Ambitions

Food justice - Public Growing

Based on voluntaryism principles of taking neither government nor corporate money, I am trying to build a web application for allowing people to grow food in open, public space for free. And I need help!

Guitar Improvisation Class

I want to teach a class on Rock Guitar Improvisation.

I want to do this for a few reasons. I believe I will be good at it and I am angry at the expensive music school that puts money and marketing before education. I believe that teaching could be rewarding.

Kids who went to Berklee because they were inspired by Steve Vai got govt-paid "financial aid" and student loans to pay for it, and finished only to have $80,000+ student loan debt, which they slavishly repay over the next 10-20 years, working a job that requires a "bachelor's degree".

There is no good reason why the cost of music school must be so high.

Stuff I like

Guitar

I like to play and teach. Some of my musical influence include J.S. Bach, Paul Gilbert, and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Exercise

Currently studying martial arts (not so good at). In the past, strength training (very good at) and parkour (not so good at).

Skills

JavaScript

I wrote many articles on former dhtmlkitchen.com, comp.lang.javascript newsgroup, and the c.l.js FAQ.

I've built things for companies where business needs weren't necessarily geared towards generating actual value to the world.

Massage

Professionally trained at School of Traditional Thai Massage. I practice deep work, ideal for those who exercise hard (like me).
