10:25 AM Non Standard View
Here is a view from the fifth floor of the exam building. One of the towers in the distance is our Jiangyin apartment building,
6:32 AM Non Standard View: The Gauntlet
Traffic at the crosswalk as I go to school. A lot of parents dropping off their kids.
5:16 AM View: Qing Ming Festival
Its tomb sweeping day or the festival of the dead telatives this weekend. So, no school on Friday.
4:22 PM View: Bill & Ted & 3 Stooges
In my class — my one of this short week — I had 8 absences which made my decision to let students self study seem prudent. I did a bit of economics with the kids, and showed the kids Three Stooges & Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.

11:19 AM View: still stalled
It would seem it is beyond the ability of my old MacBook to make the app I developed into anything other than an app in development.
I’m listening to a Viva Frei Rumble Podcast for my Canadian election updates.
6:05 AM & 7:14 AM Non-Standard Views
I forgot to take a parting view. Sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused anybody.
I did take a view from my bedroom window. It is something to be domiciled at tree top level. You hear a lot of birds chirping and you see a lot of birds coming from and going to hiding spots.
And here is the view I took from my classroom back window, just now.
5:37 AM View: Just Noticed!
I was busily playing on my phone with my back turned away from the window when I noticed the dawn light.
Self study? Tempting. I’ve got nothing to teach them
5:06 AM View: 1890
I just extended my Duolingo streak to 1890 days.
What’s in my mind? What will I do with my English class today. It’s the middle of mock exam week. Should I let them self study?

Invigilation and Proctoring today.
Making my NGD app a browser based app is not working so far.
Here are some photos I took today.

An invigilating I will go! An invigilating I will go! Heigh Ho the Dario! An invigilating I will go!
I am invigilating a physics lab.
This morning, when I left proctoring, I saw this:
When I left school for lunch, I saw this:
That bird again!
Any who. I took the above standard view photo thirty minutes after arriving for lunch. In fact, I had lunch and then went to rest in the downstairs bed before taking the above standard view photo. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone.
6:11 AM View: A Proctoring I Will Go!
A proctoring I will go! A proctoring I will go! Heigh ho the dare e o! A proctoring I will go!
Physics exam 7:30 AM.
4:12 PM View: Marc Andreessen
On the recommendation of David Collum on the Coffee and a Mike podcast, I’m listening to Marc Andreessen on a Lex Friedman podcast. He’s a super smart tech guy who is very well read. If you really want to understand what Trump and Musk are trying to do, how bad Biden & Harris were, you have to listen to this podcast. Thanks to Andreessen, I’ll have to re-read the Machiavellians. I also learned how American legacy blacks are more screwed by Affirmative Action than I ever inspected. Companies have used immigration to hire smart foreign blacks, leaving the blacks who were supposed to have benefited from AA, out in the cold. Collum took two pages of notes listening to the podcast.
I’m trying to turn my NGD app into a browser app but it ain’t tworking.

11:52 AM View: Stuff to do
With tomorrow being April 1, I realize I have less than four months to go before I go to Canada.
6:51 AM View: Parting Shot
Sunday evening back in the home country.
At my closet in my classroom now. As I walked to work, I saw a vehicle making a u-turn by the front of the Yu Shan Wan community north entrance. The middle of the road barrier that goes in front of the school and prevents parents from engaging in u-turn chaos ends there and so that is where the they make u-turns. There I saw a vehicle start to make a u-turn. I was going to cross the road there and the vehicle was blocking me. The vehicle couldn’t make a u-turn because there was two lanes of oncoming traffic. The vehicle slowly got into one of the lanes causing the oncoming traffic to swerve into, what for them, was the right most lane. When they passed and it was clear to make the u-turn, however, the car didn’t move. I saw that the driver was on his phone..
No classes today. Just a staff meeting to sit and observe.
I’ll work on my job hunt and my apps: the cointoss and the Nicolas Gomez Davila app. The latter is coming along. Maybe, I’ll screenshot it and show you what I’ve done. I would like to make it into a web page if I can’t put it on the phone.
5:38 AM View: Monday Sunrise
I could take photos of this view all day.
I only have a staff meeting to go to this day.
5:18 AM View: 5 degree Monday
Low today: 5 degrees Celsius. Recently, the high had been 33 degrees. All the EVs aren’t helping one bit.
6:52 PM & 8:28 PM Views: WJ to JJ, 中国 drivers, Last of Shanghai Photo Dump
WJ view.
JJ view.
You can never hate Chinese drivers enough.
After the game in 上海， we waited around so Tony & Jaden could get autographs.
We then took the subway, Line #1, to the Shanghai train station.
We took the slow train back to 无锡。
It was standing room only.
5:12 PM: Right and Left Lookie, Inside the Shanghai Indoor Stadium
Then, I looked right:
Work continues on whatever it is, they’re doing,
I then looked left;
Caught a photo of a train without even trying,
Below, are photos from the inside of the Shanghai Indoor Stadium.
Yao Ming’s number 15 was retired and I bought a new hat.
