Geelong Botanical Gardens in Spring sunshine-wildflower meadow of pink everlastings. This is just a small part of it.

Expanse of pink flowers. Two boulders are surrounded by the flowers.

Latest royalty statement shows there are another 69 copies of A Stitch in Line out in the world, in people's hands. Thank you so much, and happy stitching!

Not sure what to make of the fact that the paragraph instructing my daughter to describe any use she had made of AI in her assignment contained an error that a spell-checker would have picked up.

The cat will not let me pat her, but at least she didn’t hiss at me, which is how she greeted me when I got home from Bridges last year.

Five plus hours in transit in Bangkok. But at least the robot vacuum cleaners are friendly.

Ms 19 and I took the chance to further our joint enjoyment of silo art by tracking down this off-trail singleton in Geelong.

Last year, I made feijoa jam with my father’s large crop. There was a lot of peeling. This year someone else gave me 1.5 kg of small feijoas, so I made a skin-on chutney. Couple of hours in the slow cooker, finished on the stove.

I'm on the hunt for a reference cited in a paper that is about 10 years old, and the author hasn't been super careful about details. When I'm editing, I know authors get frustrated that I check all their page numbers etc. I protect your future reader from my current level of frustration!

New xor pattern generalization dropped! For each pixel (x|y) write x and y in base 3, then add the corresponding digits of x and y mod 3. Here we have purple for f(x,y)%4==0 #mathsky

It's Anzac Day in Australia. (Think something like Remembrance Day/Armistice Day, although we mark that as well.) One of my favourite mathematics movies is on TV today - Dam Busters. Come for the music, stay for the maths.

I think I have a proof of something for a paper I have been writing. However, this is the third time that I’ve thought this, so I’m more hopeful than triumphant.

During a faculty debate this morning on the topic of using AI to help grade assignments, I pointed out that students should have the right to opt out of having their work uploaded to an LLM (or any external system, like Turnitin). Does anyone know of any cases or laws or policies that support this?

Day 6 of the math-art class I’m leading. The main activities: lunch and share outs with the math and music class, and setting up an art gallery and pairs of our kids each showing their art pieces and doing an art project with 3 kindergartners. Each pair created their own lesson plan! #mathart #mtbos

I started this project twelve years ago, and today I hold the result in my hand. It’s a book that combines bead weaving with math called, “Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch.” This book is the first of its kind, a recipe book of algorithms for making pixel art.

Lovely morning picking raspberries at Kinglake Raspberry Farm with Ms 19. It's a bit of a summer tradition for us now. Much later than most years. (Always get a smile from other people's kids who spot a wombat hole, of which there are many, and think that they might spot a wombat.)
