Vötgil is a reduced form of my older constructed language. Every word contains exactly three letters. For example: "Fam" (family), "Vim" (important), and "Nos" (notice). Vötgil contains no antonyms, and instead uses the descriptor "Vöt" to invert the meaning of a word. "VötHap" (anti happy) means sad, "VötByf" (anti before) means after. The lexicon is minimalistic; more complex ideas can be expressed with several words. "SmeGon" (smell organ) means nose; "LanBum" (land bump) means hill. The alphabet consists of grayscale elements in a compact grid. The small word list, simple grammar, familiar words, and efficient writing system should make Vötgil desirable for learning.

For much of the last millennium, Yiddish was the lingua franca of the Ashkenazi Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. A unique blend of old German, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic languages, it reflects the religious, social, and economic challenges and triumphs of the Jewish people. While Hebrew was reserved for prayer, Yiddish is the language of study, conversation and celebration.

Lid is an image dithering program that is written in Python.

Lid was inpired by the solar powered version of [Lowtech Magazine]. I really loved their simple approach to images. They keep the filesize down using single color dithered images and then apply color filters to brighten up the page. That passes on the color work to the client rather than being a part of the web request (more data being sent).

Globasa is the product of an elaborate thought experiment. It envisions the linguistic outcome of a hypothetical scenario whereby 1,000 people from around the world are randomly selected to permanently inhabit an island. What would the community's language look like within three generations? This is Globasa's guiding vision.
