I recognize that dog from my time in Japan. It’s アフロ犬!

I’ve been to Lubee! What a wonderful experience seeing how the bats interact with their enrichment! We even took home a painting created by some of the bats living there.

It looks like the educational website Kahoot. As a teacher, I hoped this was some open source version of it that I might more easily catch the cheating students in my classes.

My family was about to walk into a Target in south Florida when two police cars, driving much faster than was safe for a parking lot, pulled up to the front doors. Their lights were off, but my wife and I made eye contact and turned our kids around.

Generally speaking, officers of the law exceeding the speed limit is always a “avoid this area” signal for me.

I’m so happy this is getting released! I hated the idea that they had shelved it as a financial loss for a tax break.

They Might Be Giants

I wanted to see the original post in my feed, so here’s the link if anyone else wants to reblog.

I use https://www.justtherecipe.com/ to strip out the stories.

One of the things Florida has banned this year is a reading tracker app called Beanstack. The commissioner of education sent a letter to all superintendents of schools (at the county level) directing them to share it with all staff and parents.

Florida says Beanstack gives children access to inappropriate material. I’ve used it to track summer reading for myself and my family. All it does is record reading and completion for books you enter. If you scan a book Florida considers inappropriate, you already have the book.

There was this awesome cooperative programming game called Leap Day from SpryFox. You would login and set up your automated citizens, collecting items, combining items, items with people in neighboring sections to defeat a boss in the middle, but the boss could only be completed by using items from your neighbors. Over time you would gain money for items you brought back to your base and every minute the day on it would resent and everyone go out and collect the same items again. You would have to build and rebuild your area to make enough factories to develop what you needed. I don’t think I’m it justice. I miss it all the time.
