Post Delayed Due to Unforeseen Improvements
I was planning on finishing part two of my post on “magic” last week, but then I had an idea for a very simple game I could program that would help get my point across much better.
The game is simple enough that I think I can just use HTML forms to make it–no JavaScript required–so it will be a good opportunity to practice with kelp, too. Most likely, I’ll have another devlog this week about why I’ve chosen to use kelp to redesign my website. I hope you’re looking forward to it!
Joy and health to you all.

Be Impressed
My father-in-law got me this puzzle for my birthday a few years ago. It’s been sitting in a box for most of that time, but two weeks ago I got it out and brought it to work and yesterday I finally solved it! It was a good one. Thanks, Pa!

Some Inspiration
A reminder from my daughter that it’s okay to dream of better things. Even if they seem too big. Even if they’re (gasp) cliche!
I have a dream that every one givs more muny to homles people and people take more care of the Earth
As we grow into adults, we learn that optimism is childish, and that dreams like these are simple and naive. Well–not all childish things are wrong. Sometimes, the sky really is blue, 2+2 really does equal 4, flowers really are pretty, the Emperor really is naked, and people really should take more care of the Earth and each other.
(And don’t forget to take care of yourself too, okay?)

My Favorite Candy
I love gummies, I am a huge sucker for tiny versions of regular things, and I am delighted by novelty. Other candies never stood a chance.
They used to be sold in the US under the Wonka brand, but for some reason they were discontinued here. Now I have to have them shipped from the UK to get my fix…
