Last fall, I taught UW-Madison’s Computer Science Capstone class and it was a blast. The Computer Sciences department just published an article about the class. It contains more project information as well as some student feedback.

I’m extremely proud of the class and the students who took the class last semester. I’m teaching it again this fall and we’ve already got a lot of students signed up, plus five companies ready to sponsor projects. Reach out to me if you’d like more information. I’m always happy to talk about the class!

Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney Is The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Romney’s book, Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, is incredibly well-written and eye-opening. Somewhere between her descriptions of the fascinating world of rare book dealing and her excavation of the lives and hardships of famous female authors of the 1700s and 1800s, I realized something that stopped me cold: we have let men curate so much more than just our decisions about what to read.
