Chris Bohn @docbohn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Office Space has the desirable property that my students have actually heard of it (if not watched it), when I discuss problems with using floating point numbers for decimal currency.

Chris Bohn @docbohn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think Fat Bear Week voting should be about more than how fat the bear is. Judge their salmon-catching skills for accuracy and technical difficulty. Hold a talent competition. Maybe a spelling bee. Give them mathletes problems. Don't vote for the most-round bear. Vote for the well-rounded bear! 120

Chris Bohn @docbohn.bsky.social · 25/09/202630 minutes in, I'd suddenly change my posture. I'd look disoriented, like I'd been unaware of the previous half-hour. I'd not-very-surreptitiously look at my reflection and touch my face. At the next break, I'd stand in a corner and talk quietly but animatedly to someone who isn't there, named "Al" 020
