about
If you want to contact me, find me on the web. I am especially interested in math, juggling, programming, and education, and since there are other people with my name you'll probably need to include at least one of those terms in any search.

I was once a prolific contributor and commenter, but no more. I go through bouts of submitting stuff, but then go and disappear for lengths of time. If there is something you'd like me to see or comment on, you can email me. Don't ask me to upvote things. If it is interesting (to me) then I will.

Submissions do not imply endorsement.

My spam filtering is pretty severe, but I've put the word "Dysprosium" on the allow-list - quote that and your email will get through.

I used to have an email here but it got harvested by spammers - I'm looking at you, mbientlab.com - so it has been removed. This is a temporary one:

HN_a7dab8S4@solipsys.co.uk

Email sent there and quoting the element name will pass my spam filters. After that we can use "proper" email addresses.

I don't know why the HTML versions all seem to lose the section breaks ... they're easy enough to render. Never mind.

I remember reading this in the late-60s, and it's very much an old friend. It does, however, annoy me when the section breaks are lost. Here's a PDF: https://dn710709.ca.archive.…

Up for me ... now. I'm in the UK, and it's four hours since you asked. I suspect it's suffering the occasional HN "Hug of Death".

Absolutely ... https://issinfo.net/artemis is the one I use. Great sense of scale, lovely to see the Moon apparently a long way from the "intercept" point, and it seems &quo…

I've found half a dozen sites to track the progress of Artemis II ... this is among the best.
