there. 😁 The Saga Begins era, I believe. By the way Al, standing invite to our house for dinner for Twinkie wiener sandwiches! Expires never. Two islands over. 🤙🏼🌴🌺

@JamiroquaiHQ I show this every year to my Physics students when we cover relative motion!

Innovative educators - Join us at Apple’s 3rd annual #FestivalofLearning, July 11-21. On 07/20 I will be presenting a session alongside two educators I highly admire: @FelecityTreptow and @cinehead. Come learn something new and then share it with others! https://t.co/A6amnDCmL3

@LaurelCoons As a veteran teacher, there’s nothing more thrilling than a student bringing a perspective that I hadn’t considered. I love when students give me epiphanies. But for some teachers, this may be threatening. It needs to be all right for the teacher to occasionally be wrong.

Oh, Banzai Pipeline physics graffiti artist. SO close. A valiant effort, nonetheless. #iteachphysics

@PaulHamilton8 Agree, Paul. Been learning RhinoCAD this summer. Tutorials are so much more meaningful when you have some existing context for what you want to learn - especially when there is a tiny bit of frustration involved. (Possible application to the classroom?)

Neighbor Casey came over and shared some dragonfruit that she grew on her back lanai. Can’t wait to try it! Mahalo Casey! #HI_Life https://t.co/fnvb3PNciF

Waiting for some tasty grindz at Kono’s. Can’t spell Kono’s without ‘ono. Yumm! 😋 @konosnorthshore @ Haleiwa, Hawaii https://t.co/IAnr7blWXc

@courosa I use Cat6 for all my new runs now, but then, nothing is 100% future-proof. If I were building my house again (and I could afford the extra expense), I’d run separate conduit run from room, which would allow for removal and re-fishing of new cable in the future. But for now, 6.
