Things I'm interested in besides optimization.

Running

I spend a lot of time moving around in straight or slightly curved lines, or on the street in perhaps too-short courses. I’m an active member of Club Northwest and previously Duke’s Track Club. As a member, I help out with local races and occasionally travel places to race for them around the country (and occasionally in Canada).

Music

I spend a lot of time listening to music, playing guitar, and going to concerts, so I figured I should include some stuff about that here.

• I used to DJ for the UW student radio station, Rainy Dawg Radio.
• I play a lot of guitar when I can, and I’m nowhere near as good as I should be considering how long I’ve played. Regardless, here’s some of the gear I use (for those interested).
  • Taylor SB2-S double cutaway solid body
  • Gretsch Nashville G6121 solid body <!– * Line 6 Pre-amp
  • Whammy! pedal
  • Boss SYB-5 bass synthesizer
  • Kustom Defender V5
  • Fender Frontman (because everyone has one of these) –>
