Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Friday, 2024.04.26 
Today, many critics lament the lack of innovation in our society and draw the
conclusion that more emphasis on teaching mathematics and science will lead to
innovation. That will probably fail. Innovation comes from repeated successes in
innovating. Innovation means trying ideas outside the accepted patterns. It
means providing the opportunity to fail as a learning experience rather than as
an embarrassment. ...the traditional school powerfully suppresses any tendency
toward being innovative. Both teachers and students are driven to conform.

Rocky Mountain High

Spent most of the day in Breckenridge (Colorado) visiting my brother and nephew who are visiting from New York for a ski trip in the glorious Rocky Mountains. This is the view from I-70 about the Genesee exit.

Rocky Mountains

Simply breathtaking.
