After my classes this morning (2 Critical Thinking, and one on Newton’s Laws of Motion), I decided to take Scully out for a drive to get some lunch. I initially thought I’d go to one of my favourite pie places, but it’s a bit of a drive, maybe 25 minutes to get there. I checked Google maps for any other interesting bakeries that I hadn’t been to that were closer, and I found ...

This morning I went into the University of Technology Sydney for my weekly tutoring role in the Image Processing course. The lectures concluded last week, an d now for the next few weeks we have project sessions, where the students work on their assessment tasks and we are available for them to ask questions and to give advice. Some of the student groups have some quite inter...

The weather is warming up much earlier than usual for spring. This morning I decided to take Scully on a long walk early, to avoid the heat around lunchtime, with a forecast of 26°C. We went to our favourite Italian bakery, where I got a pistachio and chocolate scroll for morning tea and some biscuits for dessert tonight.

On the way I was observing things more carefull...

I had a busy Monday, with plenty of online lessons to teach. And in the afternoon I spent most of my time finishing off the physics lesson on motion for my science student, the class being tomorrow. I’m almost finished – I just need to complete a half-done slide on Newton’s Third Law and I think it’s done.

I forgot to mention this yesterday, but another thing I did on ...

Today I mostly continued working on my science class for the coming week. I figured I’d do basic motion, and so of course I need to cover Newton’s Laws of Motion. Then I realised I should set up the background for why Newton’s ideas were so radical, so I actually have to start with Aristotle. Then I figured I should say something about Galileo and how he began refuting some o...
