Welcome! 欢迎！

Welcome to my personal website. VA was a pseudonym I have assumed since high school. I later updated it with the last name of one of my favorite anime characters, Mikoto Misaka, to form “VA Misaka”, and hence the domain name.

I am a Chinese guy living in the US, working as an electrical engineer. I used to be a ambitious weeb (as “Misaka” suggests), but now I am just a mediocre person doing boring things, struggling as everyone else does. Nevertheless, I define myself as a life-long learner and a scholar in the heart. My motto is “生于忧患，死于安乐”, which stands for “one thrives in hardships and perishes in comfort”.

I mainly use this website to store my casual writings, notes for various academic subjects, and documentation for small projects of personal interest. I keep all of them categorized, and the category can be easily located on the home page. At the earlier stage of my life, I had some fancy ideas which motivated me to start working on several fictions. Although each fiction barely has the introduction chapter completed and they all look very naive to me now, I’d like to keep them as memories anyways (and hopefully update them on a whim). The fiction drafts are under the “Writing” category, which includes whining about life as well. At later stage of my life, I developed a variety of interests. Some of them are usual hobbies like pencil sketching, some are academic subjects like theoretical physics, and some are technical skills like coding. As a life-long learner again, I consider taking notes a good habit; hence the major content of this website are study notes. Let me show some examples with their categories of what I will post:

“The plot and other Ideas of My Version of ‘Tower of the Sorcerer’ Game Design” #Gaming – ToS

“Sorting” #Learning – Computer Science – Algorithms

“Notes for “Modern Semiconductor Devices for IC”” #Learning – Electrical Engineering

“Funny Jokes and Pictures” #Life – Fun

“Recipes for Szechuan-Style Cooking” #Life – Food

“Some Reoccurring Themes in My Childhood Memories” #Writing – Thoughts

“The Lone Star” #Writing – Fiction

Thanks for your time reading. I hope certain posts from this website bring entertainment to you.
