The City & The City
This is a weird one. This post is about not being able to finish this audiobook. I’ve been on a good streak with audiobooks in the past few months, finishing about 2-3 a month. But…I’m not sure what’s happening with this one. So far, I’ve listened to a total of an hour of the book […]

Dividends as income
I wanted to write about this for awhile but I can find a good starting point so today I just sat down and decided to type out what my thoughts are about this topic. What are dividends? In this post, I’m referring to the stock market’s term “dividends” which means an amount paid out to investors […]

Mid-year check-in, also I’m 28 now
Yesterday, I turned 28. This is the perfect time to reflect on the first half of 2018 and also my past year since I turned 27. When 2018 started, I decided not to start with any resolutions as they most often don’t get fulfilled. I wanted to mostly observe myself and get to know myself […]

Preview of Free Press
Below is a screenshot of the most recent changes I’ve made to free press to get a single post showing. It’s missing author, date, and other important links but I’m working on that next.

Mid-May update
In the past 2-3 months, I’ve been writing way more code and relatively more blog posts than I had before starting this blog. This has been mainly due to my goal of being consistent about things that interest me. I’m writing this post because I haven’t posted in about 10 days and I was getting […]

Apps I use to listen to audiobooks
I’ve posted about a couple of books I’ve recently finished by listening to them as audiobooks and I wanted to share how I go about doing this since buying audiobooks can be pricey (since you can’t find them used or cheaply on Amazon). Last year, I subscribed to Audible, it was pretty good except when […]

The Three-body Problem
A few months ago, a friend recommended The Three-body Problem by Liu Cixin (translated by Ken Liu from Chinese to English). I listened to it as an audiobook. This book is a different kind of science fiction! It starts out with at the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s and then sets the beginning there […]
