Well, I just about on makeup for the day and now I’m crying it all off. Kamala Harris!
baking
I have come late to the bread making stage of the pandemic. I needed an extended vacation time to de-stress enough to even want to start baking. First was multigrain loaf. Today is ficelles but they got stuck together.
@lauraritchie Thanks! I didn’t actually make the mitten though, I just fixed a hole in it through darning. You can see the spot where things are kind of uneven on the right of the image. That’s where I fixed the hole!
TIL how to darn. It’s not gorgeous, but it should hold. First darning project!
I recently started watching the Great Canadian Baking Show and it’s hard to describe how comforted it makes me feel toward the end of this awful year. More cakes! More breads! More pies!
Why does just watching them being made make me feel almost as good as making them? Strange...
@lauraritchie it’s in our parking garage thank goodness, below our living spaces. And we were able to get it fixed enough to not be too bad, until we can get a permanent fix. But my poor partner had to spend several days dealing with this (not to mention the workers who were working on a holiday!). Stuff seems to give out at inopportune times. But fortunately we’re all good for now!
B/c there’s not enough going on towards the end of this year, let’s have flooding in our parking garage in some holiday days. Yes. Sounds great. And rain starting again tomorrow. 🙄
I love that the Teaching and Learning Inquiry journal has created a Distinguished Reviewer Award to acknowledge the hard work of article peer reviewers, and that they named it after Gary Poole! https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/TLI/GP-Reviewer-Award
Tomorrow I'm doing an online workshop on Open Educational Resources and getting started revising an open textbook in Pressbooks. Sneak peek: https://wiki.ubc.ca/Sandbox:OER_Lethbridge_2020 #OER
Our son shared this interesting video by Minute Physics about why masks work better than you'd think and I learned something today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y47t9qLc9I4
And check out this great page by Aatish Bhatia on the multiplicative power of masks: https://aatishb.com/maskmath/

I hate to ask, but here goes.
I'm looking for a role as a #frontend #developer. #Contracts or #fulltime. Preferably #UK where I have previous #remote work ex from.
I've been looking a while and nothing with the right fit has come along. Work life balance is super important. If UK, happy to work completely in your timezone!
My site is https://rusingh.com and I'm happy to email you my CV/resume. Will start immediately once we're on the same page. 💯
#Boost please?
Cool idea as a way to introduce people to open education: 5 weeks of open edu challenges...activities that take 10 minutes or less. Nice! https://oechallenge.opened.ca/about-the-open-education-challenge-series/ #OER
The Uni of British Columbia recently launched a new Indigenous Strategic Plan, and I'm looking forward to working with many others at the institution on implementation of the plan. https://indigenous.ubc.ca/indigenous-engagement/indigenous-strategic-plan/
BCcampus in British Columbia is hosting a webinar Oct. 14 on "Creating Accessible #OER in Pressbooks": https://bccampus.ca/event/creating-accessible-oer-in-pressbooks/ #a11y
mh & physical health issues
In serious need of exercise for mental health but:
Don’t want to go to gym due to COVID risk
Can’t be outside very long due to air quality being awful bc of wildfire smoke...with asthma not good combo
Guess I’ll be doing laps around the kitchen island...
Got my first haircut in about 8 months yesterday. It had gotten so long an inch off hardly seems noticeable. COVID protocols strong, including only a few minutes of hair dryer (now I’m curious why a longer blow dry would be a problem when 3 mins okay).
#SummerSchool wrap-up
@cxli Yes I was...thank you for remembering and tagging me!
