- continuously exploring the real world of computer science and technology
- self-studying in different programming languages
- update my personal website and photoblog
- using and advocating free and open source software (FOSS)
- talking w/ some computer geeks offline and online
- reading articles about the current trend in information technology

Computer Science is not Programming
Computer Science is the study of programming, but it's NOT programming itself. It's an area of mathematics which involves complexity, computation and automata theory. Yes its true that programming is an important skill in which each computer science graduate should have, but IMHO, there is much more to computer science than just writing computer programs.
