I’m just some guy with a blog; I don’t particularly expect people to care about what I think, but it’s good for me to get it out anyway and sometimes I learn new things from the comments people leave.

I’m interested in politics, computers (especially programming), math, and linguistics. The title of the blog is just some random two-word phrase; topology is one of my favorite parts of math, and I’m definitely an amateur at it. Maybe someday I’ll actually write a post about it.
