    Shavian typing speed

    If you’ve played Shaw type, you may have noticed one frustrating aspect of the gameplay: your score is for a great part determined by luck. If you draw short words, you have fewer characters to type, and so your time is shorter, and you end up higher on the leader-board. This had been bugging me…

    The Pitman Collection

    In early April, I visited the University of Bath to look at section D of the Pitman collection. I took thousands of pictures, and will be semi-regularly adding posts about what I found there.

    On the Shave Architecture

    Accompanying yesterdayโ€™s post announcing Shave I thought it might be interesting for some of you to learn a bit more about what is going on under the hood in the tool. It will come as no surprise that it started out life as a clone of Dave Coffinโ€™s python transliterator. That tool was the best…

    On Shave

    Iโ€™ve been teasing you all with talk about my own transliteration tool for quite some time. I hadnโ€™t released it, as there were some features I really wanted to have nailed before letting you guys get your hands on it. The wait is over. I just released a web UI for my shave transliterator so…

  • English Needs the Shavian Alphabet

    English Needs the Shavian Alphabet

    Everyone who tells the story of the Shavian Alphabet retells the story of the Shaw Will and alphabet competition. It’s a lot like filming a new Batman movie: the theater, a boy and his parents, a dark alleyway, a gun, and pearls raining to the ground. They’re both dramatic. What the Shaw story doesn’t ever…

    Shcrabble

    I should say upfront that I neither enjoy nor am particularly good at Scrabble โ€” and I suspect those two facts are not entirely unrelated. None of which stopped me from spending yesterday building Shcrabble, an online, real-time multiplayer Scrabble game played entirely in the Shavian alphabet, in a single sitting with Claude Code. It’s…
