Happy new year!
Goodbye 2007 – it was an eventful year.
I don’t know why I focus on destinations and travel so much, but the first thing I think about when looking back on the year is the places I have been.
I remember landing, bleary-eyed and fatigued in San Francisco and going straight to meetings for Circos. In Seattle [...]

An Excuse to Party
I’ve just spent 20 minutes washing molasses out of my hair. Molasses that has been in my hair for the past 5 hours. Have you ever had dried molasses (and flour) in your hair? It doesn’t feel good – though it does give me some type of crusty sheen.
Why did I have molasses in my [...]

Money… is what I want
That is, if you want to be lead an unfulfilling life. I came across this article on MSNBC that talks about how young people in university list “money” as one of their top aspirations. In this article they get feedback from older folks about what motivated them when they were younger.

Mass messages
If there is one way to make someone feel less special, it’s by including them on a mass SMS greeting.

Computer weekend
This weekend I have been trying to upgrade my main desktop computer. I bought 2 additional gigabytes of memory and stripped my old desktop of its Creative Labs X-Fi sound card.
Popped it all into the main desktop. This brings it to 4 gigabytes of total main memory, however due to the 32 bit OS (Windows [...]

So it’s almost Christmas
So it’s almost Christmas, and I haven’t been around.
Since getting back from East Timor, life has been a whirlwind of activity. I find that amusing, as I consider myself someone who likes to do… nothing. Laying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, listening to music as time whiles away…
But there is another part of [...]

Hardcore
This man is hardcore.
I’ve been tempted to do the same at the airport security checks. Except for me it’s usually bottled water or toiletries, and I don’t think it’d be a good idea to chug moisturizer.
