As you may have seen in previous year-in-reviews, I’ve been on a lifelong quest to read more because I think it’s one of the most efficient ways to acquire knowledge. Unfortunately, in the modern age it’s hasn’t been so easy. When I was growing up, it was…

After writing my latest year-in-review, I realized that I had already done eight of them! It feels like yesterday when I started writing them. Given that this body of writing is probably the most personal and raw prose about me on the Internet, I thought…

Personal Family: Similar to last year, my home life has primarily been focused on my daughter. And while it feels like that’s the only thing I do, if I think about it, that’s exactly how I want it to be! The last few years have passed by so fast, and it’s…

Thankfully 2022 has felt a bit more like a “normal” year. I saw slightly more people in person, got into a groove at work, and continued to play and have fun with my daughter. It’s not quite like it was before the pandemic but it doesn’t feel strange…

Back in high school and undergrad, I was an excellent student: high marks, attended every class, and generally did what a model student ought to do. [1] I was also pretty cocky — at least in the narrow domain of academic related things. Although I didn’t…
