The Author

I’m Peter Stone, a Computer Scientist. I am on a never-ending, highly ambitious and slightly naive, quest to become a Polymath: An expert in many distinct and seemingly unrelated fields. There is no official criterion, no “certificates”, no “judges”.

You can usually find me being micro-managed by my cat, learning more about Kubernetes, tweaking my dot files for the millionth time, going down a random rabbit hole, trying to keep up with developments in Machine Learning, ditching another side project or planning my next blog post.

The Blog

Any knowledge that is not passed down, has no purpose. Why learn, if you can’t share it with anyone else?

In my teenage years I dreamt up the idea of a “Blue Nook” (Rincón Azul in Spanish). A quiet and peaceful place to read, learn and to explore the boundaries of our knowledge. I did not envision it as a library or academy, but as ancient ruins; a vestige of knowledge passed down by generations of curious minds that requires us, a new generation, to maintain and rebuild. When unkept, it simply continues crumbling, until it disappears forever.

Inspired by the old ruins of majestic and imposing churches of my hometown, my Blue Nook is built upon the hard work of others. A humble attempt to preserve, explore and contribute my very own thread to the Loom of Wisdom. A place that exists both in thought and in reality, and that, one day, may serve as a foundation to someone else’s Nook.
