Book review – Emergency
So, I finally managed to tear through another book. The one is called "Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life", and it's written by Neil Strauss. The book chronicles one author's quest to be able to survive in case the … Continue reading
Go-kart racing
Last Wednesday, some folks from my team went to a self funded offsite. The activity? Go-kart racing. As I drove up to the location, I noted that the building was a large warehouse like affair. Indoors? Interesting. As we walked … Continue reading
Fruity pebbles are for kids. Try miracle berries!
In non tech related matters, I got a chance last week to try a quirky little food that I've had my eye on for years. The miracle fruit (see the Wikipedia page) was discovered (by Europeans, god bless our Euro-centric … Continue reading

Problems with the Palm Pre
The new Palm Pre just debuted. Here's the coverage at Engadget. This announcement, for your reference, comes after multiple years of false starts on products like the Foleo, a slightly harebrained idea to tether a shell of a keyboard and screen to … Continue reading
How far can your car go after the gas light comes on?
I'm back from vacation as of earlier this week, but the blogging continues with a weekly Sunday schedule. =) Do you know the answer to the title of this blog post? Do you want to know? If so, then keep reading, … Continue reading
Training your brain
It's 2009, and what better way to kick a new year off than with a blog post? I can think of a few better things, actually, but, since I've been lazy with the blogging, let's knock something out today. I … Continue reading
