Hi! I'm 26 and used to be a software engineer in Manhattan. This page is a collection of articles that I find weird, interesting, or otherwise noteworthy. Sometimes I use it to bookmark things I want to remember for later. They frequently pertain to my esoteric flavor-of-the-month interests.

N.B.: Items in this list belong to exactly one sub-section. If an article fits under more than one sub-section, then it goes into the most specific (ie deepest) one. For example, List of national flags by design goes under instead of. In the case there is more than one appropriate subsection with depth n, then my process for choosing is completely subjective. Deal with it.
