#reedcollege — Public Fediverse posts

This week I led two #jazz slow jam sessions for beginners at #ReedCollege as part of the college's community learning week called Paideia. A #SlowJam is just that, playing very slowly so that people who are new to a jam or to the tunes can get started. The first goal is listening to each other so that we can play *together*. The students were enthusiastic and successful. And my co-leader and I had an absolute blast.

I am foolishly considering giving a couple of talks on the basics of patent practice at my undergraduate alma mater.

Have you seen those posts that are like "Don't be passive, this isn't Twitter, introduce yourself and participate in conversations" ? I'm taking them to heart and I'll be posting not just one, but three or four #introductions aimed at different audiences.

First of all, I have real-life communities. I'm a former resident of #SantaPaula and #Ojai #California, now #Portland #Oregon #PDX

I attended the #ThacherSchool and #ReedCollege #reed

I sing with #PGMC, Portland Gay Men's Chorus

Shout out to #mathstodon to say hello. I majored in math at #ReedCollege, decades ago now but I do try to keep up now and then. My undergrad thesis was on #KnotTheory (#algebraic #topology). My father was an applied mathematician in aerospace. These days I make a living as a software architect and it is the rare and joyous day when I get to use any bit of math.
