About Better's Today

How it started?

Hi, I'm Rain Tran, an engineer.
Following advice from my favorite author Cal Newport on cultivating a Deep Life and bring back Web 2.0 blog. This is my cozy home in the digitally distracting world.

What do you expect to see in this blog?

I am a bit into reading, so you will see a lot of quotes from the books I'm reading; then a lot of my ideas and thoughts, many of them still raw, half-baked. I love to leave them unfinished that way so people reading them can know me better as a person, and hopefully give guidance on completing the missing dots. I greatly appreciate your help in putting your line of thought at the comment section.

Like any boy loves playing with their toys, as an engineer I love playing with my gears. Stories of my my latest tinkering on the freshly acquired knowledge, from Software Engineering, Sketchnoting to Cooking will find their place here as well. Actually this blog was setup in the course of me playing with Django on a Sunday afternoon. Happy reading and give me a ping <3
