This site was started in 1999 at (the now migrated) dmiessler.com, and initially included writings that I had started from 1996. It now serves as the umbrella and container for all of my life projects.

Logo
- The logo (new as of April 2021) represents circuitry, a neural net, and connections. The first part of the logo is an upside-down “U”, and the second part is an “L”. The orphaned dot in the top right solidifies the square shape of the logo and represents a connection that has yet to be made. It’s a reminder that there’s always something more to learn.
Fonts
- The site’s fonts are Equity and Concourse, by Matthew Butterick.
Music
- Music for Unsupervised Learning is by Zomby.
Concepts
- The show is called Unsupervised Learning, which is a type of Machine Learning that helps identify patterns in things that might previously have been missed. It also doubles as a concept of unstructured curiosity.

Notes
- Thanks to my love for both the naming of Unsupervised Learning, and also for the brilliant logo modification suggestion in April of 2021.
