I'm another person named Alexander （中文名字是蒯乐）. I live in Oakland. I've started showing up on Tuesdays and studying Chinese. I'm also interested in the darkroom; I'd love to get back into printing color.

Chinese goals

• memorize 甲乙丙丁戊己庚辛壬癸
• learn how to use 于 and 与

miscellanea

For fun, I like

• riding and repairing and learning about bicycles
• photography (digital and analog... documentary, landscape, long exposure, panoramas)
• light-weight programming (Python, Perl, PHP, Javascript...did a little in C/C++ a long while ago...don't really like Java or ASP)
• 学习中文（是个文学士） and other languages in general
• using and messing with OS X and Linux
• word games (especially Scrabble), Go, Chinese Chess
• good coffee, but more often green tea

Would like to learn more about...

• electricity, since I barely understand how these things I use all the time work on a physical level.
• lockpicking is interesting stuff that I don't know much about.
• machine learning, genetic algorithms

Also interested in, to differing degrees,

• art... visual, music, kinetic sculptures, )'( stuff
• environment... recycling, efficiency
• philosophy/religion... Buddhism, free will
• law... human rights, privacy, copyright
• fire... everyone likes fire
• booze... bourbon, beer
