Since COVID, I've been teaching the tech comm service course online, but returning to in-person this fall (for reasons). I need ideas for a super-engaging day 1 activity to get students social. Anyone have any great ideas?

On Friday, I got promoted to full Professor. Today, got a paper rejected, and the first thing reviewer 2 said about the paper was that "In academic writing, the use of short forms of words such as "we've" are not allowed." 😂

Stay humble!

Today someone called my office phone while I was in my office. This marks the second time that has happened in the past 12 years.

I'm sort of fascinated (aka appalled) at what the AI slop that comes at the top of each Google search does to screen real estate. Slop + Sponsored links + then eventually legitimate links and what the potential impact is (1/2)

I woke up today realizing that SIGDOC proposals are due next week. Feels early this year! Need to figure out which of my projects has something ready to share. Who else is proposing?

Have a huge pile of grading, so of course feeling extra motivated to write instead.

This is definitely the feeling of 2024 academia in the US
Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.

Made a bit of progress on the book project, spent 5 hours in Zoom faculty meetings, and have about 80 things to grade, but not a bad way to end the last week of the quarter.
