# 참고로 민구홍은…

Born March 5, 1985. I received formal Montessori education in 1989, around the age of five. I first encountered a computer, a Macintosh LC, in 1991, around the age of seven. I studied literature and linguistics at Chung-Ang University and computer programming at the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC) in the US (though I prefer to call it “literature and linguistics in a narrow sense,” or simply “poetic computation”), and learned various practical skills, including knot tying, ikebana, and design, through Google. I worked as a researcher in Professor Ahn Sang-soo’s laboratory at Hongik University (also known as “Wing House”) (despite the title, there was hardly any work to do). After working in the Publishing Division at Ahn Graphics, I work as an editor at Workroom, planning books such as Practical Books and Ametora. Meanwhile, I run the one-person company Min Guhong Manufacturing. Books I have translated include Forget All the Rules About Graphic Design. Including the Ones in This Book. (Studio Ghost, 2017).

![Every episode of Doogie Howser, M.D. ends with Doogie writing in his diary at a computer. Perhaps I wanted to be the star of such a wonderful scene myself.](https://minguhong.fyi/images/doogie-howser.jpg)
![For reasons I can’t quite explain, MTV cartoons such as Æon Flux and Beavis and Butt-Head also live somewhere in my memories. One thing is certain: I was not only absorbed in computers but watched television more avidly than anyone.](https://minguhong.fyi/images/aeon-flux.jpg)
