TopatoCo is one of the nicest places I ever bought stuff from.
Also, some of the nicest stuff I ever bought, including my two favourite hoodies 😊

Did you know we are a tiny bitty business? The size of a peanut even? Consider buying from us so that we may grow to the size of a large purple cabbage, or perhaps a bag of Yukon gold potatoes. Maybe the size of a yam? man am I hungry right now...

My partner is starting a project of doing some free fonts based on vernacular writing we find around Brazil in our travels
Go take a look! (It's reeeeally hard to find those kinds of fonts in the internet!)

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Wanted to be an archaeologist, but chickened out and went for something boring instead. It's been nice, mostly. Still, sometimes I wonder...
Lots of interesting stories in the quotes! Sometimes it takes a while to arrive somewhere good.

Happy 10th Advent of Code!
Two good changes: *ONLY* 12 days of puzzles (meaning we all have a better 100% chance), and though they've axed the global leaderboards (gee thanks for ruining them AI 😖), they kept the private ones. 👍
So yes, I will be sharing a private leaderboard for #LDJam & friends.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

That's so true, and one reason I still dream of going back one day.
But I've learned that most experts and professors are amazingly approachable if you show genuine interest. You can write to them and they happily answer! It's incredibly generous and I'll never take that for granted, either.

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

Oh good, they're asking the public to name something again! (replica sutton hoo ship). They have explicitly asked for nothing like Boaty mcBoatface, so this is time for old english scholars to represent. What is the OE for "Boaty McBoatface"? Can we do something with "whale road"...? #Medievalsky
