Topical Schedule

Monday Politics
Tuesday Tech
Wednesday Pandemics
Thursday Climate
Friday Class
Saturday The Arts
Sunday Serendipity

NOTE I’m going to rethink the schedule, though not the categories. I don’t want to be driven by the news flow, but I would also like to be able to respond to it (for example, Hantavirus shouldn’t wait until Wednesday).

Daily Schedule

10:00am Words of the Day (M-F)
2:00pm Water Cooler (M–F)
10:00pm “Goodnight, Moon”

Topical posts on Politics, Tech, Pandemics, Climate, Class, and The Arts to be interspersed (sometimes serendipitously).
