about

Hi, I'm mizu and this is my site.

About

I go by mizu online, and often brand myself with this lime green colour.

Currently, I'm in university studying Computer Science and Linguistics, which means I use computer a lot, and use language a lot.

I enjoy creative expression through digital media, often engaging in graphic design and music production in my spare time.

I value breadth over specialization, although being a master of none may not be in very high demand these days.

I'm working on writing, particularly writing concisely. I plan to host a blog for writing-focused content.

I love mysteries.

Selected Interests

Puzzlehunts: Collections of puzzles characterized by solving a wide variety of puzzles to progress through a competition or story. Puzzlehunt puzzles may resemble crosswords, logic puzzles, and other familiar genres, but usually require deriving a word or phrase without explicit instructions. I help with EC Puzzle Hunt. The Puzzle Wiki is a great community resource for learning about puzzle hunts and common puzzles within them.

Vocaloid: A singing synthesis software, but when genericized, a "genre" of music characterized by synthesized vocals, often in Japanese. Most of my favourite music belongs here, and here are some of my current recommendations (it's so hard to provide a condensed list, and I'll definitely talk more about this elsewhere).

Conlangs: Short for constructed languages, these languages are intentionally designed rather than occuring naturally among a certain population. I have a conlang/worldbuilding project currently in the works, and when enough initial details are finalized I'll share it somewhere.
