Going to dash off a quick entry, because my focus/energy is still kind of... not what I want it to be.

One thing that I've been pondering in the last week is the idea of a recreational math project themed around bases. Like, you know how there's base-independent recreational math, like amicable numbers or perfect numbers, and there's base-dependent stuff, like palindromes, digit sums, that kind of thing? Well, there are also efforts to develop various "weird" bases, and I wondered what it would look like to analyze the base-dependent properties and concepts in the context of "weird" bases.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how I'd want to present it. I guess I'm currently trying to figure out what would have an engaging presentation, but not be too onerous to edit. Is it going to be a wiki? It might be a wiki.

Anyway, I should get to bed now, and continue this line of thought later.

Good night.
