Disclaimers

If you thought you would find a bunch of legal jargon telling you what you can and cannot do, you will find yourself disappointed. As much as I want to sue you for things that have nothing to do with me, I probably won’t. Luckily for you, I find lawyers to be exhausting. This means you can do whatever you want with the content on this site. You can even slander me and I won’t care because slandering reveals more about the slanderer than the person being slandered.

Cool, with that out of the way, here’s the real purpose of this page.

Disclaimer 1: I am not writing anything new.

There is nothing new under the sun. – Ecclesiastes 1:9

I’m not an inventor. I don’t make new things. Everything technical I write about already exists, whether in university textbooks, technical articles, or technical manuals. Any insight or wisdom you glean probably came from some random TED talk I watched or some random biography I read or from my parents/mentors or from some spiritual sacred text. All I did was internalize it for myself by writing it down. Writing is my way of processing thoughts.

Disclaimer 2: I’m just a student.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. – Henry Ford

A lifelong student.

I’m not in school anymore. But I still strive to learn something new everyday. It’s what keeps me alive. It’s what gets me excited every day. On days that I stop learning is when I get bored, and that’s when I get cranky and ready to take drastic actions.

Luckily for me, my curiosity is unsatiable to the point that I’m really good at asking questions on a multitude of topics, no matter how boring or mundane. That’s my secret sauce – I find almost everything interesting.

Disclaimer 3: I’m a simple person.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Being complicated sucks. And although nuance is inevitable in life, I strive to simplify whenever possible. This means I’ll throw out whatever I don’t need and keep only what’s left. If something doesn’t have functional use or doesn’t bring me joy, it must not remain.
