I'm starting a new project, "Physics 10 in 30 Lectures", basically the same thing as what's been done for Physics 4A, Physics 4B, and Physics 4C. I don't quite have as many lecture videos for Physics 10 as I do for those other classes (for a number of reasons; I don't have a recording of me teaching conceptual physics in in-person lectures; most of the recorded clips were produced when I was trying to follow the "best practice" advice of keeping recordings short; etc.), so I might pull from some of the clips in 4A/4B/4C classes.
Oh, and a new thing, given the timing of all this: I'm using ChatGPT in planning out the lectures. We'll see how it goes—once the lectures are put together, I'm definitely using AI in cleaning up the transcript and putting together lecture comprehension questions.
Interlude - July 21, 2025
Done with the project (that is, Physics 4B in 30 Lectures) I've been busy with. I probably have enough time remaining for one more "major project", and it's a close competition between "CoA Physics GPT" and "Companion Exercises" videos for the lecture serieses I just completed. The former will probably directly benefit the students in my class; the latter, not so much (but it may end up being better for the YouTube channel).
Anyways. I have until the end of Canvas course shell completion for 4B (today or tomorrow) to decide.
Heartbeat - June 3, 2025
I haven't updated this page in a while. I've been busy. Still busy. See:
I noticed this while on a walk today. This "map" contains reference to things that definitely don't exist. Maybe plans to further expand this open space?
One more thing: I did have a local version I could refer to, before this was published.
Lake Merritt - September 22, 2024
Coming back from mass, the lake looked particularly glassy.
Moving or Not? - August 21, 2024
I took this video while on the water shuttle. The question is, was the shuttle moving or not? (I thought this could be a good demo of relativity of motion.)
Alameda Water Shuttle - July 24, 2024
I was at the first day of its operation (July 17) but didn't think to take any photos or videos then. In any case, below is the video while approaching the dock on the Alameda side.
And below video was taken later in the evening, while I was waiting for the shuttle to come back to Alameda, for my return trip.
Yosemite Trip - July 8–10, 2024
From the last trip I'll probably take this summer (but hopefully not the last trip to Yosemite).
Washington Trip - June 19–21, 2024
A few videos from the Washington (state, not DC) trip.
