I had a joke about Sophie Germain, but no one believed I wrote it.

I had a joke about Theseus, but I rewrote it too many times and itโ€™s just not the same.

argh! Beginning of day foiled by Traffic Light of Deathโ„ข.

Don't worry, no one died.

But it's only a matter of time.

Looking at you Snelling and Hoyt! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Big excitement in the house just now as an ad for โ€œhow did you count?โ€ came across spouses Facebook feed for the first time. (In case youโ€™re not keeping score, she is decidedly not on any of the mathier forums in any space, so this was a big deal)

On this note, in case anyone needs it, I am sharing again my little book โ€œWhat I Noticed Along the Wayโ€ of 196 observations across one year: drive.google.com/file/d/1w0zL...

Four paired images. Each pair consists of (1) a photograph of a pattern drawn in sand on a rotating disk, and (2) a graph showing a close approximation the sand pattern, rendered digitally on a grid of polar coordinates. From left to right, the patterns are (1) circle centered at the origin, (2) circle, off center from the origin, (3) linearly growing spiral, and (4) linearly growing spiral, but the path is more star-shaped and jaggedy than circular, and having seven "points" on the star.

"Hey Christopher!" they say. "Math On-A-Stick is great fun and all, but what does it have to do with school math?"

To be clear, I am still HIGHLY distractable. It's not like a whole new Triangleman over here.

After a topsy-turvy November (and Mayโ€“October if we're being honest), I am back to writing this morning. It feels really good.

Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Twin Cities: ICE is out terrorizing people. Please be aware. If you see them, call 612-441-2881 and then pull out your phone to record. Comply if they tell you to step aside but keep recording. You are legally allowed to film them.
