Finished Project Hail Mary yesterday. I love Rocky and hope that there is a sequel someday.

That's awful

This is good news! CSS is an art in an even more obvious way than coding that doesn't translate to visual aesthetics. It would be tragic to lose an art form.

I love participating in the scientific community, but you have to choose where to expend your resources.

Since publishing my book I've been basically inundated with invitations to speak and present at conferences. They are all cases where I would be required to pay a fair bit in order to register as a speaker. That's the #academic system for you, I guess!

With my longer commute these days, it seems that Saturday mornings are the best time to write. โœ๏ธ

Getting some research and writing done for my upcoming non-fiction books. Tempted to switch gears to my sci-fi WIP as well.

If only we had the same sense of urgency about the real threat of climate change that Andy Weir's Earth has about Astrophage.

As a Christian, the divine plan I believe in is found in Isaiah 2:4.

"... they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

For my Instructables contest prize I chose a David's Tea gift card. Now I have a large supply of Forever Nuts. So cozy.

In quantum information theory, we don't say "I love you", we say "Our correlation is so strong that the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters inequality prevents me from being entangled with any other subsystem", and I think that's beautiful.

The first eBook sales are coming in! Thank you! ๐Ÿ™

This #book had a successful beta on Royal Road with over 1,200 reads and a 5 star rating. Can we get a similar rating over on Amazon? :)
