recursion is my personal blog.

Yours truly relaxing
under the Catalunyan sun...
It’s named after a concept in computer science which involves the repeated application of a recursive procedure.

I have always been fascinated by the fractal patterns generated by recursion in mathematics and in nature (e.g. the Mandelbrot set, snowflakes, seashells, etc.).

You’ll find that I tend to explore the following topics: skateboarding, rock climbing, running, the intersection of technology and culture, feats of engineering (whether stupendous or foolhardy, and sometimes both), science, Victoriana, and local heritage or public space issues, mostly within Toronto.

I thank you for reading. I’m always interested in feedback, so do post any (non-trollish) comments you may have. I welcome factual corrections where errors have crept into the text, as well as civil expressions of countervailing opinion.

Representative posts
Certain posts are more involved, required research, or carry an emotional resonance that I’d like to think is representative of my writing and personality. I’m not sure whether they are necessarily the best posts I’ve written, but they have personal meaning for me.

About me
skater. climber. runner. dilettante. I’m also Director, HR of a great Canadian software company that’s going nuclear.

If you’d like to contact me, there are a number of ways to do so, linked in the sidebar on the right (beside my profile photograph).

Alternately, there is that ever-present stalwart, e-mail.

Godspeed!
