Blogging the Great Books
From Plato to Darwin, Milton to Adam Smith, I'm reading the "Western canon" from Dr. Eliot's Five-Foot shelf. A liberal education is something everyone should have, but nobody should have to pay tuition for.
Blogs & Writing
Blogs and selected Quora entries.
I write occasionally—mostly about computer science and the Classics, with an emphasis on making sense of the world around me. Below are my two blogs and a link to Quora answers.

I taught myself JavaScript programming with game engines during the 10s shortly after finishing school. Here's thoughts and problems I encountered - and their solutions - as I learned to program games while applying what I learned from my CS degree.

I also answer questions on Quora—mostly about computer science, mathematics, and history, but with some amusing outliers. Here are a few answers I gave:
- Discrete mathematics and programming
- Learning algorithms in a computer science program
- Short piece of advice before studying software develpment
- A warning from history: Commandant of Auschwitz
- Slavery and the 1787 Constitutional Convention
- A defense of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
- A life lesson in human nature
