About Me
Hello! My name's Christian Morrow, and I'm a hobbyist, geek, and maker from New York.

I don't edit Wikipedia all that much (although I wish I did), however, I certainly use it often enough to warrant having my own account here. I typically make edits to pages that involve computer programming, Radiohead, or my hometown of Syracuse, New York.

I enjoy staying up late and working on a variety of projects, fueled by nothing but Red Bull and my own regrets.

By day, I'm a freelance artist and web designer, searching far and wide for odd jobs that'll keep me afloat.

By night, (and within the little spare time I have left,) I enjoy filmmaking, photography, web design, blockprinting, online chess, writing poetry, modding hardware like iPods, Dungeons & Dragons, and programming — even if I hate how tedious it can be.

I keep all of my things stored nice and neatly over at www.cmorrow.net

Things I really like
I'm an avid fan of alternative rock and jazz fusion bands like Pavement, They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds Five, Talking Heads, Soul Coughing, Jamiroquai, and Radiohead. (TL;DR: I like 1990's dad rock)

Some of my favorite shows include Community, Malcolm in the Middle, Severance, Game Changer, Good Omens, Last Week Tonight, The Good Place, and House MD.

I thought Everything Everywhere All at Once, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Little Miss Sunshine, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Barbie, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse were pretty great.

I favor Star Trek over Star Wars, Linux over Windows, and — controversially — VS Code over Vim and Emacs.

I'm a big fan of open source technology, college radio stations, typography and Oxford Commas.

I also like to read novels by Hank and John Green, Sam & Max comics, xkcd, Kurt Vonnegut's books, and everything Terry Pratchett has ever written.

Lately, I've been reading Geronimo Stilton books set in Portuguese to try and learn the language.

I think JavaScript, as useful as it can be, is one of the worst things to happen to the internet.

Reading list
I, like plenty of other people who read and contribute to this site daily, tend to fall down Wikipedia rabbit holes on a regular basis. It is for this reason that I really, really wish Wikipedia on the web had a better reading list feature (For context: you can save articles to your reading list with a browser extension, but you can only view the reading list within the Wikipedia apps for Android or iOS. As it stands right now, the feature isn't very helpful at all.)

Instead, I've elected to keep my reading list here. Admittedly, it's a pretty clunky way of doing things, but at least I won't have to pay for one of those apps that'll sync my bookmarks to my phone and laptop.

 * Contents (Start here!)
 * Outline of academic disciplines
 * Unusual articles

Systems art and other creative computing minutiae

 * Digital poetry
 * Creative coding
 * Installation art
 * Happening
 * Internet art
 * Process music
 * Participatory art
 * Interactive art
 * Information art
 * Algorithmic art
 * Process art
 * Artmedia
 * New media art
 * Evolutionary art
 * Live coding
 * Software art
 * Generative art

Things that I may or may not go back and organize

 * Atopy (philosophy)
 * Interdisciplinarity
 * Transdisciplinarity
 * Something to Do with Paying Attention
 * Linguistics
 * Metaphysics
 * Film theory
 * Media studies
 * Steganography
 * Metro (design language)
