About 10 years ago, I started this blog as a school assignment and pet project. It was for a new media class, and I think it was published on Tumblr. Like many people, I just wanted to create a log and space to reflect on all of those discoveries and tangents while studying or working at my desk. Those were some pretty focused days, often just me, some instant ramen and my student laptop. Life was far from demanding back then, but I certainly took on my own little challenges and loved what I was doing.
Since then, I’ve taken on a handful of jobs and wandered around the industry until I, unfortunately, got laid off earlier this year. I had some interesting projects along the way, but naturally there was a lot of stress. During that time, I mostly just tried to focus on my career and personal well-being, but I sadly dropped all of my pet projects. It was nice becoming financially self-sufficient, and certainly an opportunity to work with so many more kinds of people… but that’s not always very fascinating!
For this year, I’ve been spending a lot of time reconnecting with my interests, like visual art, algorithms, and writing. Today, I’ve decided to say hello to the world all over again. It’s been really great being able to get back to doing things that I like! A lot has changed over the last decade, but despite everything, I always wander right back to my keyboard with something warm to eat.
So this is my blog and my thoughts. Let’s explore something interesting!
