Welcome. A great variety of material, ranging from clearly silly to potentially intelligent, awaits your perusal:

Behold! A panoramic vista of insufferability rises up before you:

Europe 2009

A beyond-prodigious photo gallery of my study-abroad programs in Finland and Barcelona, and of the trip through Europe between them, on the model of the Switzerland 2005 site.

Wish you could see some pictures of Finland, or Switzerland, or Barcelona? Be careful what you wish for!

Switzerland 2005

Includes a report with lots of pictures, a blog collection with no pictures, a nature journal compilation with sketches, and a picture gallery with lots of pictures.

This trip probably started my photography addiction. Hope you like pictures of houses!

P.O.I.B.

i.e. Points Of Interest Blog, covering subjects including geography, math, and linguistics. Inactive for years, but I have a big backlog of material for it!

i.e. Prince Of Inane Bumblings, cos tha's me innit!

Tessellations

A collaborative animation project with Karen Vagts demonstrating how to construct tessellations. It's a work in progress, but one demo is up!

Look, something actually worthwhile. Wow!

NOLA Is Water

A project in collaboration with three WashU classmates for an urban design studio on New Orleans and its water issues, illustrating the various facets of water in the city and the ways they interconnect.

TC;CF (Too complicated; can't fix)

IPA chart with audio

A chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet with playable audio for each sound, expanding greatly upon its predecessor: for many characters, multiple modifications are included, adding up to a very large set of articulations.

India Pale Ale? You wish! Nope, it's me making a bunch of weird sounds.

Uusikalken musiikki

My SoundCloud (fka Marktplatz), generally boont tsik kah tsikka boonka tsik kah tsitsi etc. There's also a Bandcamp page with a couple of items as well as a currently low-activity blog on music thoughts.

Landfill wannabe jungle. Do not buy and do not read my awful ramblings!

Dream journal

I write down dreams I have when I remember them and have time to write them down. Extremely backlogged. See a pattern?

Unruly and bizarre. Keep well clear.

Clickers

• Music genre name generator – If you enjoy the fine-grained categorization of music, you may like this! If you dislike the fine-grained categorization of music, you're guaranteed to loathe this!
• Accidentally – I accidentally a dumb webpage. Sry. useless

Quick links

• Color chart – all the non-grayscale "web-safe" colors, arranged by hue, then saturation, then value. useless
• Pace-culator – a quick and dirty pace calculator. can you get more basic than this
• Run for the Honey – an annual road race in my hometown. watch out for that first hill
• About the writer of the website. – disturbing yet somehow boring

Key to color tags

• travel, geography unintentional cultural chauvinism
• math, programming pontification on impenetrable abstractions
• art, architecture, design bloviations of a pompous aesthete
• music sonic and/or textual catastrophes
• language, linguistics you just know this bloke's wunna them overpronouncers
• miscellaneous assorted faffing about

This whole mistake is
