My Projects

Writing of Physics and Philosophy

My writing on various topics in physics and philosophy may be found here.

I also am quite fond of this write up of mine, regarding the nature of unit systems and their interrelationship with the structure of physical laws.

Mathy Stuff

I'm currently building a prolog script which keeps track of the relationships between various Lie algebras and Lie groups.

Quantum Computing: here you can find my personal quantum computing suite written in Mathematica.

Fun Stuff

Public Whiteboard: If you've made it this far feel free to leave a message for me on my public whiteboard!

WordConnector: This program is a lot of fun to play with for anyone who likes word games. It finds the shortest path between two words based on the entered words rhymes, synonyms, etc.

Spotify Pairings: This repository is a selection of python scripts which automatically queue up songs I believe should always be played together.
