In September of 2025 I took a trip with my Dad to Scotland (partially because we had unused British Airways credits from a cancelled trip in 2020 that were about to expire). In the same trip, we visited London as well. For me it was my second time in London and my first time inContinueContinue reading “Edinburgh”

The Odyssey
Contents: Introduction The Poem The Test of Time What Do We Live For? Greek Life and Mythology The Film Introduction I still remember the first time I “read” The Odyssey.

Iceland
Our 2026 vacation to the land of fire and ice was a trip inspired entirely by the solar eclipse. I had proposed the idea initially only because I had heard the path of totality would graze Reykjavik. In the end, the eclipse was overshadowed both literally and figuratively by a rainy day and breathtaking naturalContinueContinue reading “Iceland”
Italy 2019
My maiden European voyage taken with my family after graduating high school. We visited Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast. I am making this post 7 years too late, so I don’t have many great photos or many immediate reflections to share. I was also younger, and didn’t exhibit the same wanderlust thatContinueContinue reading “Italy 2019”

Stereolithography (SLA)
For the holiday season, I decided to treat myself to a new 3-D printer. This unique printer was not a classic FDM (fused-deposition-modeling) printer, where layers of liquid plastic are extruded on top of each other. This printer was an SLA (stereolithography) printer. Welcome to the family, Elegoo Saturn 2! SLA printers project successive UV masks ontoContinueContinue reading “Stereolithography (SLA)”
Cannery Row
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck is a classic American slice-of-life novel that follows a group of communal, yet unmistakably distinct characters navigating their self-contained world within the neighborhood surrounding Cannery Row. Cannery Row itself is simply a street with a sardine cannery. Through the noise and pollution of the cannery, we focus on Lee Chong’sContinueContinue reading “Cannery Row”
Intertidal Inhabitants
An Opening Thought: A beautiful serenity that houses some of the most ancient and bizarre forms of life, if you are willing to look closely. We have an obsession with aliens. I suppose the reason why this same obsession is not shared with marine life is because a majority of curiosity is satisfied with aContinueContinue reading “Intertidal Inhabitants”
