Academics: A CV and resume are completely different things.

Got a revise and resubmit with minor revisions on a journal article today. Excited to get this one out in the world. I wrote the paper for a Ph.D. class a couple of years ago, presented it at a conference and then improved the paper. Happy with how it’s turned out.

Posts in the “Then” category were originally shared on my “Now” page. This week was a little more relaxed than the last few. I took Friday off and spent some time working on projects. The weeknights were busy, and our middle child had driving lessons on Saturday and Sunday. Next week looks to be reasonable. Humorously, I wrote, but forgot to upload, my Now page from last week. I’m trying to use this as a weekly journal.
Today was my 10th race watching F1. I started with the Canadian Grand Prix. Since then, we’ve had 7 winners from 4 different teams. I think I picked the right time to start watching. What a fun sport. I’m hooked.

Posts in the “Then” category were originally shared on my “Now” page. A very busy week. I had a significant work event on Wednesday, and needed to help my daughter with some of her homework in the evenings during the week. Completely wrecked my sleep schedule. Need to be better about going to bed at a reasonable hour. I feel it when I don’t get enough sleep. The week ahead looks a little more typical… which is still relatively busy with classes, lacrosse and homework.
Blind copying people on emails is silly. There is really no good reason to do it.

Posts in the “Then” category were originally shared on my “Now” page. A draining week and weekend. Not bad, but exhausting. I almost forgot to post my weekly update. We celebrated Jill’s 17th birthday this weekend. (Her actual birthday is next week.) It was wonderful, but involved getting the house ready for guests. Balancing that with classwork, work, lacrosse starting back up for Ryan. It’s Sunday afternoon and I feel like I am running out of time.
ESPN is bringing Gameday to Columbia next weekend for South Carolina and LSU. Campus is going to be busy this week.
Great win for my Gamecocks today against Kentucky. The defense looks stout, even if the offense is a work in progress.
So I shipped a typeface a few months ago. And then today, I came across a new release with exactly the same name. I did all the searches I could do and thought it was in the clear. I’m sure they did the same… but it’s still a little disappointing.
Cooking some turkey breasts on my Weber Kettle tonight. I know it’s old school cooking with charcoal, but I really enjoy the process.

Posts in the “Then” category were originally shared on my “Now” page. I had an up and down week. Some good days, but I also had one of those days that was terrible from start to finish. Really thankful for the long Labor Day weekend. I’m going to start updating the Now page on Sunday. Feels We had cooler weather last week, but then it’s hot again. Really, really reading for the cooler weather to return.
Today was terrible. Start to finish. Just rough. Tomorrow is a new day, but today’s going to stick with me.
Trying to troubleshoot cross posting to Threads from Micro.Blog. Was working fine… and then it wasn’t.
Because of an accident on the interstate, took the LONG way to work this morning, all back roads through the country. Including several roads that I never knew connected to each other. I made it to work eventually.
Hey @manton. FYI: Something is broken with Threads crossposting. I’m getting a “Threads: Error creating media container.” error in the logs when something tries to crosspost. (And Bluesky is working fine, so I don’t think it’s an issue with the post.) Happened a couple of times.
The For-Profit City That Might Come Crashing Down:
“We’re not crooks,” he told me. “We’re just guys trying to get something good done.” He said he was inspired to help found Próspera after reading Machiavelli’s writings on the impossibility of reforming a system from within.
A movement inspired by renowned do-gooder, Machiavelli. What could go wrong?
The Red Lobster near me has closed, and I’m kinda sad.
Red Lobster has been struggling through financial troubles for a while and the chain is the process of being sold. Today, they announced that the location closest to me in Cayce, South Carolina has closed. I’ve eaten at that Red Lobster once in the last five years and it was an unmitigated disaster. We waited forever for a table and the food wasn’t great. But my grandparents and parents loved Red Lobster.
Papaya ≠ Orange?
My daughter has gotten us all into F1. Jill’s become a hard core McLaren fan. My wife seems to have settled into cheering for George Russell and Mercedes. Ryan is a Max Verstappen fan. As for me, I tend to be pulling for McLaren. Which causes a problem. Their color is papaya… which is orange. I don’t do orange. As a South Carolina Gamecocks fan, orange is the color of all of our rivals… from in-state Clemson to SEC foes Florida and Tennessee.

Posts in the “Then” category were originally shared on my “Now” page. The start to the school year continues. I had my first grad school class of the semester this week. Looking forward to learning more about qualitative methods. Liz starts her Ph.D. class this week and the kids' school is in full swing. Feels Tired. After the summer, getting back into a routine has been tough. Waking up earlier.
