Good Things of 2023
- Grandchildren-- Eleanor Jane Buzzard, to be specific. Such a delight! Too far away in Ithaca, NY, with her father at Cornell.
- Bananagrams. Scrabble with speed added and appropriate gain from making long words.
- My Brain Is Open, by Brian Schechter, 224 pp. (2000). A bio of mathematician Paul Erdos, entertaining, funny, and with bits of math well explained.
- Massimo on Twitter/X. Twitter will edify you if you just look at this one account on Twitter to read its odd science facts and skip the feed fed to you.
- 5. Chess.com. Better than the site recommended last year, because it has computer player of all levels, and can comment on your moves.
- 6. Substack. For reading and writing, this is giving magazines serious competition.
- 7. Walking in the 4th of July parade.
- 8. WhatsApp is very good for a family group to share photos and make little comments.
- 9. Julie Kelley on Twitter, Jan. 6 political prosecutions
- 10. Twelve good articles at https://www.rasmusen.org/rasmapedia/index.php?title=Best_Dozen_Articles_I%27ve_Read_in_2023.
