Something about us, from homemade soda to being a fake-rebel. Source: touchofmodern.com FIZZY WATER The best thing we have bought, has to be the DrinkMate (by a company from Ann Arbor). Nothing beats making your own soda water at home. I had to buy the machine from Taiwan, then the co2 canister from MongKok. It…

Bitcoin and Coconut Oil
image source: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RbenG-X4ul0/maxresdefault.jpg A few days ago, a few of us, all middle-aged men, had a meal. We talked about Bitcoin, coconut oil, and also kids/sneakers/other entirely unimportant things. Typical of most conversations in life, we tiptoed around these topics, scratched the surface, carefully not to go too deep, because instinctively we all knew some…

The Taste of Mid Life Crisis.
I saw my middle-aged self when I interviewed another middle-aged person, it’s deflating. I had an interview yesterday, and I am a little bit surprised by how I felt about it afterwards. I have been thinking about the experience a lot. I think this was because of the way he behaved was so representative of…

Business Class
I am sitting in this new business class of Cathay on my way to San Francisco. I am heading to Portland for yet another SAMM (don’t ask what this stands for. It wastes your brain space). These seats are great for a short and tiny person like me. It is 100% claustrophobic. It has all…

I should write
I was reading my old posts again. I never checked anything. I guess by writing the fact that I don’t proof read down makes me feel a little better. Even though I can’t really spell and my grammar sucks, I acknowledged it… It is like a confession. You talk about it, kind of acknowledge it,…
