A week that was

13-Nov-11

After a week that was, I did not fail my exam so that’s a plus. I’m having trouble coping with the idea of my aunt’s body in the cargo hold of an airplane currently over the Atlantic somewhere. For a person who gave love so willingly, and always looked past the faults of everyone, she [...]

Ten more

02-Nov-11

After this, 10 more entries to 1,000. In one month, it’ll be eight years of this. I’ll spare you the melodrama, but I don’t know what to do when either milestone is passed. It’s not that I have lost the interest in writing; rather, I don’t have anything to write except for a very narrow [...]

A change in diet

31-Oct-11

Briefly: I was running, eating right and doing generally ok for myself, then got sick and hurt and fell off the wagon. Getting back on the wagon was rough going and then a freak accident forced me to do things I don’t generally like doing: going slow, sleeping and taking a long hard look at [...]

It is ridiculously addictive. The hd version is all three chapters with upgraded resolutions. Its close to 80 hours of gameplay. [...]

Last one. I think it’s funny (and poignant).

Wow, ok. I’ll leave this here. Liver transplant loophole

On Jobs and Apple

09-Oct-11

I think he was a visionary in terms of technology (primarily in user interfaces) and correctly plotted a course for Apple into the digital age, but nothing changes the fact that he was something of a jerk as a person. And heck, I’m a jerk too for owning so many Apple products, built from backbreaking [...]

“MY”

04-Oct-11

A few nights ago I was home alone with the kids and was tasked to put them to bed. After doing Isaac’s routine, it was time to put Nora to bed, which entails reading her stories and such. The two books she picked had the word MY in the title. I decided it would be [...]

Project

We are going to play with the room layout since our goal is to make a room that the kids can play in regularly.

Or “What was I looking for?” is a major problem for me. You wouldn’t believe how frequently I automatically enter certain time wasting URLs while on the phone or waiting for a program to load. So I did the most logical thing and blocked them from the router side. Now all I see is ‘site [...]
