2013 In Review
Accomplishments
I started boxing and stuck with it. This is probably one of the most valuable things of 2013.
I attempted and failed to learn both Japanese and Mandarin. At least with Mandarin I’m remedying this by going back to school.
I travelled earlier in the year to New York, and in October to Hong Kong.
I built this site, merveill.es and started kyoto.io.
I improved my Haskell knowledge by building projects like whatbook (unfinished) and gather.
I think I read good dozen or so books this year (not enough!).
I went through three different phones.
I got into board games a bit, best of 2013 being Twilight Imperium Third Edition.
Going to Hong Kong spurred on a delightful period of photography that I hope continues into the future.
There were also a slew of personal projects that I haven’t bothered to write-up, or haven’t yet.
Goals for 2014
