I love to use the word ‘visible’ to describe things. To me, when used metaphorically, it means something like ‘relatively easy to observe and comprehend’. When I typed in into my last blog post I wondered if there […]

Over the course of this year (and last year?) Mel, Ash, and I read a trilogy of books: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword, and Ancillary Mercy. They were great fun! I love Breq and I love how actually looking at […]

Wow. When I wrote that last blog post I forgot that it was the last blogging time of the 2017-2018 school year. To me, that pretty much represents how this whole school year has felt to me. The weeks kept passing […]

Recently I learned more about the zodiac. I’ve had fun with it and I think it has its uses. I do wonder if I’ll experience a downside in expecting people to act like their sign and being biased in that way.

…is when somebody describes a tool as though it’s part of the person using it. For example, saying “I got tailgated by an irresponsible driver,” is referring to the cars as though they are the people driving […]

I recently got introduced to a game called Ultimate Chicken Horse. I had loads of fun and after the person who introduced it to me informed me that they didn’t like playing it with me, I got it for myself.

I started playing Terraria again and I find it quite fun.

Here are some of my favorite things to do in Terraria:

Find accessories that I can combine with my current ones to give me even cooler […]

For the past ten years, I have eaten animal products all the time.

Sometimes I would resolve to stop eating meat, because of what I’d heard about the way animals get treated, but I didn’t last long before I […]

Lately, I’ve enjoyed playing, thinking about, and learning about chess! I find it real fun.

I also found a YouTube channel about chess that I enjoy. I’d like to share with you this playlist on that channel […]

Since near the end of last school year, some badger players have wanted to start fresh in a new world. After some discussion we chose to create a new server for this world. Just before the end of the school year, […]

On Sunday I participated in a hackathon for my first time with @douglasawesome and @failspy as my teammates. Although some things went awry, I learned a lot and would definitely participate in another.

I think […]

Over the past couple weeks, Even and I have spent lots of time on the Eventernet. We deliberated over the design of our protocol and built some prototype machines:

A prototype 3-way router
A prototype note […]

Even (@chimp) and I have started on a new project, something I find very exciting! The idea is to create an internet inside of Minecraft. I’ll keep you posted!

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a programming language called Rust. Since then I’ve read a lot of articles and documentation about it, rewrote my upcoming discord bot in it, and watched about half of the videos on […]

I want resources to go to those who need them. This only happens when our approach to sharing resources helps everyone.

I see two approaches to sharing resources:

Trading, where you lose something that I […]

About a year ago I started a practice of helping my Mom(@merlinworks) with the daily mini every day. After we’d done that for a while I wanted to play them by myself so she would reset her app so I could play it […]
