Description:

I used to design and sell custom dice, but these days only make them for a few select customers (you may find many of my designs at Math Art Fun). I was also instrumental in the invention of, and research behind, Go First Dice.Puzzle PartiesFor over a decade I organized and hosted Puzzle Parties at which participants from around the country would descend upon Auburn, Alabama and spend a weekend deciphering clues, running around town, and solving cryptic puzzles. I discontinued these events in 2018, but I still organize similar (smaller) events for various clients during the year (for example, I design the High School AMP'd Challenge for Auburn University each Spring).ScrabbleI also play Scrabble competitively. My enthusiasm for tournament Scrabble waxes and wanes, but as I type this, I have currently begun playing again. More information on my Scrabble playing is available.Word PlayWord play also fascinates me beyond playing Scrabble. I have webpages documenting hundreds of palindromes that I've invented and another website that I occasionally update with logological curiosities.Java ProgrammingI started work for Sun Microsystems, Inc. in late 1995, a few months after they first released the Java programming language. While I was not on the Java development team within that company, I was, probably, one of the first thousand or so people in the world to start programming in that language. At the time, the main use for Java was putting "applets" into webpages, and I had a whole website dedicated to exhibiting and distributing applets that I had written for myself or clients. These days most web browsers do not support the inclusion of applets in webpages, but if yours does, you may peruse my ancient "applet depot". Please do not contact me for possible Java programming services; I only program for myself these days.MathematicsMost people probably know me these days as Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Auburn University in Alabama.WalkingI like to walk. A lot. If you live in Auburn, Alabama, there is a decent chance you've seen me walking around town. I've even have a website to document all of the walking I do and the quirky things I've encountered while doing so: Offbeat Auburn.MiscellanyI am not on any "social media" websites, but if you are dying to know more about me, here's some trivia. I prefer cats to dogs. I prefer cats to people. I do not carry a mobile phone. There is a Wikipedia page about me; it is not completely accurate. I had no part in writing it (and the information on it is just a subset of this website). I also have a very brief page on the Internet Movie Database.ContactIf you need to contact me, you may email me a eric@ericharshbarger.org. I might reply.
