I started an American Rocketry Challenge team at my school this year. The students built 2 rockets. We went out to test them yesterday. We had an ejection charge failure that destroyed one rocket but the 2nd one worked very well. We'll go tinker with these (and rebuild) and do our qualifying flights in a month. #ModelRocketry#ModelRocket#maker
As a teacher and school admin, I've always been annoyed by the DSM-5 labels we apply to kids, full of D words like disorder & deficit. I finally got around to writing about it and proposing a different model:
My kid made this meme and asked me to share it on Mastodon. I think you might need to be a Kerbal Space Program nerd to understand it. #Kerbal#KerbalSpaseProgram#SpaceNerd
I trained gtp-2 on the three books in my own mystery series. Now, it's spitting out nonsense text in my writing style. My favorite so far (punctuation lightly edited):
"The interior of the master suite was dim, the floor damp with dirt and grime. A breeze blew thin on the seaweed, watching over the bay. I imagined Oakland’s port city orchards--big, wild, round and smoky. I remembered the old adage: if you can't get by without water, you can never really have anything but water."
I created this #ADHD timer web app for my kid to help him stay on track while getting dressed, doing homework, etc. It can do simple countdowns of 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. It can also do an alternating 10 minutes of study with 3 minute break timer. Also, it can hoot at you every 30 seconds because of course it can. Free to use for anyone who finds it helpful. #neurodivergent#webdev
