Highlight of the week: I finished reading Anathem!
things I did
- I did some more work on the code for my upcoming publishing project.
- I made Dal Tadka for a family member’s birthday.
- I made a very experimental batch of hummus. The weirdest thing was using desi chickpeas instead of kabuli chickpeas, giving it a very dark brown hue, but I’ve received very positive feedback on the other changes. I may update my recipe soon. As I write this, I’m working on a second, larger batch, integrating the flavor tweaks but returning to the usual kabuli chickpeas.
- I got some awesome new tee shirts, three for 65RM (about $15)! Pictures below.
things I read
I finished Anathem, which I enjoyed very much! It’s given me some new ideas for my seven-dimensional universe, which was eerily similar to the cosmology of the book. I’d complain that Neal stole my idea, but I suppose he had it first.
Other than that, I’ve been reading a few books I found lying around the house that I enjoyed as a kid. I also discovered that my mom borrowed Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism from a friend, so I may read that next.
