The year is almost over and I am very disappointed to say that I did not read much this year. Reading has always been very important to me. Below is my 2018 reading list. I’ve been trying to figure out ways on how to increase the number of books I read per year. It’s not that I did not pick up anything to read at all. I started reading quite a lot but barely finished […]
Okay, I have more than two e-mails, but that’s beside the point right now. I consider myself a very secure person until I was hacked this year. I have 2-step authentications and SMS authentications for most of my accounts that have the feature. However, I am guilty of something a lot of people take for granted, not only do I have a relatively easy password; I use the same password for all my online accounts. […]
I started blogging and teaching myself to code (mostly design web pages) almost twenty years ago. I’ve thought over and over of quitting blogging, and for some reason, I cannot seem to do it. Turning thirty (one and a half year ago) was a very pivotal moment in my life. I would like to think I had my “Aha!” moment then. No, I didn’t suddenly know everything nor did I figured things out, but I […]

By the way, I wrote about learning about HTML and CSS before, do check that out. The Best Programming Language There are a lot of programming languages and it’s important you find the one you’re interested in. First, check out this handy tool to know the Best […]
“What would you do today if you knew you would not fail? Now go out and do it.” Josh Duhamel said this in the movie New Year’s Eve Movie. My best friend was urging me to create a vision board for weeks now, “Make a vision board and wake up to it every day. Make it happen. No more excuses.” he said. I have so many dreams, and they’ve been on hold for the longest […]
He founded Silk Road. I think it’s best to explain a couple of things before I proceed. The reason I’m writing about Ross Ulbricht is because I want people to understand why I keep saying that they (we) know nothing. I’ve recently read a two-part article/story on The Wired about him, which I believe is one of the most wonderfully written piece of article I’ve read for a long time (link below). After reading this, you’ll […]
One of my favorite courses in uni was Philosophy. It kept me motivated to achieve my engineering degree. I learned a lot from it and listed below are some: Smile Project: You smile at everyone and note down the reaction of each and everyone and what happens next. I realized the power of smiles. Patriarchy: I read a book on patriarchy and its history. It was an old book, “Who Cooked the Last Supper?: The Women’s History of […]
Winter is almost over in the desert. Soon freezing nights (well freezing at least in my opinion, you know how I despise cold weather as much as I hate tropical climate) will be replaced by sweat-filled dreams and more CO2 emissions than usual. It isn’t that hot yet though and for some reason I feel that this change in season is affecting my life more than it should. It’s as if I placed all my […]
