Through the years, I’ve heard lots of bedtime excuses. Tonight’s was a first, though…

Ryan: “I’m not ready to go to bed. I have to tidy up my room.”

Okay. So that one… I’ll let him get away with that excuse. (He did tidy up his room, and it looked nice.)

@lexfri I was thinking Washington Redacted.

My girls made @RosannaPansino’s chocolate chip cookies. 🍪🍪🍪 t.co/zoTE349R9…

@sbird1016 I was in the Kroger in Irmo tonight… and everyone had a mask. 100%. So some people are getting it…

@Michaela_Baker @UofSC_CIC I like the labels.👍

Was talking about baseball with my daughter and explaining the hidden ball trick. Which of course led me to a YouTube compilation… youtube.com/watch?v=jzloez…

@legogradstudent FACT: You can never have too many monitors.

Liz is teaching some online summer school classes remotely… so we reconfigured several rooms to carve out a second desk/video conference area. Anyone else find themselves constantly rearranging their furniture while working from home?

@dmoren What do MASK toys and The Galactic Civil War book series have in common? Two awesome things that happen to be at my desk. t.co/APFiP9zLe…

@kottke We, too, have a law against face coverings because of the KKK, but our Attorney General has already said it doesn’t apply to the masks we wear for health and safety.

@kottke As a South Carolinian, I’d like to point out that story is about North Carolina.

@keyjbrown @GamecockWBB Maybe even more than one…

@keyjbrown What are you taking first?

Mask AND distancing. Not mask OR distancing. So please #WearAMask, but also #KeepYourDistance.

@hkoverton Congrats!

@Aleen Is that an iPad mini running a dashboard under the monitor?

@drkevhull @UofSC Congrats!

@thomharman @Theaprilblake @sbird1016 To be fair, Apple and Google have done a bunch of work to prevent the data from being user identifiable. And it only works in combination with an official contract tracing effort. Everything they are doing is well-documented and out in the open. apple.com/covid19/contac…

It’s time to wear a mask: sketchbookb.com/journal/2020/6…

@keyjbrown @lakeyia @UofSC @GradSchoolatUSC @UofSC_CIC Congrats! Awesome news. Can’t wait to see you around the graduate suite.

When your daughter thinks she might want to be an astrophysicist, you buy a bunch of books on astrophysics. Any recommendations?

@cjlake @taymcraig @darcslay @PeytonAufill @LaurieBarnhill @enewman595 Yes. I’d guess E for us. Although a lot of it depends on color space. Our RGB build is intentionally darker than what 202’s official build is.

Also, “Fort Hill White” is named after John C. Calhoun’s plantation.

Clemson may also want to change the names of the colors in their official brand… Tillman Brick and Calhoun Fields. clemson.edu/brand/guide/co…
