I Want to Write a Book
I want to write a book, but I am unsure what it should be about. While I have plenty of words to type, being concise and specific often leaves me frozen. This isn’t the typical writer’s block, as I write words daily, sometimes in large quantities. However, understanding that writing a book likely requires choosing…

Adjusting Focus
After several hours in front of my computer, I shift my attention from the screen to a book on my coffee table. Initially, I thought my blurred vision was just a sign of tiredness. My eyes were watery, making it hard to read the words clearly. I rubbed my eyes to clear them, and when…

Slow Down, Be Bored, Savor Life
A few years ago, my motivation and enthusiasm for work diminished. Every Monday, I would dread the idea of starting a new week. I was burned out.

The Apple Vision Pro: Friend or Foe to Human Bonds?
Have you seen it? Apple’s newest product, their “spatial computer” or simply put, a headset, is out. I’ve used the Oculus headset, so having such a gadget on my face is no big deal. But the kicker is, these gizmos are mostly geared towards solo fun. The Internet was supposed to bring us closer to…

Summer is almost upon us, and in my mind, it doesn’t just herald the beginning of a season, but a new year – odd as it may sound. It’s a period when life typically slows down, creating room for travel, adventures, exploration of new ideas, places, hobbies, books, and more. It presents an opportunity to…

Day Two at MS Build 2023: A Developer’s Perspective
There’s something infectious about the energy of the second day at MS Build 2023 – it’s as if the conference has found its rhythm, hitting stride in a way that eclipses the initial day. Sure, the food leaves something to be desired, but hey, who attends tech conferences for the cuisine? The day kicked off…

Unpacking My First Day at MS Build 2023
Ah, the allure of a tech conference. I can still recall the days when these gatherings were all about exploring new programming paradigms, delving into the depths of coding tools, and crafting apps that could change the world. I can vividly recall my first Microsoft conference – an experience I had to pay for myself…
