 As it turns out, the publication date of my paper was exactly 10-years-minus-a-day since my Ph.D. thesis defense. I'd planned on travelling back to Carnegie Mellon to give this talk live at SIGBOVIK 2019, but unfortunately came down with a nasty cold-and-cough so I had to cancel my trip. :( Perhaps I can give a belated talk at next year's conference.

   * Gardening! Last August I randomly planted some peppermint in a railing container on my balcony, and it went gangbusters. This spring I've actually planned out a whole porch-garden (like [Stardew Valley but real life](https://twitter.com/sevandyk/status/1109121188079427585)). Last year's mint has started growing again, and I've added spearmint and mojito mint. I've also got two types of peas, two mixes of salad greens, and spinach planted. Later I'll be planting carrots, basil, and rosemary. The peas just started sprouting a couple days ago, which is exciting!

Our group is still only a few scenarios in, but we're enjoying it so far. SO MANY HEX TILES. I'm also getting ready to paint our party's miniatures, which is another (potential) new hobby of mine; more to come in a future newsletter, I suspect :)

   * Video games: just started Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice on PS4. Recently completed (and really enjoyed) New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Nintendo Switch (though Nintendo seems to be trying to give Google a run for their money on ridiculous product names). I've also been playing Total War: Warhammer 2 regularly, and Splatoon 2 from time to time. I tried getting into XCOM 2 & enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I'm interested enough to finish the campaign. I keep going back to Total War when I want something in the tactical / strategy genre.

 Thanks for following along with me on this adventure! Hopefully my next update will come more quickly, and be less wordy! I've wanted to make videogames since I was Literally A Kid, so I'm quite excited to finally be doing that full-time, and to hopefully share something good with all of you. When I'm at a stage where I want alpha testers, I'll definitely be asking here first.

 We answer this question in the affirmative: it **is possible** to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

I want him to splash in muddy puddles and smear paint on the walls and read novels under the covers way too late at night. I grew up too soon and wish I'd had more time to be a kid.
