   "Honors Physics, Spring 2020: The Physics of Video Games and Gaming" SMU students are invited to explore physics through the lens of creating games and gaming experiences using interactive technologies. Coding, math, visualization, and storytelling combine in a landscape of physical laws to allow us to interact in increasingly realistic ways through a virtual space. Games may break the laws of nature in such a space, … Continue reading "Honors Physics, Spring 2020: The Physics of Video Games and Gaming" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/01/14/honors-physics-spring-2020-the-physics-of-video-games-and-gaming/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ )

   I am pleased to be teaching @SMUPhysics #HonorsPhysics again this semester. My learning assistant and I will be doing a new theme for the course. To learn about it, check out the "teaser trailer"! https://smu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=712b0b22-50f3-421e-b645-ab40001dd54e https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1216455354915217409/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62813

    "Call and Response: Course Evaluation Dialog for PHYS 3305 (Fall 2019)" This image of the ATLAS detector is my “cover image” for PHYS 3305 in our Canvas learning management system. Course evaluations are imperfect (in a different way, of course, grades are an imperfect measure of student potential). Students evaluating professors is fraught with peril in both directions. That said, there is immense social value in … Continue reading "Call and Response: Course Evaluation Dialog for PHYS 3305 (Fall 2019)" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/01/11/call-and-response-course-evaluation-dialog-for-phys-3305-fall-2019/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ )

    One of my favorite college memories: New Year's Eve concert at the Killingworth Congregational Church Grange Hall w/ my band, Grushenka; cover of Rush's "Red Barchetta." Our bassist kicked ass. I flubbed the drum part (duh) but had SERIOUS FUN TRYING. @erdanton @solidgoldrold

    Awesome. Now it's snowing. First time I've seen snow in Dallas in a few years (but that might partly be because of past travel during this time of year...)

    More words for our time, c/o Neil Peart: Wilderness of mirrors So easy to deceive My precious sense of rightness Is sometimes so naive So that which I imagine Is that which I believe ("Double Agent", Counterparts, Rush)

    Words 4 r time. Thx, Neil Peart. Is the voice of reason against the howling mob Hero...is the pride of purpose In the unrewarding job Hero...not the champion player Who plays the perfect game Hero...not the glamour boy Who loves to sell his name Everybody's buying Nobody's hero

    On the passing of Neil Peart: https://t.co/qT8H9AEOKD I think I wore holes in the magnetic tape on one of his drumming studio video tapes.
