While Apple is having their iPad event, I’m more interested in analog circuits with OpAmps, as the old becomes new again. Really, once invented nothing really goes away, and can be useful under special circumstances, or combined with new inventions.

Other than that, the late Bob Pease seems a great educator.

Pentecost literally means fiftieth. Since it’s 49 days after Easter, it is an example of an off-by-one error. Another is that for marking 10 distances one needs 11 distance markers, instead of 10.

Yesterday, on King’s Day April 27, I ran my slowest half marathon race ever. I was overweight, injured and ill-prepared. Still, I had two goals in mind (finish without walking within 130 minutes), which I reached, more or less.

It was a small race, combining three distances (5, 10 km, and half marathon), though the starting location of the half marathon was separated by roughly 300 m. The starting gun was relayed via loud speaker. Clearly, this wasn’t an official race with a certified course, nor was it on the national track and field organization’s list of road races. I had registered so early on that I received a “1” on my bib, which was unfortunate, since I finished almost last. I had no intention of racing with an ankle injury. Still, being overweight made it a real challenge for me. After finishing I had to recover a few minutes from the exertion and pain.

Apparently, genAI doesn’t know what to make of this.

In preparation for a half marathon on King’s Day (April 27) I ran and walked 24 km. I’m still suffering through an ankle injury, so I’ll have to be cautious. It was a beautiful day, partially run alongside a canal between two rivers. It was tough, because I did 1.5 times my usual training 🏃

To baa, or not to baa, that’s the question.
