Welcome and Introduction

A selfie of me. I have jet black hair that falls to my shoulders and I am wearing smoky eyeshadow and gray lipstick. My black t-shirt has a logo on it for the band Behemoth.

You’ve somehow stumbled upon my blog and for that I’m grateful. 

So who am I and what is this all about? My name is Ana (AH-nuh) and I’m a 33-year-old woman living in Minneapolis. My background is in Computer Science and Computer Engineering and I’ve worked on operating systems as a day job, but I’ve recently pivoted to working out of home for my dad’s classical guitar-related business.

My hobbies and interests are broad and disparate. As a result, this blog will feature all sorts of topics. A non-comprehensive list of posts you may see here include:

  • Latvians in WWII Graphic Novel Progress Posts
  • Art
  • Learning Latvian
  • Learning Classical Guitar
  • Journaling and Fountain Pens
  • Computer Science and Programming
  • Reading Fiction and Nonfiction
  • History 
  • Music
