This is from my “About” section.

I was inspired to write this blog from two main sources: 1) listening to Principles by Ray Dalio, in which written articulation of life principles is encouraged, and 2) from the urging of a friend who believes that he should have written publicly sooner. I have written in the past, but have abandon two blogs. This is in part because I was structuring my writing like a lot of what I enjoyed seeing online. But this entailed a lot of research, revision, and I felt like I was pushing the style to be “marketery.” Instead here, I want to write as if I was writing to my past self or a future child or a mentee. Particularly aiming descriptions toward: I did this, I failed here, and this is what I think is the right path forward. Not, this is the best way, nor this is the only way. Rather, this is the way that worked for me.

I want to write because I learn in the process of trying to articulate my understanding. I can then easily share my views with others and hopefully that can learn from it. Furthermore, it can be a resource that I can go back to remind myself of principles and details, I can use it refine my processes, and in doing it all, I improve my ability to communicate. Another way of thinking of it is my journal or notebook for topics I’m learning or hobbies I’m doing that has a bit of extra effort put in to be well structured and communicative. 

I want to write about my hobbies, and interests. The range of a myriad of topics: biomedical engineering, healing & regeneration, engineering (particularly mechanical & electrical), communication, principles, processes, meta skills, optimization, modules, digital fabrication, and more. I hope to come back to these high level topics again and again to edit and refine my mental models, principles, methods, and details. For my own sake, I’m not always going to build from the ground up, I’ll assume knowledge, perhaps myself after graduating with a degree in Engineering. But when I’m learning a new topic or have time, I’ll try to explore the roots of it. This blog will be a success if there is someone reading it who finds it useful.
