Hobbies
A short list of things I like:
- Photography: I am trying to develope a modest portfolio. All pictures are licensed under CC-BY-SA (3.0 or higher).
- Learning languages: Currently, I know:
- English: the language I think in.
- Greek: I took enough courses to complete Greek minor, and I can read the Greek New Testament with a little help from a lexicon.
- German: I took German 1 and 2 at UC Berkeley, and am currently reading through some graded readers.
- Latin: seriously out of practice, but one of these days …
And I know a few basic phrases in Polish and Russian. I hope to learn Polish better.
- Collecting and fabricating “far out” theories:
- Did you know that OPEC deliberately manipulated crude oil prices to ruin George W. Bush’s presidency and get a Democrat elected? Just look at the historical oil prices and try denying it.
- Since my graduation from college, political philosophy has become very important to me. As a practical aspect of this change, I’ve become news and politics junkie.
