Programming Is Not Math
When I learned to program, back when dinosaurs walked the earth and the internet had no cats, there was an idea: if you were good at math, you’d be good at programming. I was great at math as a kid, but perhaps because I didn’t like it much, no one steered me towards programming. I…

Posted a note for GC56KEX The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments
This checkin to GC56KEX The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Cache that REQUIRES two people: should I explain why it requires two people before they set out, or not?
Hi, Founditt!
Next month, I expect to launch a multicache with a twist: it requires two people to go to two different waypoints at the same time in order to determine the coordinates of the final stage - it's not physically possible for one person to do it alone (even if they go to one … -

Review of Kryptonite New York 3000 Lock NYL with Bracket
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Kryptonite New York 3000 Lock NYL with Bracket Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A super-hardy, bulletproof lock with few downsides

Review of Mini Bench Vice
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Mini Bench Vice Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but a little fragile: be gentle!
The table clamp portion doesn't open very far, and if you accidentally try (even gently) to open it further than its full extent, the foot pops off and never re-attaches quite as …
