A busy Wednesday @JCCCtweet!! Shared a bit of campus with my son, here for Model UN, got some mini broccoli to grow from our Open Petal Farm sale, and enjoyed a donut to support the JC SVA chapter!

@AppleSupport so frustrated with my purchase I'm only upgrading one phone because it's already done, but the second one... Going in the trash and ordering a pixel 8 instead. Helpful staff. Useless customer support.

@TheAtlantic @kelkord I do not disagree with every thing in this article, but imho it presents a myopic view of the impact of AI on the computing workforce. This is the type of article that hurts, unnecessarily and undeservingly, an education field that is far from meeting the workforce needs.

[Perla Weaver @perlamw]

Applications are open for the 2024 Aspirations in Computing Awards. We want more Kansas and Western Missouri High School students recognized. Please share with teachers, students, parents, principals and more!! Any student with an interest in technology and computing can apply!

Beautiful weather, yummy food, fun games and great conversations at the @JCCCtweet employee picnic. Here's one my future cavaliers with an excellent balloon choice.

Quick trip to Seattle for the 2023 #AP_Conf. Thanks to the wonderful teachers who spent their day with me at the CSP workshop. CSP teachers are amazing!!! Humbled and honored!

@VivTheSciencKid @Potatopolitics Maybe we need Fahrsius... extra degree digits for precision but make freezing at 0

[Perla Weaver @perlamw]

@VivTheSciencKid Not only are they delicious but they make everything more delicious, plus they can be used as an analogy for everything in this world.

Lol to see my son's schoolwork. He likes to write notes to his teacher. This one an apology for the mess after redoing a problem... "Woopesy dasie". Phrase courtesy of my husband :)
