I went DEEP on my Toxic Avenger run with the Comic Book Couples Counseling podcast, which is heading toward 25 issues with the new series. "We’ve read the first two issues, and they’re dynamite. Bors and artist Felipe Sobreiro deliver another essential Toxic Avenger story packed with genuine emotion and powerful pertinence. If you’re looking for a universe to get lost in, you must seek it out." https://www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/matt-bors-the-toxic-avenger-interv...

Some days you can buck the senior-faculty stereotypes and some days you... can't... First, I give a midterm and don't have to provide a single clarification to the class. Then, I am unable to print the sample solution (or anything else) for the grading session, so I lean on the front-desk staff to do it for me from a thumb drive. (To be fair, this is surely related to a power surge on Friday that the building is still recovering from. But still.)

The autotester for some student code still involves 10-year-old cruft from the MOOC that is doing all sorts of crazy must-never-fail-or-diverge things we really don't need. So two tests were hitting the 1-second timeout when there's no reason for them to take even 0.1 seconds. This would be a great opportunity to simplify things and rip out the stuff we don't need. I bumped the timeout to 3 seconds and it's working now.

As those of us on the quarter system finally celebrate the triumphant end of the academic year, we celebrate as only senior faculty know how: By scheduling the backlog of doctor, car, and home appointments.
