There's a great numberphile with Persi Diaconis all about shuffling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxJubaijQbI The extra footage is fantastic, too.
Where can I find other things you've written? I tried searching your website, but it looks like the blog is pretty inactive.
On another note - I saw that you used Idyll for this site. I haven't heard of it but am very interested - what do you think about it?
This was a side project for me. I'm doing my PhD right now so all my current writing is funneled into my research. But Idyll is great for these types of articles, so I'm looking forward to doing more in the future. The creator of Idyll is also a good friend of mine so I may be a bit biased :)
Here's the homepage: https://idyll-lang.org/

A small preview: after leaving high school at 14 to travel as a magician, a little more than a decade later he managed to get into grad school at Harvard, largely due to a letter of recommendation about his magic abilities (apparently that's a thing).
I also really enjoyed that he was shy revealing his background in magic to other Stanford faculty until he discovered that Paul Lévy also studied perfect shuffling [2].
