A cat and a dachshund lying on a blanket on someone’s lap, sniffing each others’ faces.
Happy Saturday (and Pi day!) from some snuggly pets 😸🐶
Paper. Blackboard also has question banks but I can’t export them.
Can anyone recommend a tool to pull a random set of multiple choice questions from different question banks to create an exam? (Ex: take three questions each from these five lectures and randomize them). Doing this manually for each exam is getting time consuming 😓

Star was so displeased to be out in the snow that she did her business and hurried home from her walk as quickly as she could 😆

Final snow accumulation in Rhode Island is approximately two dachshunds. Star for scale ☃️🐕
Weather update from Rhode Island: we have half a dachshund’s worth of snow already 🐶❄️

It’s so rude that I have to go contribute to capitalism today instead of just snuggling this dog.

How’s everyone’s semester prep going? This is how I’m doing 😸

A cat and dog snuggled up on a couch together
Oh, they get along excellently. Star is very low energy and just likes to snuggle all day. Thea doesn’t mind dogs as long as they don’t chase her, and Star likes Thea because she isn’t going to try to jump on her and play. Win win. This is how they spend most of their time:

So glad we got these dog things specifically for our dog 😸🐶

Since everyone could use a timeline cleanse, I don’t think I’ve introduced our newest family member to Bluesky: meet Star! A 5-year-old dachshund we adopted last August. Her favorite pastimes are cuddling and walks in the woods, and we’re still working on the concept that not all humans are scary.
Happy to share that Pavel @drbaconsky.bsky.social can now be the kangaroo dad he was always meant to be. Merry Christmas! 🎄

We woke up to the news that the person of interest in the Brown shooting is in custody, with the juxtaposition of a very serene inch of snow that had fallen overnight. What a world we live in.
The area around Brown University is still in shelter in place. Pavel and I are ok and safe at home.
…use it appropriately, but it’s hard to keep up with everything being developed in the AI world. I think of it like sex education: students are going to use AI anyway, so it’s best to give them the tools to use it responsibly. Banning it outright is not very effective.
This hasn’t come up a ton in lab work yet (except for the coding examples others have mentioned), but for class, my AI policy is roughly “use it to summarize and organize information, but NOT for idea generation.” I’m still working on practical examples to help students navigate it in class and…

The world is 110% on fire and everything is terrible, but I’m happy to report that the undercut is BACK with a vengeance! Very excited to have much less hair this summer and have one less thing to deal with 😄

If I ever needed a metric for how much I gesture during lectures, apparently my Garmin auto-recorded my lectures as swims today 🤣

There is ALWAYS time to pet the Feline Overlord 😸
For the first time ever, I’ve finished *all* of my class syllabi INCLUDING the schedule and readings earlier than the night before classes start. Please clap.
Are my slides ready? No. Am I emotionally prepared to start classes the day after the inauguration? Also no. Small wins only 😅

If anyone needs me I’ll be lounging here while Thea watches cat tv from my lap all day 😸
