And I’ve loved your podcast since i was a middle-aged man! In all seriousness, I brought home 2 copies of your book from Patrecon. Kept one for myself and gave one to my wife. I love your easy, simple-to-follow way you describe stuff. It actually makes things easy.

So apparently I forgot to say much of anything, but as of tomorrow, I am promoted to full professor. There’s officially nothing more to accomplish in my career. :joy:

There’s gotta be same named chair or something…

But big, big congrats. You don’t become a full prof without being badass. :slight_smile:

At my place I’d have to recruit a donor for a named chair, and o have no interest in that. Also already turned down department chair. I may yet take the chief data officer role in a year or so- that’s up but also sideways. Or maybe I’ll hang out and then retire. :slight_smile:

I have been asked to be a moderator at the 3rd forum I participate in. This is completely honorary, based on your behavior on said forum. I’ve been there for 12 years and it’s highly unlikely I will ever fit the profile of someone who is in the upper tier of what they’re about, due to background, location, spouse, money, and a few other factors.

I was completely surprised and replied that I"d be honored of course!
