Not always, but sometimes when I need[1] to concentrate™, I put some music/noise on. Either through headphones or the speaker. FIP often fills silence satisfactorily. Brown noise also works. Sometimes I turn to youtube for long...
I am currently reading Mapmatics: How We Navigate the World Through Numbers by Paulina Rowińska.[1] Chapter 4 — Distanced — starts by discussing homeomorphic representations that distort distances but preserve connections, such as Harry...
I was coaxed out of the house.[1] We went to Jupiter Artland for a walk around the sculpture park. Glorious weather: blue skies and fluffly clouds. A few hours spent walking through the woodland with big bits of art to look at very few...
outside I went up a hill, two hills in fact, for the first time in a long time. Driesh and Mayar, a pair of Munros in Glen Clova. Near whiteout conditions were enjoyed on both summits along with some haribo tangfastics. ⛶↗ Fig 0: above...

What happened[1] over the last four and a bit weeks? I started doing a bit more exercise after a too long hiatus. A friend came to stay and made some ramen and it is my new favourite thing to eat. I had it for lunch, and will be having...
For the third year I am participating in the #30DayMapChallenge. Creating a map per day for the whole of November is challenging. The challenge is in finding the sweet spot between doable,[1] and worth doing. Worth is a moving target. If...
I have spent a chunk of time in therapy. Often, when trying to explain my thought processes, I gravitate towards metaphors that have their roots in a domain in which I am more comfortable: physics & maths & earth science. This means I...
Whilst I can appreciate the strength and technique, I don't find speed climbing particularly captivating to watch. In fact, I think it's quite dull. The route never changes and each race is over in five seconds. To me, it feels more like...
