This exhibit at the Tate Modern in London giving real “How Many?” vibes.

Spring is just around the corner!

Come hang out in Oshawa for #OAME2025

Giving a keynote at OAME is a bucket list item for me. So privileged to contribute to a community that has given me so much!

These make me smirk every time.

(Side quest: if someone answers “48,” what led them to that conviction?)

First time in the new Martensville barn.

👏 👏

Beautiful facility for minor hockey.

In my office this morning (between hockey practices) 3D printing prototypes.

No time this year (teaching topic this week), but this book offers an interesting introduction to scale factor.

Gotta get a lesson built someday.

Five prototypes later, we have a functioning product.

Snug to the stick and weighs next to nothing.

Going to let The Boy handle a few pucks before replacing the knobs on his game sticks.

I forgot how obsessive the design and testing process was.

When a blizzard cancels your hockey tournament, you beta test 3D printed goalie stick knobs

Spent the bulk of the weekend tinkering with a 3D printer.

An interesting learning environment.

Sometimes feeling the need to be told things and other times troubleshooting with my past experience as guide.

Ended up with my first 2-colour print before bedtime.

For the first time ever, we are having trouble getting our outdoor rink to freeze in December.

Math Ed Twitter OGs will remember these.

I think John Scammell introduced me to these as one of the first 3 Acts tasks I ever saw.

I could have put one in my carry on, but didn’t want to lug around the extra 5 lbs.

Got this on my McDs coffee today.

Good karma.

See ya in a few days, Nova Scotia!
