Chaotic Hobbies

One stop shop to catalog memories, ideas, and plans relating to my hobbies. I don't enjoy writing as much, so posts will tend to focus on the visual side of documentation.

Cards Against Game Theory

Cards Against Humanity was a great game in highschool and always a good laugh. Now, the idea of bringing it out during a game night, regardless of the group of people, is likely to end in widespread groans. Sitting on my shelf unused for over 5 years, I sought to design a new game using the same cards.

Solving the Rubik's Cube

Growing up, I never learned nor sought to explore the solution to a Rubik’s Cube; the puzzle simply didn’t pique my interest. Recently, however, I picked it up again and was extremely motivated to solve it. Something clicked in my brain and it became a tractable problem. However, I didn’t want to just look up and memorize the solution, but instead organically discover a solution.

Adirondacks

The Adirondack Mountains (ADK) are a mountain range in upstate New York and I’d argue the best hiking on the East coast. Home to 46 high peaks, summiting one of them quickly starts a drive to summit all of them, earning a legendary title “46er.”
