Just finished a launch for a project I’ve been working on for quite awhile. A little tired for a post so I’ll just put this here.

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 of time on your hands.

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.

Just got finished working a little extra for the day. Also just polished off a surprisingly strong bottle of beer — surprising in that I didn’t realize it was 8% ABV, so I’m a little buzzed.

French is coming along so-so, Je voudrais dire vous que c’est facile, mais non c’est.. Though I did just type that, ad hoc and google translate seems to think it’s right; so I guess that’s progress! My French friends can tell me if it’s correct, I guess.

Since I’m a little buzzed, maybe I’ll just share some photos I’ve collected on m phone. Enjoy!

I’ve been meaning to write a post about general gender issues for a long time now, but I’ve never gotten around to it. This is not that post, but it contains something that’s bothered me awhile now, and I’d like to address it. I’m not sure why it bothered me enough today in particular, but strike while the iron is hot, right?

Part of this is attempting to analyze and deconstruct what I think is happening. Don’t treat this as canon — Your Mileage May Vary.

I guess to hedge my bets I could just say, “Maybe this only happens to me.”

I’m sitting here looking at various language videos online, perusing the resources available to me in a 1st world magic-land. There are quite a few free resources if you’re willing to do a bit of searching. I’m very fortunate to have access to so many learning opportunities. It’s too bad that it’s all structured wrong.

You Are What You Speak continued »

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.
