summer tidbits

summer tidbits 01 im going on an alarming number of flights this summer. the two sets of flights to pheonix, arizona are work-related, but the rest comes out of my paycheck. TT im going to anime expo in LA this weekend, then visiting MIT friends in SF next weekend. im also taking a personal trip to portland, just to explore a nearby cool city on my own. :) i have no idea whats happening in august. 02 here is a graph of the flights im going on this summer, where the vertices are airports, and the edges are flights between them. i made a vague attempt at making the points geographically accurate. 03 if im at work on my macbook, this is the top bar / desktop summary i would see in mission control (swipe up with three fingers on the trackpad). i like to have chrome and the terminal on one split screen, and use fullscreen sublime text with two split panes for coding. 04 ive been interested in emyojijukugo/em (????, four-character compound words) lately. theyre (usually idiomatic) phrases that are exactly four chinese characters long and often have really interesting meanings. here are some i liked while looking at https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/idiom/. from top to bottom: ???? emhanmenkyoushi/em (bad example from which one can learn, good example of what not to do), ???? emonkochishin /em(developing new ideas based on study of the past), ???? emgishinanki/em (jumping at shadows - once you suspect something, everything else will seem suspicious), ???? eminginburei/em (hypocritical courtesy - being so overly polite that its seen as rude), ???? emshinrabanshou/em (everything that exists in the universe) 05 some short-term and long-term goals i have in apples reminders app. i said i would run more, but i honestly havent been faithful to it and i really need to. i went to a smash tournament for the first time ever a few weeks ago in seattle, and i went to another one the week after that! ...i didnt win a single match. :( but it was still fun! and my goal is to win just one match one day... 06 this is a faithful yet heavily compressed representation of my chrome history on my work computer. mostly, ive been working with python, but also learning to use a lot of other things like AWS and test libraries and jenkins and the concept of a workflow. i'm going on an alarming number of flights this summer. the two sets of flights to pheonix, arizona are work-related, but the rest comes out of my paycheck.
