Two themes presented themselves as last weekend developed. In previous years it's been Merit, Blue Box, or Sports Figures, one year in was Gem-Culpitt/Cake Decorations, all of which had quite small, or no representation this year, but as...

Back in 2015, Johan Commelin and I made le superficie algebriche, an interactive picture of the geography of minimal complex algebraic surfaces, plotted by their Chern numbers $\mathrm{c}_1^2$ and $\mathrm{c}_2$ (see the original post...
Hello, loves! Let’s get back to work on displaying the path to things. We need a different Flooder setting for sure. The current scheme for finding the path between Dot and some named treasure shortcuts through walls. I suppose that...
In high school, most days began and ended with AIM.This was before everyone had text messages (or cell phones). Everything from class projects to entire relationships took place in an AIM window. Needless to say, I have some nostalgia...

I started working on a very simple TUI for WordPress this weekend. By “I started working” I mean I used Claude Code and Compound Engineering to build out a prototype. So far it can create new posts and pages, add images, and use most of...
I’ve never seen evidence of good men in national politics. The best are only good in relation to the swine roaming DC hallways. Truly good men are only ever known personally and are invisible to every form of worldly power.
In this snapshot of the Bloomington calendar you can see that events are neatly categorized. This was an intractable problem a dozen years ago. Should the county fair land in community / social or family/kids? It’s not a critical choice,...
Lindsey Graham. I anticipate the online conspiracy industry to be posting theories regarding Russia, Ukraine, Iran and Democrats at any moment. Probably already have. You only have one life to live. How will Graham be remembered? What...
