Good news, everyone! I think the Dreamwidth feed for my mathematics blog works. The RSS feed definitely does. Did you skip them? Then here's the past week's writing:
- Reading the Comics, April 18, 2017: Give Me Some Word Problems Edition but nobody has! I'm disappointed by this.
- What Do I Need To Get A B This Semester? (May 2017 Edition) a perennial.
- Reading the Comics, April 22, 2017: Thought There’d Be Some More Last Week Edition since I went to all the bother of splitting a week mostly to accommodate my pinball schedule.
- Reading the Comics, April 24, 2017: Reruns Edition, which is not to say my comments were reruns. Just the strips I commented on. The comments were new-ish, mostly.

People having fun! I assume. They're on that thing that was I assume an upcharge attraction, this inflatable structure where you hurl a big ball at your opponent and have the fun of getting hit with stuff. We never got on it.
There's always little problems along the way at a convention like this. When we first looked at the sign we read ``Tastes like Man River'' which is an evocative yet hard-to-parse concept. I suppose they mean Mon[ongahela] River. Still.
bunny_hugger doing very well playing Super Pac-Man, getting her Pac gigantified and able to pass partially through maze walls as long as his center of mass doesn't go through the solid lines.
Arcade cabinet for LadyBug, along with the rig set up for the arcade video game championships that were going on in parallel to the pinball stuff.
Expert Donkey Kong player Billy Mitchell, hosting the arcade video game championships, has had enough of my high school geometry teacher and hurls him off stage. (Trick of the moment; Mitchell was just patting his shoulder while he walked.)
The side of the Mouse Trap cabinet, because I don't remember before seeing it. While a Mouse Trap was in the Brighton Arcade it was packed alongside many other games so that art of the art went concealed from me.
