About me

hello! my username is also my real name so that's pretty easy, right? my last name has a weird pronunciation and I am quite embarrassed to admit that even I cannot pronounce it absolutely correctly (since I possess zero fluency in Mandarin). Victoria is relatively simple to pronounce so there's that.

I like to draw tattoos on myself with sharpie pen (I'm not old enough to get a real tattoo by myself...) so if you ever see those...they're not real.

I also have a slight aversion to capital letters with the exceptions of A and Y.

However, a more recent article points out potential issues regarding the privacy of students amidst the rapidly growing industry of education technology: With Tech Taking Over in Schools, Worries Rise, Natasha Singer, The New York Times, 14 September 2014, 15 September 2014 (Advance Personalized Learning)

MATLAB Demonstrations

I thoroughly enjoyed the Teapot demonstration, simply because it was interesting to see which aspects of the graphic could be changed and what effect they would have upon the teapot. The Game of Life demonstration was pretty snazzy too, although admittedly I did not really know what was happening, and MATLAB crashed twice while I was trying to open it.
