Aw, Snap! I was feeling great. I had just announced my bilingual word game, Bilingdle, on social media, and the immediate response was overwhelmingly positive, especially among my friends and family on Facebook.

I first learned about Wordle in early 2022, and like so many others, I started to play daily. Eventually I discovered Quordle, which is like Wordle but with 4 words at the same time, and that became my daily game.

ClozeMaker is a small Windows application I threw together in 2017 to make the process of making cloze-deletion flashcards in Anki easier.

In 2014, I wrote a quick static site to help speed up the process of making flashcards in the way suggested by Gabriel Wyner in his book Fluent Forever.

The GMTK Game Jam happened once again in July 2022, and like the previous year, Thomas and I decided to participate.

RhinoSpike is a site that allows language learners to get recorded audio in their target language. The audio is submitted by other users of the site who are native speakers of that language, and usually are also learning another language and seeking recording audio in their target language.

Babelhut was a blog created by my friend Thomas and myself to document our language learning journey online. Our about page from the site said this:

This page contains files and links referred to in my Polyglot Gathering 2016 presentation. Video of the presentation Slides View my slides on Google Docs

This is largely a note to myself, to find later. This has already happened to me several times and I forget how to resolve this every time.
