I post articles infrequently on The Stochastic Game, my personal blog. Here are the most recent entries:
Discontinuing PieCrust and Wikked
There haven’t been any blog posts about some of my open-source projects in a while and the reason for this is two-fold.

It’s not that I’m uninterested […]

Here's my microblogging feed, published on my blog, and syndicated to Twitter and Mastodon:
Hello lovely people! Here, have some more dog/fog combo!
Crazy theory: the decline of seeing movies in theatres in favour of streaming them at home was caused by movies becoming so long that a critical mass of people need a bathroom break in the middle, and therefore the ability to pause the movie.
Hello everyone! I liked the clouds this morning.
That’s it.
“What to Know About the Quantum Network Buried Under New York City”: a slightly misleading title given that the quantum network used an existing optical fibre network, but still, very cool stuff.
