Logic Puzzles

I run a weekly newsletter called Paradox Puzzles, featuring a new logic puzzle every week. For the uninitiated, logic puzzles are puzzles in which you have to solve for the truth, using the logic of language and deduction to guide your way.

I have been making logic puzzles since high school, and many of the ones featured in the newsletter are modified versions of those puzzles I made when I should have been paying attention in various classes. This project is currently on a brief hiatus but it will return once I’ve got a sweet enough backlog of new puzzles.

Book/Film/Music Reviewing

I love lists, I love rating things, I love cataloging things, etc etc.

I document my film-watching over on Letterboxd.

I catalog all my reading over on Goodreads.

And I keep track of music mostly in my own head, but I do have an insane, color-coded spreadsheet of my top 100 songs list, which I have been updating yearly since 2020.

Set Building

I started set building at age fourteen: four years as a carpenter in the On Tour Company at Sanford H. Calhoun High School, four years as a TD for 13 student theatre productions at Brown University, a year as a volunteer at the Mill Mountain Theatre in Roanoke, VA, and a year as a carpenter at Rivertown Theaters in Kenner, LA.
