The mission of Runestone is to \"democratize textbooks for the 21st century\". To accomplish that mission we make high quality interactive textbooks available for free to all students. In the 21st century it is silly to ignore the wonderful possibilities for interactivity in a web browser, so we make great interactive textbooks that engage students in learning. It would also be silly to ignore the rich data that an online textbook can provide to students, teachers, authors and researchers. To support these different stakeholders we have created a Learning Engineering and Analytics Portal (LEAP). You can read more about that on our site.\nI publish my personal blog on A Reputable Journal where I write about biking, travel, cooking, drinking wine, and miscellaneous hacking things.\n\nI have a PhD from the University of Minnesota in Computer Science.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

@jthingelstad Great question. I drove at max speed (7.7 mph) from the north landing to our place (about 7 miles) And went from 100% to 60%. But we just got back from our usual cruise at booze cruise speed (4.5 mph) and it only used 6%. I’m going to keep track for a while and then post a review.
