About this time last year, I had an idea, and my idea was relatively simple: to create a space where I could express myself across the breadth and depth of my interests. Like all good ideas, it morphed and grew until it became something far greater than the original specification, and that was when I had another idea: the space needs to be manifold – a collective of smaller voices rather than one large, disjoint voice.
That led to the Null Curriculum Network, a production of Very Special Developments, which in turn is the label under which my creations all live. There are seven sites under the NCN banner and an eighth one in pre-planning.
- Route 38 – gaming and related idiocy
- Saussure’s Apprentice – the journey of a linguistic autodidact and polyglot
- Euler’s Apprentice – the journey of a mathematical autodidact
- Business Math Explained – explaining business mathematics for students, entrepreneurs, investors, and the curious
- Transfer Calculus – the alternative landscape of higher education
- tnwae’s Soapbox – my personal thoughts and opinions
- Extreme Computing – a paean to what computing used to be
NCN is a little deadpan, a little nihilistic, a little nerdy, and a little nostalgic. Join me at one of the network sites, as they come up and start accumulating content, as your interests and free time allow. Let’s reclaim the spirit of the mid-2000s Internet one blog post at a time.
