However we’re not all reading from the same curriculum. I expect partial overlap with most others I meet, such as in the motel parking lot on Saturday. Her kid was graduating high school and the fam was out at the coast, celebrating, splurging on extravagances here and there. I’ve been there, in some ways. She taught me the phrase “sad brown water” (SBW) for what in some places tries passing for coffee. The motel had a better solution.
Sam just passed on another hand-me-down, the trusty Canon digital camera he used on his recent trip. He knows I carry a Lumix pretty much anywhere I go. Now that his whirlwind adventure is over (Portugal… Istanbul… Luxor…), he’s ready to hand off his special camera.
The model, as many of you know, being those teachers, is I work to support my curriculum with lots of place-based data, as well as generic pattern language. Depoe Bay was a part of that exercise, and then it was on to Springfield, home of the Simpson (of Homer — some see Homer Davenport as an influence actually).
On the pattern language front, I was yakking with two advanced teachers about the UVW namespace, one I’ve explored but not sufficiently anchored. I’m leaving it to others to clarify that content and according to David Koski, Grayham Forscutt is doing a good job (upper panel).
I have a Jupyter Notebook on the topic of UVW modules, but don’t consider myself a teacher on this one; I’m in student mode. I’m in student mode on a lot more topics than I am a teacher.
As for those unit tests, I’m passing a lot but have also broken a few. My non-tinted glasses met a twisted fate. A point of pride is taking care of my equipment. I failed in this case. Once I’m back in Portland I’ll see about another pair.
