2009 was another great year for me. I came back to the states from my semester abroad in China just after the new year, went back to China for the summer, and had two amazing semesters at Harvey Mudd. My spring was very busy mostly because of classes in Algorithms and Galois Theory, both of… Continue reading 2009, the christmas card edition

WordPress is now configured to my liking, which has taken a turn to the minimalistic. Some additional work may eventually go into making the comments fit better into the rest of the theme, and making some of the sidebar features fit in more naturally. Otherwise though I’m really happy with how it came out. The… Continue reading Preview
Hello world!
I flipped this site over to using wordpress. Hopefully that will come with a nicer interface for me and for readers. I’m aiming for a pretty simple theme on the site – modeled after preview – and it’s almost there.

A New Test

Sadly, the road that the bus travels on was no longer in existence – it was totally torn up, and just a big patch of dirt that… Continue reading June 14th – Grottos
June 13th – Mount Heng
Got up early at 5am. Fiddled with my computer – getting pictures posted and such. Had breakfast. Went down to the lobby at 7 to meet my driver. The first place we went was the wooden pavilion. It’s a bit over an hour out of town on the beijing – mongolia expressway. It’s a pagoda… Continue reading June 13th – Mount Heng
