Aqua Regia

Welcome to my website! I write about things and also have a collection of bookmarks. I've never been good at blogging, so don't expect much.

A little bit about me: I studied computer science for several years and spend a lot of my free time doing stuff with computers. The topic of CS might come up a lot in my blog posts, but that doesn't necessarily mean I like it.

I'm also interested in literature, poetry, languages, culture, food, history, and so many other things. I don't know if I deserve the title of "polymath" yet, because I'm not an expert in any of these fields--but as I follow my sense of curiosity, I hope to become a true polymath. I enjoy working on projects in my spare time. Not many of them get finished and I often question the purpose of my work, but even if it comes to nothing I get a sense of meaning out of it. I hope that eventually, I will create something that matters.

My intention is to use this blog to share deeper thoughts than I would on social media--things that require more explanation. I don't want to use this blog for self-promotion, and certainly don't want it posted on Hacker News. At the same time, it seems like I ought to avoid controversial topics and unprofessional language. Why exactly that is, I'm not sure. See, I'm completely unused to blogging even after a few years of doing it on and off. If I blog more then maybe I'll get the hang of it.

I'd like to interact with readers somehow (does anyone even read this blog?) so maybe I'll set up an email account for that purpose in the future.
