Descry my newest movie, which is about boring math, in the sense of boring a hole through one cube with a same sized cube, or one icosidodecahedron with its same-size self, or previously unknown polyhedra, and other platonic fetishes and horrors:

WTF is the point of an epic heat wave if it’s not even going to touch 100 °F. That’s like driving the DeLorean 87 mph

One time 20 years ago a computer science professor said something wrong (a technicality) in class, so I spent quite a lot of time proving them wrong in this video, and then just kept going, as if I don't have any self-control over my approach to projects: https://t.co/IQmHLlW30L

It’s SIGBOVIK today! I enjoyed @dwrensha’s short video about https://t.co/GFZI67bu1k (also one of my recent favorite “games”)
For SIGBOVIK 2023, I made a 3-minute explainer of my recent forays into computer-aided acronym optimization:

I was horrified to discover that I muted one of the audio tracks at a critical moment in the final upload. Please manually play "Street (Trap Remix)" at 11:58 to rectify.
A self-mockumentary on how I ran the length of every street in Pittsburgh; thousands of miles over 16 years. PAC TOM! The topic choice may not make sense if you're used to my programming videos, but then, I think it will:

The heroes behind the world’s most prestigious computer science conference cannot be stopped by Weltschmerz—and you can be not stopped too, by submitting a paper! Since it’s slightly later this year, it looks like I’ll have 7 additional days to work on my “SIGBOVIK Beach Bod”
Please join us for the sixteenth annual SIGBOVIK conference on Friday, April 8, 2022! After a prolonged consideration period, we've decided to hold the conference @CarnegieMellon this year.
