I share resources for researching the etymology and significance of names. Use these databases to look up the origins of your own name or explore the specific cultural history and meanings of various Asian names.

I benchmarked Node.js against PHP, Tornado, and Nginx using a simple Hello World test. I found Node.js surprisingly faster than Nginx serving a static file, achieving 2,500 requests per second using the Apache Benchmark tool.
I read 51 books in 2025, primarily using AI summarization to process 44 titles in a single week. My highlights include Bert Hölldobler’s The Ants and Brandon Sanderson’s Wind and Truth, alongside deep dives into biology and psychology.
