Handstand junkie, software engineer, manager, ocicat parent, atheist, subway rider. Loves cities, coffee, cats, & books. I don't believe in endless growth for the sake of growth, and think that "stay hungry, stay foolish" is some truly terrible advice.

Some things are even more interesting after they break. I'd love to draw these shapes and shadows sometime!

I spent the month of March quitting my job at Google, a time consuming endeavor that led to me not posting an outdoor handstand photo in March. I'm giving myself a pass on that, all things considered, but I'll also post two in April. Here's the first.

The sky thinks you're wrong about that snow... sigh. This may not be like the time we got 18" on April 1, but it's LATER. Cruelest month, indeed.

I do this on Friday for the first time in a decade, and then can't figure out why my weekend workouts feel so tired. A mystery.

A bit of handstand choreography I learned this morning. It could use some smoothing out, but I already like how it feels.

I'm taking an online drawing course through Udemy (the teacher is Brent Eviston), specifically about volume and form. Here is my completed homework for the first lecture, on spheres! A bit tedious, but they did get better over time.
