My Passions

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

I enjoy computer games, mathematics, knitting, and fantasy novels. Some of my favorite games are World of Warcraft, Ascension, and spider solitaire. I'm a discrete geometer by training but am interested in all sorts of puzzles and popular mathematics. I prefer knitting lace, but have mastered many different styles of knitting. My favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien and C.J. Cherryh.

Two small crocheted octopi. The one on the left is orange with blue eyes and a big grin. The one on the right shades from pink on the upper left to purple on the lower right and has widely spaced blue eys and pursed red lips. A small stuffed yumekui wearing a purple kimono with fuschia sash. The kimono is decorated with gold characters. This is a screenshot from the game World of Warcraft. A dranei female in a pink dress is mounted on a ghost horse with purple barding. The horse stands on a purple surface with an autumnal countryside in the background.
A person wearing graduation robes faces away from the camera. The robes are black, the master's hood is lined in red. The person's hair falls to the middle of their back. The mortarboard is decorated with the words 'SHE PERSISTED'. A two masted sailboat, fore-and-aft rigged, with two large gaff rigged sails. The aft mast is taller and has a triangular sail above the gaff riged one. The boat has two jibs. A smaller boat is attached to the stern, and another smaller boat hangs by the rail at the center of the ship. A pennant flies from the top of the aft mast, and an American flag flies from the aft edge of the end of the aft gaff. A crocheted afghan of equilateral triangles, joined seven at a vertex. The center is blue, surrounded by a ring of black triangles. The third ring of triangles alternates pairs of red triangles with triples of green, separated by triples of black.
