"Hacking" is creating solutions to problems in complex systems.

If you love exploring elegant fixes to problems of mind-shattering difficulty in a collaborative environment then HealthHackingNYC is the group for you. So: Come ask questions tha …

As many of you know, there are several different Chinese meetup groups in New York. At most of these meetups, speakers of all levels are welcome. This means that quite a large percentage of the conversation tends to be in English. To learn and improve, it's necessary to immerse oneself and not to feel as if you can just switch to English anytime you want. I have started this meetup to create a place where intermediate, advanced, or native speakers can go and speak entirely in Chinese. Sure, you …

Partial bucket list: wall climbing, Judo, fencing, zip lines, kayaking, snorkeling, riding on a jet-ski, learning to swim, wall climbing, visiting India, Tibet, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, and Burma. I've already tri …
