I write code and sometimes it works. I play pipe organs and sometimes sound okay. I use computers and sometimes enjoy it. https://www.appletonaudio.com

My 6yo son's finished form, including a description of the tooth loss - "I was eating Cheerios and then bye bye tooth" - a drawing of said incident, and a wildly generous claim that his tooth was white rather than a slightly yellower shade.

i saw a video today of a guy who wrote a computer program to calculate how many cans of alphabet spaghetti-o’s it would take to write out the lord of the rings trilogy entirely in spaghetti-o’s letters, and i think that guy should be the only man allowed to write code anymore.

For example, Simpson's Paradox and the importance of considering important subpopulations - is brilliantly displayed in the Palmer Penguins dataset.
