I’m alive again.
It’s been… More than a year since I’ve uploaded anything to this blog. During that time only thing I’ve written long form were occasional tumblr posts dealing with what’s been happening in my life or some dry master plan to rule the universe through the power of science, typical student stuff. I’ve stopped blogging on … Read more

Well, I just though I’d share an interesting article I read on Whole Foods CEO … Read more
Lecture and presentation
Long time no see on the blogosphere. I’ve been busy during the summer with all the usual stuff, mostly learning and working. I’m glad to say that I’ve almost finished the Exploring Complexity: An Introduction book during the summer, and I was even able to get some of the mathematics out of the way. I … Read more
How to change the world.
This is a bit of rant post on something I thought of after watching bunch of old hacker-themed movies from the Hollywood. It continues to amaze me how I can participate in all sorts of crazy things even with the summer studies and jobs I need to keep up with. I guess that’s the benefit … Read more
Life during summer and consilience notes
I should definitely to a decent post some time soon, but it seems that I’m in middle of severe drought of ideas and writing abilities.
