Jimmy Chen

In short ...

Currently I am:

Working on Furnace@Homeā„¢ V5 (coming soon);
Doing research on progressive geometry processing with Eris Zhang in Doug James' group;

Frequently I:

Cook stuff for myself;
Go down rabbit holes on random topics;
Perform in the Stanford Philharmonia as timpanist;

Occasionally I:

Cook stuff for other people;
Invent abstract and very symmetric origami models;
Play with cellular automata (rule golfing for interesting dynamics);
Code for stuff that looks plausibly nice, runs unnecessarily fast, or does something random;
Photograph people that I know, birds that I don't know, and landscapes that I've heard a lot about but finally meeting in person;

Constantly I:

Think;
Look for the novel and unique;
Seek to improve myself through self-aware-but-not-too-aware-ness;
Play with metallic objects (because metals are cool (to the touch));

Probably I should:

Think less;
Write things down more;
Act decisively over the insignificant;
Speak louder;
