In the smoking ruins of what used to be a fairly useful website to learn about new books, meet fun designers, educators and/or engineers, & publicize good research stands @blprnt with an unexpected bright spot: The Bird World Cup!!!!

@danteshepherd @InTheFumeHood “The lecturer’s practicing politics, while the grad students slowly get stoned”

@InTheFumeHood @ProfVigeant "Well I'm sure that I could be an engineer / If you would get out of my face"

CANNONBALL: "Look, Dad, aren't you proud of me, I wrote all this." (She shows sheet music for Piano Man, with Billy Joel's name crossed out to say 'music and lyrics by me'.) CANNONBALL: "And! He can't sue me because I changed the title." (She reveals new title: 'Piano Human'.)

Started reading #TheWorldWeMake today by @nkjemisin on @audible_com & A) the language and insight are sooooo sharp & good and B) @rmilesvox is, yet again, AMAZING. I’m only just out of the prologue, but I’m willing to say y’all should go buy this book!

@ProfVigeant Well, I know where she is now... Lewisburg, PA 🤣

Out and about on V.I.L.E. Business today

Positives of Twitter: - met Makers, ChemEs, Apple Distinguished Educators, KEEN folks & other engineering education advocates (& learned good stuff!) - found great books to read and heard about them direct from their authors. - had fun ex: #crayonbracket - saw breaking news

While maple gets all the applause, the correct answer to “best tree” is white oak and no I will not be taking questions at this time.

Did I just spend my lunchtime walking around campus photographing trees? Yup. Highly recommend.

@danielleponder1 @SOBs Hey @ewanmcnay - this will be a cool concert! You should go!

Shout out to @BucknellSBDC Director @stumbris for his outstanding debut as moderator of @WVIATVFM's "Keystone Edition Business" program. You are a natural on TV Steve. Nice job! tinyurl.com/2h23yadc

@skcarter @amptMN @adrianhon Lol, no edit button for me yet. “Good”!

@skcarter @amptMN I just finished reading You’ve Been Played by @adrianhon & it has some excellent contrasting examples of hood, bad, and downright *evil* gamification & game design. I recommend it!

Happy Mole Day!!

@danteshepherd @ddburkey “Ah I, just as I suspected, these are BOOTLEG copies of CEE that have been printed without the PEER REVIEW PROCESS” <“kid” pulls off rubber face mask, is revealed to be Don Visco, who flashes his “Editor” badge before dragging the perpetrator away by the scruff of their neck>

@danteshepherd @ddburkey “Hey, kid. Want some hot teaching tips?” <opens briefcase to reveal stacks of purple and chartreuse CEEs>

Look! I’m the cover of the summer issue of everyone’s favorite #ChemicalEngineering education journal: @chemenged !!!!

Thinking #Andor just might be the best Star Wars ever? Fighting words, I know.
