learn to draw
Untitled 2 years ago

Tried my hand at sketching/drawing, and got a little bit further along (like getting a book to learn from, etc.) Obviously not accomplished yet, but will come back to it again, I’m sure.



be politically active
Called for Change 2 years ago

I participated in MoveOn.org’s Call for Change, where volunteers get a list of potential voters to call before he 2006 Congressional mid-term election. It felt great to be actively influencing and participating in the democractic process, rather than just sit back and complain about the outcome.



Volunteer
One day volunteering last year 3 years ago

At the company that I work, there is an organized volunteer day in which you can go help out the local non-profits with our technical expertise. I did this back in 2005 and found it extremely rewarding, not only in helping the non-profit, but also reminding myself why technology is 1) so cool, and 2) have such a long way to go before it becomes user friendly.
