Rocket Science & Autism (yes, I can and so can you)
When I say I love learning, I mean it. From neuroscience to cuneiform, my autistic brain thrives on deep dives into complex subjects. That's why I’m currently taking "Rocket Science for Everyone" at Yale University via Coursera.
Here are six fascinating facts I learned about orbital mechanics—yes, the physics that keeps satellites in space!

Want to know the real reason I learned to code? It wasn't just a hobby. For me, traditional schooling wasn't accessible. I hit roadblocks where I needed specific tools, and the only way to get them was to create them myself. So, I learned to code. What challenges have pushed you to learn something new?

How are you?
I've been planning to spin up a small personal website. I knew I didn't need a full-blown CMS for this and, since I have so much experience using Bootstrap through my day job, decided to use it to build a site from scratch. It's been a while since I created a site from scratch—most of my experience lately involves taking on existing Enterprise sites and caretaking from there—but I was looking forward to both the challenge and the freedom of building my own.
Healthy Morning Routine for Seniors To Beat Morning Fatigue
Setting a regular wake-up time help in controlling your body’s internal clock. Even on the weekends, try to get up at the same time each day. Your natural sleep-wake cycle is strengthened by this consistency, which helps waking up in the morning.

I replaced my radiator today for the first time. Car mechanics is a new skill for me, so this felt like a big job to tackle. Fortunately, all went well! I had to take it on a test drive of course, so I'm at my favorite #Albuquerque bar for #karaoke!
Habe mir im Lockdown ein BBB angeschafft, damit ich als Soloselbständige nicht aus meinen Strukturen fliege. Seitdem gibt es morgens ein festes Treffen mit Kolleginnen, kurzer Abgleich, was so los ist und was der Tag bringen soll. Der Effekt ist superangenehm, mentale Schwankungen und Aufschieberitis sind gepuffert, die dicksten Kröten schrumpfen, wenn sie ausgeprochen werden. Eine dicke Empfehlung für alle hier, die allein arbeiten: Tut euch zusammen!

Wer morgen spontan noch dazu kommen möchte? ... Ich gebe einen Schreibimpuls, du kannst aber auch einen Brief schreiben, Tagebuch, was auch immer. Freu mich :)

I can always tell I've entered a new phase of my life when the answer to, "What would you do if you could retire today?" changes.
The answer is now, "I'd write updated editions of important programming books."

The #portfolio contributes to #LifelongLearning because it allows you to update it, change it, and refocus your reflections. For many students though this is not a practice they are used to. Therefore, it is important to talk about this benefit of portfolios. KatieAnn Nguyen from Dominican University of California talks about this in her interview for our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' Listen to learn how portfolios are seen from the student perspective. https://podcast.mahara.org
