I found the simularium at UC Santa Cruz -- as far as I could tell, it was just a room with a projector.

Town Hall #25: Simularium

First, I'd like to share a long song I wrote about Gödel's incompleteness theorems and the P/NP problem. My live performance at the final !!Con was mediocre, but I'm quite pleased with how the lyrics landed:

• bang! bang! he murdered math! {the musical!}

Meanwhile, I've also been experimenting with the speed/length/style of my prose:

• So Many Silver Landmines
• a one man war of attrition

As I prepare for LIVE 2024, my scrapsheets demo has been bearing some cool ideas:

• growing the graveyard of "better spreadsheets"
• Reactive Relational Algebra

Stay tuned for my continuing series on offensive horticulture:

Questions & Answers

If you have questions or answers, send me an e-mail.

• We're considering leaving Southern California for Seattle! Any thoughts/opinions/advice?
• I'm researching generation/enforcement of compile-time contracts between clients and servers, and I have no clue what I'm doing. If you have any good tools or mental models, I'm all ears.
• How do you think about the evolution of user interfaces over time? What are the earliest examples of "instrument panels" and "controls"?
• Any music recommendations? I'm looking for albums/artists to rekindle my "more productive" listening habits -- it should probably be instrumental/non-English stuff to keep my brain's language centers free for work. You can mine my past music ratings for ideas.
