Hello again. Sorry to keep plugging my work like this but I'm still on the lookout for work before July ends and if anyone could please share this, it would help so much. Alternatively, if you would like to help support me, a Ko-Fi would really help. Thank you 🙏 ☕ - ko-fi.com/kayaskosmos

100% endorse every word of the linked article. Context: I run the production department of an academic press. I know *exactly* how much it costs to produce and print academic monographs.

Many people are asking this!

I'm delighted and stunned that Esquire Magazine has included The Calculating Stars on their list of the 75 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time. It's a good list, too! It's got a mix of books that I know and love and ones that are new to me.

To quote @mentrix.bsky.social, "Tech is an opinion-driven culture." We think we're arguing from facts and logic, but we're not. I'm looking forward to her upcoming book, btw: www.oreilly.com/library/view...

For those of you who work with data divided into cohorts using e.g. age ranges and into two categories such as m/f, I created a quick YouTube video on creating cohort charts using data bar conditional formats in Excel. No need for negative numbers...just reverse the direction of the left-hand bar.

Even if all you can commit is turning up 3 times a season (and we are LITERALLY next to a central line station) to help, or to doing a few hours a week on social media, or admin, or whatever, it makes a difference. So if you like the sound of making a difference, reach out by DM. 👍

Top level women's football can't just be the same names as the men's game. That's not equality, it's absorption. But it's only through help and support from volunteers that we can compete with the financial doping they do in the game. Whether on matchday, socials or roles like treasurer.

Through my company, my wife and I have sponsored London Seaward since the 2022/23 season, continuing through 2023/24 and renewing for 2024/25. Seaward find ways to thrive in a division with the likes of Norwich City, QPR, and Cambridge United. We love working with them -- you will, too.

Realised i've never put out the call here: If you're interested in women's football in London, and helping INDEPENDENT ones compete against sportswashing, then I'm the vice-chair of a club and WE NEED YOU. Volunteers, in person or remote, in ANY capacity or skill. Sponsors too! londonseawardfc.com

I don’t know how many Scandinavians are familiar with indigenous Sámi length and navigation concepts? There are several other mathematical concepts like distance and how to count number of heads in a herd of reindeer.

I'm back to creating new Excel videos for my YouTube channel. The video I released today shows you how to do useful date calculations using the DAY() function. For example, you can determine the effective start date of an employee's benefits based on their hire date without complicated math.

Today is a good day. I received my Crab City Nights book from @jonrosenberg.bsky.social's Kickstarter along with the combo bottle opener and flash drive. I'd been looking for a decent travel bottle opener for a while but didn't want to buy 50 of them. Turns out past me was pretty savvy.
