Great article on the increasing use of subtitles (closed captioning) and how streaming services forced a change in loudness that made dialogue more difficult to hear ~ Why Is Everyone Watching TV With the Subtitles On? https://t.co/ZZZGOKI7rF

It's a new semester savings record! Boosted by new eTextbooks that had rolled out earlier in the year, during the Fall 2022 semester our books were used by 365 @WCUofPA students in 14 course sections, saving them $26,321. That's $10K more than the previous record!

Sadly, it's a story heard too often (see also David Mills and Network Time Protocol). Why doesn't software development count towards promotion and tenure? https://t.co/Ml4lk0CeMt

I don't think any of the major voice assistants has lived up to their original hype of functioning almost like an actual assistant. Lack of trust in the company is probably also a factor. https://t.co/fFvJVbzMp9

Current challenges faced by Computer Science faculty. There's some irony with the computer-based grading solutions being more trouble than they're worth. While it's long and tedious work, I always found feedback directly from faculty to be extremely helpful. #HigherEd #Computing

Awesome! Their search is currently down (probably getting slammed because of the recent press), but I'm looking forward to diving into this. ~ Lost something? Search through 91.7 million files from the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s https://t.co/2hEKgZGa7y
