Finally writing an #introduction . I am Di (she/her). I enjoy reading and writing #poetry and #CreativeNonfiction, and I love making #zines.
In my life I practice being as compassionate as possible. I like #mindfulness and #Buddhism (#ZenBuddhism). I love squirrels, birds, nature, all that jazz. I like jazz too
I don't like or use corporate social media. Mastodon seems pretty neat so far. It would be awesome to make more #zine connections

Hi y'all! So I'm a little late to this hashtag being trending, but I wanted to make an #introduction for my Mastodon account.
My name is John, known on the internet as Grasshopper Man. I'm a practitioner of North American #Indigenous spirituality, and my tentative spiritual name is John Yellow Spider. I'm of #Quapaw and Miami #tribal descent.
I also practice #ZenBuddhism, and have been for almost 2 years now. I hope to receive #Jukai soon and receive a Dharma name as well.
Nice to meet y'all!
I'm just discovering Thich Nhat Hanh. I heard about him when he died earlier this year, but that's about all. I don't know why I didn't know more about him until now, but this short documentary is beautiful:
#ThichNhatHanh #mindfulness #peace #meditation #Vietnam #Buddhism #ZenBuddhism #EngagedBuddhism
So….I thought I would post some hashtags that I can pin to my profile:
#ebikes #sciencefiction #coffee #frenchpress #fantasybooks #UrbanFantasy #eclecticmusic #intentionalcommunities #zenbuddhism #hardcorezen #Recovery #foodies #cycling #meditation #kindness #exercise
Alright, so here's my #reintroduction:
My name is John. I identify as a #Cherokee and Miami #AmericanIndian who also practices #ZenBuddhism. I'm currently working to enroll in the #CherokeeNation.
I write #poetry and occasionally do #SketchArt and #drawing. I may post some of my poems here as well as any drawings I may make. #ArtistsOnMostodon
I'm a member of #NarcoticsAnonymous and would love to reconnect with my #recoveryposse again after my last account got mysteriously deleted.
GTMYA!
Hey folks, help me find Buddhists on Mastodon. Who should I be following?

Softcore computer hardware geeking
I posted in my #weblog!
Very softcore #hardware #geekery about my new #Framework #laptop.

For those encountering my content for the first time: my nine-part series on Infocom's A Mind Forever Voyaging (1985) begins here. Two posts remain. This is already the most that a single author has written about this game, and the first concerted effort to focus exclusively on textual and cultural analysis.
The intended audience is not academic, though some humanists and knowledge workers might enjoy it.

But binary notation itself is not admissible in this technical sense. And, to repeat, addition, multiplication etc. are not computable with respect to binary notation, and Turing fixed this in his errata paper.
I guess time to pin an #Introduction up.
I am father to 3 amazing children who surprise me constantly with wonders, and husband to a wife who has taught me so much about love and pedagogy.
I am lead of the Windows Graphics and Compute Kernel at Microsoft, where we support heterogenous compute devices like GPUs and NPUs through the WDDM and MCDM driver models.
My education is in physics and philosophy, where I sought to understand the relationships between language, meaning, and science. My interests span mathematics (hypergeometric functions, combinatorics, algebraic geometry, (co)homology, topos theory, domain theory, sieves, and a variety of others), physical sciences (foundational theories like QM, general relativity, string theory, LQG, as well as systems sciences like materials science and solid state, computational chemistry, and neurophysiology), social sciences (economics, linguistics, social structure), and a number of other areas. I’ve been called “a scanner not a sinker”, which though insulting may also hold some truth. Ask me about generalized trigonometry or my theory of a Machian distance-only interpretation of classical and quantum mechanics that does not reify space!
I do a lot of scientific modeling, most recently focused on the structuralization of bias and bigotry. Sometimes I publish them or share with friends. See, for instance
https://medium.com/@n.k.h.73908513321516/the-gender-gap-bias-simulation-and-choice-8dd4043cd764
to expose the error in many misogynistic explanations for the wage gap or
and
on the misuse of heritability, polygenic scores, and GWAS in race science.
Recent modeling has focused on social choice theory and a folk mathematical resolution to Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem that is otherwise not widely known.
I love outsider art and am always looking for new music, visual art, interactive / tactile pieces, and sculpture. Please feel free to share any of your loves!
I think that’s enough to throw out there for now.
