## On the index page

- [Mallarmé's 'Album Leaf'](https://robert-chiniquy.github.io/): From Stéphane Mallarmé, Collected Poems and Other Verse, trans. E.H. and A.M. Blackmore.
- [A San Pedro bloom from 2007](https://robert-chiniquy.github.io/): These cacti used to bloom only every 5-10 years. For the last 8 years or so though I have been seeing many, many blooms, almost every year, sometimes multiple times a year. I wish I had more time to spend in gardens.
- [ScaleFT](https://robert-chiniquy.github.io/): ScaleFT was an infrastructure identity / security company some friends and I started in 2015; the work beginning long before 2015 of course. We became part of Okta in 2018. This image is from one of our engineering blog posts, illustrated by angelblue05. It reminds me of all our moments along the way.
- [Reading for a sense of self](https://robert-chiniquy.github.io/): I miss the freedom to just read book after book, and reflect.
- [Confirmed.](https://twitter.com/robert_chiniquy/status/1393377860971233288): I can confirm that @robert_chiniquy is indeed a person, with hope for the world.

- [An 18-piece Burr puzzle with a 77-step solution](https://robert-chiniquy.github.io/): In early 2003, a friend and I wrote some code to design 18 piece Burr puzzles. This puzzle was one of our favorites due to certain properties of the design which made them good physical puzzles to build. For example, to remove the first piece takes 17 steps, which means the puzzle is not going to fall apart in your hands or even if you just shake it randomly.
- [Some poker odds I charted](https://gist.github.com/robert-chiniquy/eb47431d3d99fdf5432dacb213483194): Hold'em, seven-card stud, and deuces wild at four to six players: how often a hand shows up, how often it takes the pot, and whether it holds up.
- [My notes on windsurfing around the Bay](https://gist.github.com/robert-chiniquy/b25bffb5300ce794f198): Lessons, launches, wind sites, and which months blow at Berkeley, Alameda, Coyote Point, and Sherman Island.
