Giant This past Friday, I had the chance to see "Giant," the play written by Mark Rosenblatt. A few friends asked for my take on social media so I thought I'd write my thoughts up here. So, if you're looking for the usual CS Ed or Emacs material, feel free to skip this one. On the other hand, I'd encourage you to read on anyway. First and foremost, the play was fantastic.

Earlier today, I was informed that Stan Teitel, former principal of Stuyvesant high school had passed away at age 77. Stan started his career as a teacher in 1971 joining Stuy in the Chem/Physics department in 1983 - my senior year, though our paths never crossed. He became the Chem/Phys AP in 1997 and then Principal in September 2000, right before 9/11. He retired in August 2012 after the DOE, in my opinion did him dirty but we'll get to that in a bit.

Time to reboot the blog. Why? Because of my new tablet. So, I got a new tablet a week or so ago. A Oneplus Pad 2. It's a 12" android tablet. I really only use it in the mornings in the winter and inclement weather. I use it with my Wahoo bike trainer both to run the trainer controls and to watch videos. In nice weather I usually run outside.
