Now pages are becoming more of a thing, with a number of folks creating now pages, so I thought I would try one of these myself. Let me know if you find this useful!
What I’m doing now:
Learning Japanese; here’s a post on hiragana and katakana and how I got started
Currently studying vocabulary & grammar with the Genki books and kanji with "Remember the Kanji" by James Heisig.
Working on a digital notebook for managing structured data
As a primarily backend /distributed system developer, now learning how to write frontend applications and experimenting with various approaches.
We cooked often even before 2020, but cooking even more now, and enjoy trying new foods and recipes. Here are several recipes we enjoy:
- Dutch oven bread
- Uzbek samsa (video in Russian)
- Japanese onigiri, yaki onigiri, ramen and okonomiyaki (video)
- Korean popcorn chicken
A few things I’m curious about and currently reading and learning about:
- machine learning & quantum computation
- 3D rendering and raytracing
- fonts & typography
- generative art
