Catchup, Tapfish economics, cartography and Lojban

[imported from livejournal and backdated]

[this post got a lot of interesting/amusing comments mostly about people apparently annoyed by my decision to use Lojban as the IAL (international auxiliary language) for AEfter Ragnarok - bit sad to lose them]

Puzzles

[imported from livejournal and backdated]

Tao can do them now.  Proper jigsaw puzzles, not the usual kiddie kind of match the cutout piece to the shape on the board.  So they're only 6 piece, but on the Bob the Builder website they not only click and lock into place when you put them with other right pieces, you can also rotate them and you don't always start with them the right way up.

I have no idea when he learned how to do them.  He couldn't do them two days ago.  I was meant to show him but was in the middle of something when he asked, so I said "If that's a bit too hard right now go and do something else and come back to it later."  And by the time I got to a stage where I could help him properly he'd moved on to something else.

So.  Yeah.  I'm slightly shocked.  And pleased obviously :P

Unschooly crap

[imported from livejournal and backdated]

You can learn a lot from doing not much. As most people know, I do 3d. I seem to know bits of geometry, crap I never would have picked up at school, mainly coz it was in the higher level maths class and I suck at maths.

Currently I'm learning a little bit about Russian history (there's a doco on sometime in the next fortnight that might be helpful) and researching titanium alloys. Why? Roleplaying :P

Who says you need to go to school to get an education.
