My interests
I've listed even stuff I have only a little bit of interest in, or lost interest in. Also the order is random.
Academic
- Theoretical CS (Turing machines and automata etc). Check out my post on the same.
- Algorithms, data structures, competitive coding
- Artificial intelligence, any studies of learning and intelligence
- Economics related stuff
- Formal logic - check this out
- Any interesting maths/logic problems ... check out Problem Solving Strategies by Arthur Engel if you're interested. A friend recommended it to me and it's brilliant. Also check out Martin Gardner's books or maybe just find some of his stuff online. Last and most important, check out puzzling stackexchange. Some of the posts are amazing. Binary poison, circular prison, names in boxes
- Psychology stuff. Check out the MBTI personality instrument and let me know what type you are. I'm an INTJ. According to the big five, I'm just a ''rational". Plus the site didn't give me access to my full results without paying so ... :(
Non-academic
- Game design - Want to learn but don't want to learn by myself online
- Chess - I suck at it but have some interest. Used to play a looooot in school. And now I play some online. If you know to play, maybe you could teach me.
- Mixing/composing of music - Might learn this later in life if I feel like it
- Playing drums - Learnt for many years. Got a grade 6 degree. Not interested anymore
- Watching movies and serials
- Reading books
- Writing - check out these posts - Inception fanfic, random scifi stuff
- Browsing - stackexchange, reddit, and a ton of other sites. Reddit is a pretty amazing site, you should check it out. Here's my post on stuff I browse
- Philosophy and opinions on stuff
- Drawing mazes and games on paper - I spent a good part of my childhood in school doing exactly this. Although I've lost most of my rough copies I remember a fair bit. I made all sorts of stuff (arrow maze, torch maze, cannon maze, platformer games), it might be easier to explain all this in person.
- Swimming - learnt a bit, lost interest
