all linguists are mages

From a very early draft of Relevance, my working title for The Wicked and the Righteous. There is something here that still picks at my brain two and a half years later, so I’m bringing this out into the light of day. “To be shen’dralar was to be a kaldorei who excelled at the art of storytelling; the title once held no more nuance in his tongue than the words for hunter or...

This video basically summarizes my intent in maintaining this tumblr. For as often as I update here, you have no idea how hard it is for me to hit “publish”; funny how this happens when it isn’t even my own content half the time. This is my way of “telling the story of who I am with my whole heart”. (The bit about how “stories are just data with a soul”...

Catullus 1/Catulla 1

Cui dono lepidum novum libellum arida modo pumice expolitum? Corneli, tibi: namque tu solebas meas esse aliquid putare nugas. Iam tum, cum ausus es unus Italorum omne aevum tribus explicare cartis… Doctis, Iuppiter, et laboriosis!

thrown together on a lunch break

“But the life of freedom requires a beginning, and here a beginning is a resolution, and the resolution has its work and its pain-thus the beginning has its difficulty. The one making the resolution has, of course, not finished, because in that case he would have experienced that of which the resolution is the beginning. But if no resolution is made, the same thing can happen to such a...

“A 50%-good solution that people actually have solves more problems and survives...”

– paraphrasing of jwz in The Duct-Tape Programmer, which was linked to me in an email this morning by the ever-wise @dpmattingly. No idea why I was so surprised that this makes sense to me, even if I don’t really code. Writing is writing, language is language. (Tautology is tautology!)
