Basic exercises in drawing box-shaped objects
I have the tendency to draw for fun instead of practicing the fundamentals.

Rock debris load
I guess I just wanted something to do while bathing under outdoor sunlight.

Takeout box
I drew this common and yet intriguing object as a memoir of a short conversation with the restaurant owner during my pickup.

I meant to draw this used coffee pouch a while back until I recalled its existence after dinner.

How to deal with randomness in life
[This is my reply to a co-author who expressed concerns about the randomness in peer reviews.]
During my military training, a saying went like 散彈打鳥不死也傷, which roughly translates to “if one shoots enough bullets into a forest eventually a bird will be hit”.
(There are others related quotes such as “the best way to have a great idea is to have a lot of ideas” by Linus Pauling, but shooting bullets feels more concrete/visceral.)
Other things being equal, more attempts tend to reduce statistical variance and increase the numbers of success.
