I'm interested in learning and as a result teaching various topics. Leaning generally towards programming and art. Hopefully, I'll be able to sneak in some math as I'm math phobe whose phobia has mellowed out over the years. This blog is an effort to document some of my efforts in those fronts.

I'm also hoping to document stories from my corner of India as I feel there's many interesting stories to tell.

saji.me is my blog. Currently the main topic is a beginners guide to JavaScript at the moment but I'll try posting something else soon.

Please have a look.

your blog seems interesting. would you write about custom stuff - like how to? How to do concrete things in js?

I took some time and read through a a few of your posting. I think your doing a great job with it and the images are a good touch; especially since your have a minimalist theme that keeps things simple, the images give a little pizazz.

I'd like to see what your do mathematically, because as far as I'm concerned that's quite unique. The only thing that concerns me is the wordpress "latest" on the right. I think your could use an archive as well so that your readers can find older postings that are relevant to what they may be looking for.

-P.S. I never quite understood the math "phobia" thing with so many people.

Sadly, that's only much later if ever. My goal is to provide a foundation in core JavaScript. The intent is to assuage some of the pain encountered by beginners who are confused by JavaScript. Not as a step by step guide to accomplish some task.

Thanks for this great comment. As you suggested, I will set the archive as the sidebar.

I think my math phobia was because I'm a very "right brained" visual kinda guy. As far as I'm concerned, symbols have no inherent meaning. Without solid visual or real life examples, I did not see the meaning of all the cryptic symbols that were thrown around. And trust me, it hurt me very much. So it must hurt for those like me. I hope you understand.

I took a look at your 3 from 7 3d model.  Once I figured out what you were doing it made sense.  It's a cool visualization of permutation/combination, and the javascript is pretty clean too.  My only suggestion would be to write a bit more about it so people can understand what you are displaying.
