==== Introduction ====
This is my personal wiki. I use it to keep and organize notes related to hand surgery, surgical education, microsurgery training, and some personal notes.

In 2019, I decided to register the alfchong.com domain name. With that in hand, I signed up for some shared hosting, which is relatively cheap and much easier to set up nowadays. I have been away from this hosting and running website business for a good 10+ years.

I am working on my Instructional Course Lecture talk at ASSH on flexor tendon healing. Doing some background reading and notes first to update myself on [[md:flexor_tendon|Flexor Tendon Injuries]]. I have also been doing some research into [[pe:parallettes]].

=== 2020-11-28 ===

I am reading Sansom's excellent [[bk:japan_cultural_history|Japan: A Short Cultural History]], Schon's [[bk:schon1983|The Reflective Practitioner]], and Low & Cherian's PAP v PAP. 

For fiction, I am plodding through Eco's The Name of the Rose again. I last read it as a teenager when it first came out in hardcopy. I gave that paperback away and am now reading an ebook version. The book is hard going, and I must say I am reading it much closer than I did previously. As a diversion, I am reading Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days -- prompted after seeing Alex read his Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I changed the default logo to one with my avatar. The seems to also have changed some of the text colors in the theme. It now complements the shirt colour of my avatar. I also added some more content and am trying to clean up some the organization of the wiki by categorizing them under namespaces.

Reading this [[jnl:marre2011|article]] about inserting a latex roll into the artery to facilitate anastomosis practice makes we wonder if we should start a small journal club as part of our research meetings.

If you wonder sometimes, like I do, about whether teaching and staying in public service makes sense, George Berzsenyi's [[https://www.npr.org/2019/04/07/707326070/a-math-teachers-life-summed-up-by-the-gifted-students-he-mentored?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits|story]] should provide some boost to morale.
