Howdy.
I am known to most people as Sai.
My main conlang-related endeavors are:
- the Language Creation Conference, which I started and ran nearly by myself,
- the LiveJournal Conlangs community, which I started and still own and moderate,
- a non-linear fully two-dimensional writing system thesis-in-making, and
- an old essay on the design of an ideal language.
I am mostly a meta-conlanger; I am interested primarily in conlang as technology, that is, as a means of pushing the boundaries of what language is capable of doing. In my organizer role, however, I am supportive of all sorts of conlanging (not just my own), and try to encourage diverse perspectives on linguistics, conlanging, and the world in general.
I'm currently organizing the 2nd LCC. If you or your nearby institution(s) can possibly host it, or if you could speak on a topic (large or small), please let me know.
If you want to know more about me personally, see the post on my LiveJournal about that very thing.
