I was trying to do something clever there with the word “narrative” and “errata”, but I don’t think it really works. Anyway, you should read this adaptation of a talk given at Stanford. It resonates with me because it reminds me of something I was told a lot growing up: You must have a lot [...]

I wanted to decorate my laptop a little bit, set me apart from the hoi polloi, so I purchased a decal from a random amazon seller. It’s pretty sweet. A slight problem though: the company sent me some free stickers. I don’t know what to do with them.

I started learning French, again. It’s fun! Also, kind of weird. The first thing I did, yesterday, was switch my phone over to Francais mode. It’s a good thing I’m both fairly familiar with the interface and know a lot of cognates in a few languages, so I can guess what things mean.

So this is the end of my foray. It feels as if I’ve written a great journey, though it also feels as if I haven’t really written that much. I can look at the nano page and see all the posts, but I don’t have a tangible feeling of how many posts I’ve written. I’m [...]
