About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be constantly toiling all one's lifetime, without seeing the fruit of one's labour, and to be weary and worn out with his labour, without knowing where he is going to - is it not a deplorable case?

ABOUT ME

Hi everybody--I'm a nerdy but personable individual with hyper-eclectic tastes and an appreciation for absurdity.

I recently graduated from college, where I studied linguistics, computer science, and Chinese. I eventually want to move to China to live for a while.

I spend my free time reading a mixture of programming guidebooks and ancient Chinese philosophy, as well as listening to literally all kinds of music in all kinds of languages.

I don't drink, or smoke, or do any drugs, but I am fine if you do.

PHILOSOPHY

I follow the "Mr. T after school special" philosophy: Stay in school, don't do drugs, listen to your parents.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the sun set from the highest point in Beijing, on a horse, accompanied by a 10 year old zither prodigy, a magician, and a school teacher.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Chinese, talk about any of the all-too-many wikipedia articles I've read, or tell you how to make a 9-pound gummy bear.
