CURRENT MISSION

To find what's meaningful in life

ABOUT ME

I like learning new things and meeting interesting people (pretty much everyone is interesting :)

I am currently learning drawing. In the near future I'm interested in learning sculpting, singing, and playing an instrument (maybe the "recorder" flute since it's very small and easy to carry?)

I decided to put my drawings in Instagram:

PHILOSOPHY

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." (Plato)

Interests

The art and science of art and expression -:-)

I have put a fair amount of my life to software engineering and programming. I maintain an interest in artificial intelligence.
However, since late 2016 I've re-evaluated my priorities and I've taken interest in many arts.

Otherwise I run to stay fit, and I like dancing.
I've taken a bunch of lessons in salsa, bachata, merengue, cuarteto, tango, contact improvisation. But still, I take classes and alas also dance quite infrequently. So I'm not an expert.
I also know how to play DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), though I mainly just played In the Groove.

Music, Movies, and Books

Diaspora, Permutation City, Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan. Blindsight by Peter Watts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running at midnight in light rain in solitude and tranquility, with only the diffuse glow of sodium streetlights illuminating the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn new languages at some point but not sure which ones. Beyond that, people have various interesting experiences and have various skills and I would be thrilled to hear about them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a Finnish pancake for example:)) (like a proper oven-sized one, not like those wussy pancakes they call pancakes in English hehe)
