An interesting piece on a pair of mathematical penpals - a Cornell professor and his high school math teacher.
Math is about playfulness. It’s a kind of art: It’s about expressing yourself. A lot of people don’t get that, including many teachers, who don’t really understand the subject. To them, it’s about following rules. You have to follow this algorithm or this procedure.
They’re also featured on an episode of Radiolab titled “Numbers”.
And this is where I stole that last joke from :)
He looks at your shoes when he’s talking to you.
They’re all working so hard on their final projects.
Or intensely checking facebook.
This new life is flying by.
I’ve gone through a lot of changes over the last couple months. I became single again, started a new job at Instrument, and returned to teaching at the Art Institute. Shaved my beard too.
Now it’s March and there’s more change on the way. My students - or Padawans as they like to be called - start working on their final projects tomorrow. How is it week 9 already?! In a few weeks I’m teaching a different class for the Graphic Design department, which means an entire new batch of lesson plans and homework assignments. It’s all worth it though ;)
And to top it all off, Instrument is moving to our new office this weekend! Pictures will be coming as I already know this space is incredible.
So much change, so little time to process it all and keep the stress/anxiety levels at a minimum. That’s what my guitar is for, and it’s why you’ll find me out drinking Friday night.

I think Otters are my power animal. They are basically just like me. Reasons: Adorable, loves the water, oily coat (I’m Italian), eats off belly, short limbs and (according to this picture) can rock hats.
I’ve always thought the same about myself. I’m an oily Italian who likes the water. If otters like pizza then it’s definitely a match.
Although I don’t have short limbs. Hmm.
