Poker Camp

I'm working on building Poker Camp, an educational program about decision making under uncertainty through the lens of poker. We have a standard track about optimal decision making and an AI track about building game playing agents. Many materials for the latter are online at AI Poker Tutorial (work in progress).

Chabad World Tour https://chabadworldtour.com I like visiting Chabad houses, especially when traveling. This is a map of the ones I've been to so far.

I like eating eggs. Unfortunately most hotels do not make very good ones (or maybe I'm staying at the wrong hotels), not to mention the oils they're likely using.
Rotisserie Ride https://rotisserieride.com In late 2019 I came up with an idea to ride a bicycle from LA to NYC via Chicago consuming rotisserie (or other supermarket) chicken each day. I hope that this will happen and apparently it is only seasonally viable in fall.
Carrot Museum https://carrotmuseum.org I've collected some artworks including along some unusual themes like carrots (my favorite food).
