Just two things to think about today. What has the PKM/Zettelkasten movement produced? Excellent article questioning what the PKM movement and tools have produced. This point struck me hard. There's a whole subgenre of books about PKM...
Here's my updated Tier List for Hawkman/Hawkgirl comics. The top five series are absolutely essential for comics fans. The stories and the art are top-notch. The best of the best. The A-ranked series are also very good, and I definitely...
EPQ Project What it is This project was completed for my Extended Project Equalification (also known as EPQ). During the EPQ, a student will pick a subject of their choice, research it and then either write a paper or create a piece of...

Possibly my all-time favorite garlic scape recipe, this simple salsa comes together lightning fast and can be canned for use throughout the year. With only a handful of ingredients you can tweak with what you have on hand, it's a great...
This isn't a blog entry I wanted to write, but it's a necessary one: a statement about the use of generative large language models (colloquially "AI") in my work. I do not use LLMs in my work. I don't use them in my non-work life either,...
