Bio
Hi, I'm Ken.

I'm currently in northern california, though I originated on the east coast. I work as an electrical engineer doing IC chip design, though I get back to my computer programming "roots" sometimes as a hobby. I also have way too many interests and no time for any of them, it seems. Of course, I have a bad habit of reading the internet or staring at youtube for hours straight when I could be working on the interests I'm always complaining about not having enough time for.

I have a mild case of quarter-life-crisis omg-what-am-i-doing-with-my-life angst. But I don't expect the full force of it to hit until I turn 30 (shudder).

I also do a web comic, tsuduku, which has been an on-again, off-again project since I was an undergrad. Go check it out! (LINK IS ABOVE!) You can friend or RSS [info]24niugnep's journal for tsuduku updates and discussion.

Also, I somehow found time to act in some of mediocre renaissance's silly fan-films. Go check them out!

I used to spend a lot of time arguing politics on the interwebs, but I don't do that so much anymore.

Current list of stuff I've been trying to work on in my free time:
- Reading books I should have read years ago (Currently re-reading Cryptonomicon in preparation for tackling the Baroque Cycle)
- reading through MacroHistory
- Going to Kenpo classes
- staying in shape
- Practicing guitar
- Working on some songs that my girlfriend and I have had on the backburner for years now
- Getting through Slime Forest's Kanji set
- Re-learning french (note, due to time constraints lately, my language-learning efforts have been on hold)
- learning about amateur astronomy, and specifically the constellations and important stars. Or at least thinking about learning it.
- Getting involved in an open-source software project (Earlier this year I contributed to this project called VOS, but haven't touched it in a while)
- updating tsuduku semi-regularly
- playing videogames I should have played years ago (I still haven't beaten Shenmue 2! sheesh!)
- Attempting to have some sort of occasional social life.
- Exploring the world!

... so yeah. I really don't spend much time livejournaling anymore.

Which brings me to:
MY LIVEJOURNAL FRIENDS POLICY OMGOMGOMG!!!!!11!23@!!!#1ONETY-ELEVEN!
- You can friend me if you like; you don't have to ask me.
- I don't add any friends unless I've met you in person
- But that really doesn't matter, since I don't use my friends list to read journals anymore. I generally go to people's journals directly, so I may still read you even if you're not on my "friends list" -- and I may end up commenting on stuff you posted weeks or months ago.
- Also, you're not missing out on much, since I hardly ever lock posts to be friends-only. Of course, I don't write that much in the first place.

Also, no myspace or other web page for me (except tsuduku) -- this be it.

And to people who know me in person: I keep my up-to-date contact information in my livejournal "Memories." Convenient, eh?

THAT'S ALL




I once had a webcam, but their software sucks so I hardly ever turn it on. IM me if you really want me to :P



SUSHI IS LOVE (thanks [info]freyja!)
