Welcome to my blog, a place where I try to put some amorphous thoughts into words, take snapshots of my personhood, and share it all with the interwebs. See below for recent posts, or sort by category.

- For fun potpourri, read about running dormspam-the-game (with Whitney!) or my love letters to chalkboards and whiteboards.
In the past, I blogged for MIT Admissions; many older blogs are hosted there.
Are you one of the three people left on the Internet that uses Atom/RSS feeds? Honestly, kudos. And here you go.
