I'm another person named Alexander. I live in Oakland. I've started showing up on Tuesdays and studying Chinese.
Chinese goals
- memorize 甲乙丙丁戊己庚辛壬癸
- learn how to use 于 and 与
miscellanea
For fun, I like
- riding and repairing and learning about bicycles
- photography (digital and analog... documentary, landscape, long exposure, panoramas)
- programming (Python, Perl, PHP, Javascript...did a little in C/C++ a long while ago...don't really like Java or ASP)
- 学习中文 (是个文学士) and other languages in general
- using and messing with OS X and Linux
- word games (especially Scrabble), Go, Chinese Chess
- good coffee, but more often green tea
Would like to learn more about...
- electricity, since I barely understand how these things I use all the time work on a physical level.
- lockpicking is interesting stuff that I don't know much about.
- machine learning, genetic algorithms
Also interested in, to differing degrees,
- art... visual, music, kinetic sculptures, )'( stuff
- environment... recycling, efficiency
- philosophy/religion... Buddhism, free will
- law... human rights, privacy, copyright
