Thought on USA 250: we are approaching the half-life of democracies. And seeing signs of the decay.

Students today frustrate me with how they use AI. Just had to threaten an entire class with failure because almost everyone in the class submitted the exact same AI generated code for an assignment. Sigh.

Eight hour lecture recording marathon. Yep, the voice is indeed shot.

Here is a classic example of overpacking. But… Bubble Wrap!

Decide to go on a Sunday drive. Pretty weather right until I pull into my driveway and the deluge begins.

Preparing to teach a class that you haven’t taught in a while is a good reminder that teaching is a good way to hone your expertise in a subject.

It is interesting how a reasonable sized bowl of pozole improves the disposition.

The cycle begins again as it’s the first day of our summer term. Feeling odd as it’s the first time since Covid that I have a traditional on-campus only course.

The more I deal with IT organizations in higher education, the more I understand how they don't understand the needs of software development.

There is a lot of Sturm and Drang among educators regarding the recent security breach involving the Canvas LMS.

The Division of Mathematical, Computer, and Applied Sciences of the College of Arts and Sciences of Athens State University congratulates the Spring 2026 graduates of our CS, IT, and Cybersecurity programs. Be well, do good work, and come back and visit!

I'm supposed to respect my elders, but its getting harder and harder for me to find one.

Someone decided to sage our building to get of evil spirits. For some reason I can’t get into my office.

Been a month since I had to do a double header day in the (virtual) classroom. That’s a tough day in normal times but harder while in recovery. Made it through and… on we go.

<RANT> Sigh, sometimes I think students just think we don't read their submissions with the way they cut-and-paste from ChatGPT or Claude. They just don't realize how boilerplate that writing is, whether it's prose or code. </RANT>

What I find disturbing about the email issues on the Orion capsule? Apparently you can be an astronaut going to the moon and your boss still expects you to check your messages.
