Now

• Working on a new book. It’s too early to say what it’s about, but I can tell you this: I spend a lot of time talking about whether tomatoes are fruits or vegetables.
• Doing sound design for a VR game! This is super fun, but again, too early to say much about it.
• Taking an extremely deep dive with VCV Rack. I think I might be in love. I will write about this eventually.
• Experimenting with the Rust programming language and taking a look at Raku (the language formerly known as Perl 6). I have studiously avoided Rust, because the syntax gives me Perl flashbacks. So this is really rather extraordinary!
• Procrastinating on Muybridge II (the sequel to Muybridge I).
• Planning out the summer, which will include all of the above plus some deep reading in the theory of computation, randomness, analog computing, and other arcana.
• I’ll be teaching Bible as Literature and a course on Interactive Fiction this Fall. The former needs some better resources for students unfamiliar with the timeline of the Bible and the geography of the Ancient Near East, and I haven’t taught the latter in, oh, twenty years. So I need to spend some serious time on this!
