Can you try it again ooli? I've just added an SSL certificate, maybe that did the trick?
Good catch! Not so many people would recognize one right away!
Steve and mk were beta-readers, and invaluable. I am immensely grateful!
Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. Looks ok on this side, so gotta go dig around and see what's up with that.
I'd love to discuss. There's been a lot of thinking that went into this...
Thanks! It was hard.
We just finished watching this series last night. It's one of the best series we've watched. I was particularly struck by how exciting they made chess appear. Wonderful.
Here's an mk painting he made for me of the fjord nearby. Dragon beach is along the shore you see there.
I had a buddy write some code and I have a printout of one solution per day. Most days have 25-75 solutions, but it's tricky to find just one!
That was cool. Never thought about the difficulty of such a reentry and landing. Blows my mind that they can figure out all this shit out and pull it off!
Thanks! Good thing I use Bank of Ethel!
Ha! I didn't catch that. Nice!
I'll have to play a lot stupider next time. It was fun while it lasted.
My whole computer has turned into italics!
Fixed, thanks!
Fixed, thanks!
Congratulations on your first post. It works!

Juggling. Used to do it all the time 25-30 years ago. Went semi-pro even. Circus. Could go 5 minutes with 5 balls and throw in a bunch of tricks. Records: 80 throws with 6 balls, 21 throws with 7. Now I juggle about 3 times a year, only when I'm asked to do something in a local show, or occasionally a math of juggling talk. Today my main hobbies are guitar and puzzle making. Bit of poetry and writing.

Unicorns are kind of lame.

I own what I think is the only "in the wild" copy of Wayfarers 1.0... mk was irritated that I bought it just before loads of new artwork was put in.
Thanks, man!
You can see this pattern in a LOT of places. Here's an article I wrote on some years ago, along with other resources, like blackline masters for pop-up fractals and children's stories:
