A short list of things I’m interested in.
Games, traditional, board & card
I collect playing cards and also games — as in, rules for them.
My main site about games is Ways to Play. For cards, I focus mainly on (East/South-East) Asian decks as they have been underrepresented in existing books and I would like to correct that:
- See the articles on Hanafuda for more on Japanese cards.
- The Chinese card articles are mostly yet to be written.
- There is some information about the Ceki deck used in Malaysia/Singapore and Indonesia.
Languages & Unicode
I am by no means a linguist — and am mostly monolingual — but languages are rather key to many of these other interests so linguistic things pop up all over the place.
Programming & Software
I like tools and techniques with high leverage. For developing software at any kind of multiple-source-file scale, to me this means static typing.
