We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

Thirty years ago today, I started this adventure as a professor at the Tec de Monterrey, Campus Guadalajara. 30 years of amazing students, colleagues, and memories. I look forward to even more with another semester that starts on Monday.

Mortal Thinking Wherein Audrey Watters joins me for an aspirational podcast about AI and education and being human—not in that order

You will be missed, Bruce McCurdy. I was looking forward to taking you out for lunch on my next trip to Edmonton and I waited too long. You were an example of the best of #Oilers fandom and an exemplar Edmonton citizen. Rest in peace and condolences to your family and friends.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

Donate to Ukraine’s defenders The National Bank of Ukraine has decided to open a special fundraising account to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/

Slava Ukraini.
