VOLUME 4, NUMBER 68
Good Afternoon. It’s Saturday, March 25, 2023
I’m experimenting with a new way to connect with readers through a new “live blog” feature. I’m hoping to use the live blog to provide updates at public meetings, sporting events and other news coverage as it comes up. To test the system, this morning I’ve been live-blogging “Today With the Editor” — which includes various bits of information, observations and whatever else I can think of as I go through the work day. Maybe people will find it interesting. Here’s a link: https://philomathnews.com/today-with-the-editor-3-25-23/
Thanks for reading!
