My Personal Interests
Throughout my life, I have always been interested in figuring out how to “improve” my physical and mental abilities. This started at an early age through sports, where I loved practicing and playing football, basketball, and baseball. I enjoyed being able to learn new skills and feeling my body physically transform as I learned those skills. As I continued to play sports as a teenager, I began targeted physical training, which involved things like weight training, running, and plyometrics. Over the years, I have continued to research all forms of training, both physical and mental, in order to tap into my full athletic potential. I have always been naturally a fairly average athlete, but I have been able to drastically increase my athleticism through my interest and commitment to improving my physical and mental abilities.
Since I was young, I have also had two other related interests: science fiction and video games. In particular, I enjoy SciFi that in some way tries to present a vision of what the future could look like (e.g. Star Wars, Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica, etc.). For video games, I have always enjoyed most first-person games that allow the player to do things they normally could not (e.g. fly, get into gunfights, have superhuman abilities, etc.). I especially love science fiction games that give the user super-human abilities (Quake IV in particular comes to mind).
Purpose
The purpose of this site is three-fold:
- To create and foster community of people interested in improving themselves through many different means
- To share my own personal ideas and efforts around improving my physical and mental abilities
- To figure out where personal hacking is going and/should go, and to do my part to make it happen
