I’ve just realized that I’m starting to lose my chops for both programming and physics. Just like anything else, you need to practice to keep yourself up to snuff. So, I’m going to start working on my chops. There are going to be a series of pages that I’m going to start up this weekend. I’m thinking of a series of pages on Mythbusters for the science, and a series of pages on scientific computing. We’ll see if I can keep this up and actually get my edge back.

Writing…
Well, I seem to be finding a really satisfying hobby, writing. I’ve worked out a mini-column deal with Linux Journal where I write a ~1000 word column for their UpFront section each month. It is really fun, since I get to explore really obtuse areas of the Linux command line. I’m posting it on the “Published Articles” page.
I’ve got ideas for columns for other magazines that I will be pitching. Right now I have more ideas pouring out of me then I can write down. I also have an idea for a book for atheist Druidry. I’m finding more and more people who are interested in it, but there are no real resources out there. I will probably post the introduction up here when it’s done, and I’m going to be pitching the idea to some publishers out there. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually be a formally published author.
