A few tech projects I`ve half-completed include: The most common themes in music lyrics according to a machine learning algorithm. Rhyme scheme analysis using the International Phonetic Alphabet and sequence alignment Swarm, a project in distributed programming/collective action blog I like walking, running, biking, and taking public transit. J Dilla changed my life. Here are some books I really enjoyed reading in the past year: Thinking The Twentieth Century, Tony Judt No Name In The Street, James Baldwin The Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon The Path to Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Robert Caro The Miracle of Mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh Course in General Linguistics, Saussure ©
