Apparently things get throttled if I mention the name of the 🦋 site. So yeah, I'm there now. Like this if you can actually see it ... and then come join us! Look for "solidangles" there.

Hey everyone, I'm still here. I've been busy as hell with my PhD program (it's the last year!), and I haven't had energy to do much on social media. But I think this election is the impetus I've needed to finally make the jump to bluesky. Find me on there if you'd like!

I can't promise I'll be active yet — this is a REALLY rough semester and I'm just trying to pass my classes, write my dissertation, and make it across the finish line. But I miss talking math with people, and I hope to do more of that in the future in a non-toxic environment.

So, uh, wow, writing a dissertation prospectus is terrifying.

Kyle Burke's "CGT Crash Course" was really cool. I might have to borrow some of these explanations when I'm teaching CGT to a new group of students. Learned a new game too — Arc Kayles!

Just got done with "Octal Games: Old and New" by Mike Fisher! Really cool stuff — interesting connections to the Fibonacci sequence, continued fractions, and turning irrational numbers into games!

I want one of these. 😍 Wonder how it changes strategy ... do the original strategy-stealing arguments for games like this apply anymore when pieces can disappear? Can the second player actually win under optimal play?

What’s left is: * Prospectus defense this summer * Two courses in fall * And the dissertation, hopefully defending in Spring 2025!
