About

Weston Beecroft
Hello—thanks for stopping by. I'm Weston, a programmer-philosopher kind of person. I used to program video games, then I messed up my wrists via excessive typing and mousing, and got into math, CS theory, linguistics, and philosophy. Now I think too much and write about it here.
