• 2026-07-21Nomogenesis Revisited

  In 2019, as part of my BA in Linguistics at the University of Arizona, I was guided by Massimo Piatelli-Palmarini to write an honors thesis. The weekly one-on-one sessions with Massimo were freeform and highly intellectually stimulating. We began by discussing his book What Darwin Got Wrong, co-authored by Jerry Fodor. We then explored various works

• 2026-07-20Wedding Blessings from Grandpa / 外公的婚礼祝福

  恭喜外孙女贝贝和小九新婚之喜！远在亚利桑那州缔结良缘，新春佳节双喜临门。外公特意填词两阕，既合中式雅韵，又寄万里祝福。两阕词皆紧扣新春、新婚、远地良缘之意，平仄韵脚依词牌正体格律，既合迎宾贺婚之礼，又藏阖家祝福之情。贝贝，如你们那里有“中国红的”大红纸买的话，你去买张红纸抄写一份贴在你们的新婚房间里，作个纪念。《迎宾词》用红纸抄写一份贴在你们办喜酒的大门。（外公外婆衷心祝福，2026年2月19日于中国）

• 2026-07-20Our Story (Episode 1) / 我们的故事 (第一集)

  2025年年初，我受航长的邀请参加每周一次的启发聚会（一系列帮助人了解基督教信仰的课程）。我那时住在下关，每次路上要花一个半小时，但我无比庆幸自己参与其中，因为在那里我认识了对我非常重要的一群好朋友。3月时我还信誓旦旦地告诉他们我懒得搬家，每周这么赶路也无所谓，转头4月1号我就已经住进了三文笔村的新家。我有了自己的沙盘工作室，也有了与朋友们更频繁的相聚。我们在聿敏家打鼓、跳舞，在航长家聚餐、欢唱，在Raymond家喝酒、畅聊……我的“闭关”状态渐渐褪去，被友情的连接所填充。6月的一天，我和姚瑶约好了吃午餐，她早上临时问我能不能再带一位刚认识的外国朋友一起，我随即就答应了，并不知道自己命运会因此发生翻天覆地的变化。在这个愉快的下午之后，我和小九每天都会见面，每次见面聊天聊到不想告别。两周以后在一个聚会上我邀请小九和我一起跳舞，我们两个十分笨拙地相拥跳舞，一不小心就踩到对方的脚。那天告别时我意识到，我要恋爱了。第二天小九来到我家问我，虽然我们的未来充满了不确定，我是否愿意和他开始恋爱。我们的故事就这样在懵懂的心动中开始了。

  After we got married in February, Bei Bei and I honeymooned at the Cascabel Conservation Association's Cottage Hermitage, a sublime solitary retreat nestled in Hot Springs Canyon east of Tucson, AZ. We actually made plans before we got married to do the week-long retreat together in Cascabel! Only after getting engaged three weeks before our wedding did we realize that the retreat would be the perfect honeymoon.

  When I send an email, I often want my agenda to remind me to follow up a few days later. Thanks to Dirk-Jan C. Binnema's help, I was able to set this up with mu4e and org-capture.
