Food

  • Madras Cafe — my go-to for South Indian food.
  • Base Camp: Indian restaurant in SF.
  • Kola pasi: Indian restaurant in SF.
  • Palak paneer is the dish I actually cook at home when I want something real instead of ordering in.
  • Spots jotted down to try or go back to: Terun Pizza, Ramen Kowa, La Bodeguita del Medio, Indo.

Coffee

List started, add more as I go.

Hiking & trails

Mostly Peninsula and SF paths so far, good for a long walk or a bike:

  • Sawyer Camp Trail (Peninsula, paved, along San Andreas Lake)
  • Bay Trail (Foster City / Redwood City stretches, flat, easy pace)
  • Crissy Field → Fort Point (SF waterfront, ends at the Golden Gate Bridge)
  • Cañada Road (car-free Sundays, along Crystal Springs Reservoir)
  • Angel Island (ferry out, full loop, old bunkers and bay overlooks)

Beaches

Tide pools at Lands End and Fitzgerald Marine Reserve are on the list. Rest of this one is still getting built out.

Places — visited, and want to go

  • San Francisco: home base.
  • Japan: want to go.
  • Spain: keep coming back to the idea of living there for a while.

More to add as they actually happen, not just get imagined.

Hobbies

  • Knitting — mid-project right now, pulled toward the same textures I keep circling back to: jacquard, merino, chunky cable knit (more on that thread: My Philosophy So Far).
  • Crochet — on the list, haven’t started yet.
  • Hardware — list started, nothing built yet. Adding as I go.
  • Software — Chorus, No Adults, lekh.space, Mixmake, Beacon, Trait Dial and the rest live on the homepage. Two more still cooking: a Strudel RL pipeline (training a small model to write live-coding music via reinforcement learning), and “Daki boxes” — type in a problem and some options, the box picks one for you.
  • EDM / audiovisual project — Max Cooper-inspired, generative visuals paired with original music, references collecting on Are.na as it goes.
  • Deep Dive - MF doom doomsday, and lana del rey - music where people create whole personas.
  • TV shows to watch - The office, The Jury

Consciousness, attention, and the rest of it

Less a list, more a thread I keep pulling on: attention and will after Simone Weil, the hard problem, panpsychism, what a person or a model is actually made of. That thinking lives on its own pages: Library for what I’m reading, My Philosophy So Far for what’s live right now. No Adults is where it turns into code instead of staying in my head: simulated characters that revisit memories and revise what they believe.
