Hobbies
=============

I consider myself to be a person with a relatively wide range of hobbies. However, some of my hobbies are indeed somewhat niche. 

My hobbies include (but are not limited to):

* :doc:`Computer Programming </Hobbies/Programming>`: I use Python/R, HTML/JS, C\#, and more. I have published a book for using LaTeX (if it counts as a programming language).

  Below is a representative sample of my tone tuning work, singing One Night in Beijing (北京一夜). The virtual singer voice library is distrubted by the famous Chinese voice actor Ge Ping (葛平).
