I generally see my microblog posts to be pretty normal, but my mother asks me about the things I say on here in a very concerned way.
Hi mom. This list is pinned for you to help get rid of some confusion

* GNU is not a drug

* I cannot download drugs

* I am not suicidal, it is just part of the joke.

* I am grammatically incorrect, not mentally ill.

* I am not part of a gang.

* The flashing button that says "Fix my computer" is NOT to be pressed.

* I may not always show it, but I love you.

1:30 in the morning. Oh hey, it's my birthday!

I'm going to sleep.

Listened to "American Music" by the Violent Femmes too many times today.

Assert your dominance by smiling at people you pass on the sidewalk.

I don't really play games, and I know last year I said I'd never get one of these, but... It was $10 at the thrift store.

It's no MC2, either. This thing's got metal, weight, & resistance.

It's oddly solid compared to other gaming peripherals of the 90's (it's USB, too!)

"The Expert", a popular comedy sketch. One of my favourites.

Jason Funderberker is too relatable.

Not going to lie, I was that kid.

I really liked Magic of Math, by Arthur Benjamin, so I got some more #books on casual #math.

* Measurement, by Paul Lockhart

* Prelude to Mathematics, by W.W. Sawyer

* Joy of X, by Steven Strogatz

They're all very good so far.

Heads up, the 2012 Harvard print of Measurement has such a nice font & line height, it's almost distracting!

When I was learning the basics of #Lisp, I got confused between "let" and "set" a lot.

I mean, you "set" your glass on the table, and "let" it get filled with water.

But it's the opposite in Lisp

You "let" your glass *exist* on the table, and "set" its *value* to (cons water glass).
