Good day! Fancy seeing you here!
You know, an estimated 91% of websites have never been visited by any human besides their creators, which means your presence here alone already makes this site forever one of the 9%.
Regardless of how true (or outdated) the statistic is, all I want to say is that, thank you for being here!
Brief Introduction
I guess I should give a bit of self introduction. My name is Josh. I grew up in Hong Kong and later moved to the US for studies, and am now living in New York City.
I am a programmer, my main interest is to create fun things, whether it’s simple games or desktop applications, small gadgets or firmware for meaningless tools.
As a result of my interest in embedded stuff, I have also developed some skills in CAD and 3D printing, although I still have a long way to go.
Interests
Outside of that, I also play music. In fact, I have been playing the piano for almost 20 years. I was also in a band in high school as the bassist. Sometimes, I also like to create music, although I am still very much an amateur. Between that and programming, I like to refer to myself as a "keyboardist".
Gaming is another hobby of mine, especially metroidvania and shmup type games (specifically bullet hell). Mainstream ones like Hollow Knight, Ori, Touhou, of course, but I also enjoy many of the older retro titles, and many newer homebrew ones as well.
Site History
This site is mostly a journal where I write down the occasional thoughts that probably should have stayed in my head. Instead of letting them disappear, I am putting them here.
This site was originally hosted on Blogger, later migrated to a self hosted Mastodon instance, and now it is generated using Hugo.
