Intro 
 A couple years ago, I learned about Aphantasia, which according to the wikipedia article , is “the inability to voluntarily visualize mental images”. From the moment that I heard about it, I was pretty sure I had it. For one, I always just assumed that “visualizing” or “picturing” things was a metaphor. 
 Below is a representation on different…

 In which I make a mistake 
 I’m currently taking AP Lang at my school, a class which typically involves writing rhetorical analyses of nonfiction text and constructing arguments. My teacher, however, has figured that the actual curriculum given by College Board is a bit light for a class taking up a whole year. As such, she also…
Intro 
 We’ve basically finished the Conway’s Game of Life project. All we need to do now is make it look better, with some nicer css. 
 Some quick changes 
 I’m hosting on cloudflare, so I changed the html file to index.html 
 You may have noticed that the grid currently goes off the screen a bit. To change that, I’ve made some quick CSS and Python changes.…
Intro 
 This is a sequel to my previous post . I’ve decided that I may as well try to make the game of life look good. If you’re following along, I would suggest going back to the first post. 
 Goals: 
 
 Create a web-based UI for the Game of Life 
 Make the board fit screen width and length 
 Allow users to make custom setups, rather than just randomly…
What is Brainf***? 
 Brainf*** is a esoteric, Turing complete programming language involving only 8 commands and two lists. Because it is Turing complete, it is theoretically possible to compute any task doable by a computer in Brainf***, though it is significantly harder to do tasks here than in say, Python or C. It was initially designed with the goal of making the smallest possible…
What is Conway’s game of life? 
 Conway’s Game of Life is a simulation that runs on an infinite two dimensional grid. Each square in the grid can be in one of two states, dead or alive. On each turn, the cells interact with their neighbors, following a few rules. 
 
 
 Every living cell with less than two live neighbors dies because of underpopulation

Intro 
 After a few months having comments on this site, I have now decided to remove them. This is because my github account was temporarily suspended, probably because I kept reloading comments and having giscus load over and over. This broke a lot of stuff, including cloudflare, which couldn’t connect to my github repo. Because of this, I have removed comment from my site until I find…
Intro 
 I recently got this device from Renasight, which appears to be some kidney screening service or something. I wasn’t really interested in the product, my kidneys are fine, thank you very much, but the device itself is pretty interesting. It’s basically just an mp4 player wrapped in advertisements, and I wanted to see how easy it was to say, change the video inside to a…
Begin anecdote 
 I attempted to make a schedule today, which I felt very proud about. I started off by working on some SAT prep, then I did my social studies homework, and even started a physics assignment. That was the point at which everything derailed. 
 I randomly found about about Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality , which is basically a Harry Potter fanfic except that…
Intro 
 I’ve had this blog for around one and a half years, and while it is true that I keep abandoning it for months at a time, I think I should still try to make it as good as possible. According to Cloudflare, I get around 70 unique visitors a day. I’m almost 100% certain that these are all bots, but there is a slim chance that some of you reading this are in fact human. Because…

 
 
 
 
 NOTE: This post is more of a project log than a tutorial on how to make a notes app for windows xp. I will try to document my progress as I go along, but its important to note that I may skip steps if I feel they are trivial, and while my code will be put on Github, I might not always state the exact logic behind specific sections of it.

 Intro 
 Recently, I recieved an old Windows XP machine. I was pretty excited to use it, but I will admit that it sat around in my garage for a week or two before I brought it inside. I wasn’t too sure what I could do with an old machine like that, but I figured I could have some fun with it. I decided that, if nothing else, I could at least play some…
About 
 This is a little rss feed I made to teach myself flask. Currently, it can’t save your feeds past a single session because I had to make them temporary files for Vercel, but in the future, I’ll try to store feeds in cookies instead.
Fortune Cookies 
 I went to a Chinese restaurant yesterday, and got a fortune cookie that actually contained a fortune. This cookie didn’t have any of that “Smile, and you will be happier” fortunes. This thing was a real fortune. It said “The next meal you eat will be your best”. 
 Later that day, I went to a mexican restaurant, which may not even have…
Podcasts 
 Its summer time in the US, and that means one thing. No school! Now, I consider myself a fairly responsible highschooler. I don’t spend too much time doomscrolling Reddit. I don’t lie on a couch, playing fortnite for eight hours at a time. I don’t even have Tiktok. I do have one minor fault however. As I am slightly lacking in the “Wanna hang out at my house…

 A 3d printed wallet I made. I made it in Freecad, which took too many hours of my life. It comes in two parts and requires an elastic band to hold it together. Here’s the Github link .

Introduction 
 This post, despite its name, is not about the feasibility of time travel. This post is, rather, about a common theory dealing with time travel paradoxes. People often claim that if someone time travelled to kill Hitler, for example, his parent would adopt, or someone else would come to power, and kill the six million people in an equivalent scenario. I believe that this frankly…

Tensions rise 
 After the first human-sheep war, tensions seemed to die down between the two species. By the year 2053, trade began between the sheep and the humans. The moose had control of Canada and the northern U.S, the emus controlled australia, and the sheep had what remained of what was agreed on by the sixth treaty of Paris. As trade emerged, humans began to see sheep as potential…
Events leading to the beginning of the war 
 The first human-sheep war began on August 31, 2032. Humanity, who had enslaved the sheep for thousands of years, had grown complacent, and was not aware of the threat posed by the sheep, considering them to be stupid animals. Unbeknownst to them, the sheep had gathered under the leadership of an unknown sheep. By the year 2030, the sheep revolution…
Introduction to the third grader 
 A common misconception regarding the third grader is that this group of people is a mere subclass of the elementary schooler. This, however, is a mistake, as the group known as the third grader is in fact more different from other groups than a subclass could rightly be. This group of people can once again be divided into male and female, each with their…
Intro to this blog 
 Basically, I made this site in order to put on words what I’m currently thinking. If this sounds a little broad, it’s because it is. For example, if a certain ChatGPT prompt, such as

Problem Solving steps in Physics 
 1. Read the problem carefully 
 
 Don’t get tripped up and miss a value or what you’re trying to solve 
 
 2. Draw a diagram of the problem 
 
 This helps you visualize the problem (duh) 
 Makes you less likely to mess up 
 
 3. Write down all given information 
 
 You need to know what you have in order…

Who are you, anyway? 
 I’m Josh, a high schooler who decided last year to start a blog. I’m interested in technology, old games, and books. When I’m not wasting my time mindlessly doomscrolling on Reddit, I’m usually reading a book or trying to teach myself something, like how to make a blog or how to design a wallet in Freecad. I like making things, and I intend this blog to be both a log of…
