An article on github.io gave all the instructions I needed to get the components above working, and it's a great tutorial. However, I needed to tweak a few commands to get them working, so I'm creating this post here and perhaps will save someone else an afternoon's research if they can find this […]

No longer a superfan of Google
Right about the time that Google eliminated their "don't be evil" motto a few years ago, I finally began to lose hope in them, after years of unbounded enthusiasm. It was kind of a final straw thing. From then til now, my previous superfan enthusiasm with all their amazing technology -- […]
A little anarchy in your pocket
I might, could, possibly know someone involved in working on the backend of this MineCraft Pocket Edition server together in their spare time. Or I might not. Either way, if you're into Minecraft, and you found yourself here reading this sentence, you may enjoy taking a tour of this Nukkit server. […]

Salomon Maimon's finite intellect is akin to Bernardo Kastrup's alters
My previous post was about a nice little tidbit from Salomon Maimon where I found him describing a way of reading Immanual Kant that was analogous to a way I study math (while protecting an internal intuitive coherence which I feel certain would become fragmented if I read other writers more […]
How to retain intuitive coherence while studying deeply
I just encountered this quote from Salomon Maimon, and it expresses the way I have approached mathematics (which is I believe different from the way most people approach it). The reason I learned to study this way is that I believe so intensely what I believe, I must be careful what I believe. For […]
The logical necessity of honoring your parents
Perhaps it can be expressed in acorn form first, but there is a large and complex tree buried in this insight, which will take a lot of room to fully express. To start, we have this realization that is predicated in a sense of survival, a sense of continuity. Whether it arises in reaction to a […]
Diving in to React JS
After circling around it for weeks, looking at every other option I could find, I finally decided that ReactJS has what I want to carry me forward for the next few projects, possibly years if it goes as well as I think. I fell in love with JSX the moment I saw it, we shoulda been using that long […]
Little known insight into Galileo's paradigm shift
Well, little known to me at least. Had no idea that Galileo was the one who invented mathematical physics. I found this insight fascinating. Emphasis mine: Perhaps the most important move in the scientific revolution was Galileo’s declaration that mathematics is the language of natural science. But […]
