8 year old came home from school with the assignment to get faster with single digit multiplication, but had discovered on his own that x^2 = (x+1)(x-1)+1 by working through examples.

Today I arrived in Tübingen for a year of research leave! I've been teaching or taking care of babies more or less non-stop since 2012, so I'm pretty stoked!

Protagoras on Homer redux
What on earth is going on when people say things like 'enjoy your meal!', 'have fun!', and 'have a good day!'
They're all grammatically imperatival, but there doesn't seem like an obvious speech act verb to gloss them.

Submitted my translation of a hefty selection (~40k words) of Aristotle's fragments for a new edition of his collected works. About four years in the making, as long as it took to write my PhD! Definitely the hardest project so far in my career, but I also learned a lot.
