Drained
I just read Marika’s blog on hunger. And I felt compelled to blog something in return. But today I draw a blank. Yesterday drained the life and will out of me. Not complaining, since it was all my invention and doing. Still the fact remains, I feel drained and without will. And life feels greyer…

A Case of Insomnia
I can’t sleep. After some initial attempts to fall back asleep, including pushups… I just gave up and started surfing the web. Updated my Facebook account and read all of my RSS feeds. Still can not sleep, too much on my mind. Why is trying to do the right thing so difficult? Why is trying…

Reflections in the Rain
Rainy days put me in an reflective mood. Or maybe I’m just in a reflective mood recently. I don’t know. It is raining outside. Rain drops pitter and patter on the sidewalk. On the buildings standing against the pale grey sky. On the cars passing by. On the people busy in their everyday lifes. I…

Shifting Sands and Schedules
I’m blogging this entry fairly late in the day today. I will enjoy sleeping longer and missing being in the office before the sunrises. At least I will enjoy these guilty pleasures for the next couple of weeks. Hence my blogging schedule will be thrown out of whack. But I don’t mind the extra sleep. …

It is On My Desk
No, I’m not mocking Marika’s blog name. Rather this morning I am tired and uncreative. At this point, the creative artist starts stealing ideas from more inspired artists. Over the course of my university career, I learned the elegant art of organization. The results from just a little effort and some smart thinking goes a…

Grey Clouds, Sunny Outlook
I get into the office really early in the morning. These past fews I normally got greeted with a dark sky and street lights. Each day the sunrise earlier. But each day the sun would rise, brilliant lines of yellow, orange, red and pink would form across the skyline. In the distance the CN tower,…

Why I Like Free Software and Freedom
Adding freedom to software is a great business tactic. It gives back control to the customer, who now becomes not just another faceless entity to pilfer. Now the customer becomes a client, a person with real goals, ambitions and needs. And libre software/open source is a guarantee to serve those needs. But it need not…

Echo 14: Something
Lets try something new. I’ll comment on Marika’s blog posts with another blog post. This will make it easier to respond, generate a larger audience and increase posts per day. Yes, I’m pigbacking on somebody else’s work. 🙂 So without further ado, I present a new sporadic feature: Echoes to Ramblings. In response to Ramblings…

An Encore
I didn’t update my blog yesterday. Life turned out busier than I could imagine. I am still catching up on things. I took on so many tasks. I have a trip to plan. Writing and reading just piles up around me. I’m not sure in which direction I should concentrate my efforts. My efforts to…

Sleepless in Toronto
It is too early to blog this morning. I’m sitting in at work in an empty office space. Alone, just a few lights and mostly in the dark. Still dark outside with some street lights, the slow moving lights of communter’s car and random distant lights of various colours. The sun still has an hour…
