A lovely little zine from zoe arrived. It was
nice to read a perzine. I’m looking forward to more con moto. Véronique has it in her new zine library!
I finished up Sed Nur Fragmento. It was a good read from beginning to end. It isn’t a timeless classic that I will certainly revisit, like Kredu Min, Sinjorino or Kiel Akvo De L’Rivero, but it was solid. I’m glad that I read one of the longer works from La Baza Legolisto. (I really gotta update that Baza Legolisto page.)
I read a sweet graphic novel biography Between two sounds : Arvo Pärt’s journey to his musical language. It was rad. I really like Pärt’s music. It was fascinating to see the music in the context of its creation, Soviet Estonia. I’m also a little shocked to learn that Pärt is still alive. Listen to this, if you’ve never heard him before: Arvo Pärt - Fratres.
Last week1, I didn’t get much writing done.
My usual writing blocks Tuesday-Thursday 13-14:00,
were mostly spent thinking about anything other than term tests.
I did a bit of string figure analysis and wrote up my findings for Keiichiro.
Hopefully, I’ll get to the Seminar article soon.
This week, I got some wonderful feedback from the editor of BISFA about my piece
Jayne in Brief.
This is piece is so close to being done.
(Right, right, I’ve been saying that forweeks)
It needs a thoughtful response to the editor and a handful of read throughs.
The fixes at this point are very minor.
I started finally hammering out some details of
MAT A02: The Magic of Numbers.
I’m taking an “assessment first” approach to building the course.
I’ve started writing up the Big List of Questions which will
be used for tutorials, term tests, and the exam.
Right now, the skeletal big list goes to Week 6 of 12.
It is nice (but a little intimidating) to build out a course from scratch.
I found someone’s lost “paper ecosystem” in a classroom.
This inspired a bit of an addendum to the post on my paper ecosystem.
If you value your notebooks, put your contact information somewhere visible!
It is really helpful when your notebook goes missing.
Keiichiro and I continue to play with Tom Storer’s Little Red Book. We got stuck interpreting two of the figures, Duck’s Feet I and Cathedral Between Two Mountains, so I made a little video of them. It continues to be a blast to play through these figures and bring them to life.
Despite my best effors, I can’t help but think about writing my own multiple choice questions management database thing. A bit of quick Google-ing doesn’t turn up any prior work.
If you write weeknotes, I feel like we’re already almost friends because of the format, the commitment, and the humility. Weeknoters are loggers, not always bloggers. — What is it about people who write Weeknotes? - Twelvety
The tense on this post is going to be a total mess, because it covers two weeks. Please forgive me. ↩︎
