Started reading Babel by RF Kuang 📚

I did my undergrad in Linguistics, but only speak 2 languages. People always ask: “What is the easiest/hardest language to learn?” The answer can be captured in a concept from Xerox PARC: Tesler’s Law. All languages are complex in their own way, it’s just about where they hide their complexity.

Two new physical 🙀 book purchases today! 📚

Two paperback books on a desk in front of a LED lit up mechanical keyboard: “Mad about Painting” by Hokusai, and “Babel” by RF Kuang. A small Lego tanuki looks on from the top left of the image for some unknown reason 🤷

Lovely Saturday. 😎 We went to a neighborhood festival, I almost got on the nightly news (as an interviewee not for doing anything shocking! 🙈), then Japanese school with the kids, took a spin around Metrotown, and finally classic Crystal Mall dinner 🥟 🍜 🧋 🥡🥢

Excellent font. Great site. Stay to the end for the little game.

Lovely to see Dynamicland in action

Finished Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie 📚

This is the final book in the First Law trilogy, which I can’t stop recommending to people. The way it all wraps up, coiled tightly like a spring in a watch, powering the most intricate hands round-and-round as it tells the story. Brilliant!

Day 2 of #craigsgymclass September challenge is done 💪

20s plank 🪵 25 squats 🏋️‍♀️ 2x6 pushups 🙇

I also went for a short jog and a walk.

#craigsgymclass begins! plank 🪵 squats 🏋️‍♀️ pushups 🙇
