Day 60


Day 60 (2nd November)

Did something interesting in today’s lecture. Asked the class to look up a website on their smartphones and use the information provided there to solve a problem. It was a last-minute improvisation and went down well with the students.
The draft brochure of a workshop I am planning in January has been sent for my approval. My mind is not on it. I am probably experiencing MAMI withdrawal syndrome.

Day 93

Day 93 (30 th September) The day was consumed in preparing for tomorrow’s class, always a learning experience. Ryder Cup action played out in the background. I look for new things to present and new ways of presenting old things. I have complete autonomy in that I don’t have to follow any set syllabus or a prescribed textbook. Identifying and locating information is the easy part. Presenting them in a lucid way is the challenging part. Sometimes the presentation just assembles itself intuitively.

Day11

Day 11 (21st December)  Mailed the AI column. Looking for a title. Asked twitter, but got no response. I have couple of ideas in mind and will choose one.  Received a proper consulting request. Well more or less. Responded tersely because I am not desperate. Meeting with good friend at a bar that serves exotic craft beers. The place was overrun by women in early 40s celebrating silver jubilee of their class reunion. Almost all of them were surprisingly trim.
