Personal

I enjoy the outdoors a great deal, especially going running, hiking, or taking long walks while reasoning about an assigned problem. It is always restorative to get out into the warm sun and fresh air. I also enjoy reading. For the most part this is non-fiction books or articles related to programming, computer science, mathematics, or science in general. I also like science-fiction or mysteries.

I also enjoy travel; pictures from some of my recent travels can be seen here.
