Obligatory "I'm new here" post. I'll post some other things soon; posting on Facebook has been feeling aversive and it's the only social media I ever use.

Meanwhile, in what may be news to those of you who know me: I have a child now! Interested in talking to other child-havers. She's two months old. This part is honestly kind of boring - babies start out _extremely_ limited in their abilities. Her most recent milestone is that she can now somewhat consistently move her hand to her mouth. I expect it to get more interesting later. She's cute though!

I'm also interested in programming languages (I'm one of three editors of the JavaScript specification), math, language, and reasoning about the world in general. I have a draft of a long essay about reading the news I need to get around to finishing someday and if that sounds interesting to you feel free to poke me about it. I might end up using this instance for that kind of somewhat-less-polished-but-therefore-actually-existing writing.
