Episode 44 - Promotion

So, I am now (ok not officially until July 1) a full professor.  I thought I'd explain a bit as to what that actually means.  

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Episode 43 - Next

Well, we're in the midst of a pandemic.

Also, I broke my leg.

So, I didn't get to give my little farewell speech to my classes.  Our academic Dean suggested I podcast my speech.  Done.

Episode 42 - Yooper

So we just got back from visiting Mike and Chris Musiel.

On the first night Mike and I (mostly Mike.....) went and installed some sort of microwave wifi access points.  At 10 pm.  In the dark.  In a park.   We did this (again, mostly Mike, I held a flashlight and asked dumb questions) because there was an event coming up in the park the next day.

You can see Mike doing this in the accompanying picture.  I was asking dumb questions.  I thought hell, let's record them!

Episode 41 - Ken

Wow, I haven't done one of these in a year.

As many of you probably know, my buddy Ken Hernden, my Tangential Convergence cohost, is leaving Algoma University for a shiny new job at Queen's.

Well, today there was a thing for him and I spoke for about five mintues.  Also, I messed up the scene Isabelle and I did.

Good luck Ken.  You will be missed.

Episode 40 - Bourdain

God damn it.

I normally don't get that bent out of shape by celebrity deaths, but Anthony Bourdain's hit me hard.  I think it was because he didn't actually seem like a celbrity, but just a guy.

Anyway, here are my thoughts.

I don't know if they are coherent or not, and frankly, I don't care.
