Teaching @calista about #quantumcomputing by baking a 49 #qubit rainbow "chip" cake this weekend #PBL #tanglelake #intel50 πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ³πŸŒˆπŸŽ‚πŸ’»πŸ“» Image
following a #tanglelake cake recipe be like πŸ‘‡ #wegotthis #noreally Image
Yeoman attempt to render the watermelon striping of an @intel #qubit processor, via @BettyCrocker #rainbowchip mix and @WiltonCakes color gels 🀞 ImageImageImageImage
Pro tip: rotate oven shelf by 180 so that the back stop is in the front, if the oven door won't close on your giant new cake pan 🀣
<wondering if @intel and @BettyCrocker have ever been co-tagged, she searches and confirms that in fact there IS (!) one tweet from 2015, via @polerstuff>
Quantum bakery getting real (AKA the fondant and geometric cookie cutters from @amazon arrived after lunch.) #achievementunlocked #1stsquarecakefondant ImageImage
Radios are in! (@calista going to be mad that I rolled these and painted with gold Sunflower Sugar Art dust while she was at dad's, but hitting cake deadline) ⏰ @intel #tanglelake ImageImage
Though @calista was unimpressed by heads/tails coin toss analogy for #quantumcomputing, she liked the idea of Grover throwing out all the times I would say No for a popsicle after school, so that every time she could get a Yes.
We did it! One "quantum rainbow chip" cake. πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ³πŸ’»πŸŽ‚πŸ† Happy Birthday @intel! #tanglelake #intel50 #thenext50 ImageImage
Post-serving cross cut reveals outcome of our attempt to reproduce the watermelon-colored striping of @intel quantum silicon. @calista rocked it! πŸ’šπŸ’–πŸ’šπŸ’–πŸ’š Image

Box fan air filters work...

Pic #1: MERV 12, MPR 1500 @3M @Filtrete, at 8:30AM today. In use nonstop for 1 week, in SF, in a bedroom with doors/windows shut. Taped to a cheap box fan on medium setting (2).

Pic #2: the same filter, at 6:30PM today. Outside AQI was 200-230. ImageImage
Per the @nytimes, 87% of smoke particulates are removed from a room within 35 minutes, with a box fan air filter on a medium setting. (In an unfair comparison to expensive purifiers being run on high....you can also run the box fan on high!)

nytimes.com/wirecutter/blo…
Pro tips:
1. Seal all air gaps with either gaffer or duct tape (see pic)
2. The filter can go on either the front or back. Pick the side *farthest away* from the fan blade, to get the most air flow. If you like, go even farther by adding a cardboard box (picture a wind tunnel!) Image

What a residential neighborhood looks and sounds like in San Francisco tonight 😲
Has been going on for 20-30 minutes and no signs of slowing down. (from Bernal Heights) @Bernalwood @SFist
Related: I am now sitting in the puppy crate. He's done great, but an hour (and counting) takes a toll when you're only 15 weeks old. ❀ Image

Kicking off July 4th weekend with a @HamiltonMusical watch party for @girlscouts @troop61691 - and our scouts LOVED it. Thank you @disneyplus @Lin_Manuel for sharing it in time! πŸ€©πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

PS Interested in Hamilton-with-kids? See thread for our cheat sheet. @GSNorCal @zoom_us
1. Set up a @zoom_us meeting, and make sure to have a couple of breakout rooms. Kids get bored on text-only, and Zoom supports video sharing during the show. Also, if (when) any kids get chatty, they can 'take it outside' into a breakout room, while the show continues for others.
2. Provide kid-friendly context for @HamiltonMusical - we posted both @CRFUSA's Federalist Papers worksheet (for grades 4-6) and @NYHistory's online exhibit on Alexander Hamilton, to @troop61691's @GoogleForEdu Classroom.

Heard from my daughter's 4th grade teacher that alternate-day school attendance is being considered for next year - eg, K-2 on Mon/Wed, 3-5 on Tues/Thurs
(thread)
Pros:
- dropping daily attendance from 520 to 260, in the same physical space, makes distancing more feasible
- school 2 days/week should mitigate most of the social/emotional toll that kids are going through
- less scrambling by parents to home school
Cons:
- home 3 days/week means parents must work from home 3 days/week ongoing
- parents without remote-work jobs must scramble for childcare, as well as 'substitute teachers'
- parents must continue to manage lesson plans for whatever subjects/lessons aren't covered in-school
