If I've achieved nothing else in my life, you can't say I didn't occasionally blog about maths.

My favourite bits on The Aperiodical that I was responsible for:
1) It all started with a column on @Samuel_Hansen's blog, The Internet Maths Aperiodical - a collection of random maths stuff I'd seen. I moved those over to aperiodical.com: aperiodical.com/category/colum…

But those are just the things I did. The thing I'm most proud of is the huge gang of other people who have used the site to share their own fun maths over the years, and the connections it's helped to make.
