“A good snow transforms the land into a mathematically smooth manifold where gradients, slopes, and level curves come to life.” — someone I can’t seem to find now

Boo! Just checking in.

Just heard third party clients are now banned on Twitter. When the one I’m using stops working, and since I don’t permit ads on my devices, I won’t be posting here any more. I’m on Mastodon as @heafnerj@scholar.social and @heafnerj@mstdn.social. Hit me up!

@SJDJ I was going to suggest Bra and Ket then I thought better.

I truly understand the need for stability, but I really Really REALLY wish @overleaf had an OPTION for using an up-to-date TeX Live distribution with all package updates. It would help with package development A LOT. Future option perhaps?

@coachxcpayne @Powells I considered buying it and just giving it to someone at the conference. Maybe next time.

@LCTTA @Powells As do I! Brilliant reference material!

Was at @Powells earlier today and saw a lone hardback copy of Arnold Arons’ blue book, Teaching Introductory Physics. Someone at #AAPTWM23 had better give it a home! #ITeachPhysics

@msruggerio @ThePhysicsShow @sterlace @MQMLab and Andy Gavrin (and two others from AAPT whom I didn’t know) were on my plane to Chicago and I think I freaked Andy out when I called him by name. He didn’t recognize/remember me. 😂

So #AAPTWM23 didn’t really end when I left the hotel because Renee Lathrop and I shared an Uber to the airport and we ran into both @ThePhysicsShow and @sterlace and kept the groove going.

@coachxcpayne @Powells I hope someone bought it.

@LCTTA @Powells Might have to get over there before I leave! I've got my copy of Arons at school, otherwise...

@KarimDiff @Powells I hope someone bought it.

@LCTTA @Powells Saw it too! 😂

@msruggerio @ThePhysicsShow @sterlace We’re out there…in more ways than one. 😏

Remember to delete your account from that shady ID.me “service” or whatever it may be. Fortunately I read the TOS and refused to give them anything other than my email address.

@MusumbaTony I must be slipping because it didn’t occur to me to take any.

Where are the photos?

@caithuls When you get right down to it, overnight oats is really just organic mortar.

Overnight Oats sounds like the name of a racehorse who sucks

Chapter 3 of David Oliver’s The Shaggy Steed of Physics (Springer, 1994), esp pp. 24-26, is breathtakingly enlightening. #ITeachPhysics

“There’s a QR code for that!” #AAPTWM23

I’m happy to share that, as of Tuesday, I’m starting my term as Vice President at American Association of Physics Teachers - AAPT (while continuing in my other roles). Happy to chat with you, anytime! #ITeachPhysics

@msruggerio @fpoodry If it were a city I would move there. 😏

@AAPTHQ To follow up, the situation has been resolved. Thank you!

Okay @AAPTHQ I do not like the terms of this ID.me service at all. I’m NOT giving them my phone number. I’m also hesitant to provide photos of my driver’s license or passport. They want access to my credit profile too?!? No. Sorry. Not happening.

@MBurnsKaurin To verify our identities when we submit our covid status. We knew we would have to do that but we didn’t know just how until this past Friday. I didn’t know it would be this intrusive. Their fine print reads like an ad agency.

@LCTTA @AAPTHQ What for? I had to use it years ago for some govt thing, why AAPT???
