Socrates is credited with saying, "the unexamined life is not worth living." I enjoy every opportunity that I get to reflect and grow, incorporating aspects of everything I am part of into a unified/consistent way of life. Outside of research and school work, I love to engage myself (and in particular my mind) in a wide variety of ways. ReadingReading is a favorite hobby of mine and I always have a book going. I'll read just about anything, but some of my favorite authors are Orson Scott Card, Stephen King, Frank Herbert, and Ayn Rand. The following books comprise a small subset of what I've liked most.
Electronic HobbiesI do enjoy movies and television, but these usually take a backseat to reading and other activities. Video games can be quite fun, but are usually more fun for me when playing with other people. Even though my school work involves vast amounts of programming, I've pursued more leisurely and entertaining programming tasks to sharpen my skills (and because it's fun!).
