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:

[email protected]

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

And would I like to receive a link to chat with their AI assistant via WhatsApp? Naturally, call volumes were higher than expected. I can only assume that whoever was in charge of predicting call volumes had recent suffered a…
