Welcome!
This site belongs to me, Angadh. It is an attempt to construct an aesthetic home for my written wares. As with my physical home, I expect to be its most frequent user.
Its primary purpose is to collect those writings of mine that capture elements of my personality that academic publications are designed to negate; their style discourse has its purpose and place but at the moment my priority is to achieve something similar balanced against other aspects of writing that I enjoy.
The objective is to minimise battling the demons of such systematised thinking and focus on vanquishing the devil of doubt and uncertainty within me. I shall goodhart to maximise my own metrics instead of the whimsy of institutions.
I’m not suggesting that this site is a finished form of some better publication platform but it is what works for me; it’s where I write about varying topics: education as technology; contemplating Thoreau; history of von Braun wheels; and high-level Space Data Center Analysis.
If you accidentally dropped in here and wish to continue reading, I recommend picking an essay—the five most recent ones are listed below. A complete archive of writing is available that includes unpolished and unfinished thoughts.
