About

This page is about life outside formal work: mostly things I try because I have not tried them before.

Exploring, one stamp at a time

After getting a car, I started exploring more of the U.S. and visiting national parks. Along the way, I began collecting a stamp from each park I visited. I hope that years from now, they will help me remember the places I went, the views I saw, and the good times I had along the way.

Small experiments

Things I try, often because I have not tried them before.

Learning to skateboard. Tried it after moving to the U.S. Fell a lot; still enjoyable.

Knitting. Picked it up as a small experiment.

Courses I took out of curiosity
