Micro-Blogging
So far I’ve had some success at blogging at daily intervals. As you may have noticed that the brievity of my recent blogs. First, the device I blog from now doesn’t let my type as fast as a regular keyboard. Second I am concentrating on the science fiction novel I’m writing now. Just finished the…

Updates to Life
I haven’t blogged about myself in a bit. So here is an update on me: @ Work: Have less than a month left of my probationary period at work. All the signs, indicators and omens point towards my staying on as a fully privileged employee of VisionMAX Solutions. I am very pleased with this situation.…

Blogging the Busy Life
Its funny actually. I imagined that with work, I’d have more money and time to do the things I want. Money is not the issue after all. Time on the other hand, is the ultimate scarce resource. Hence I blog less than I want to. Fortunately as I fall into the rhythm of work, free…

Secondly, I started planning an open source game title. I am excited about these two new experiments. I post more details about…

Digging Out of Self-Made Holes
Right before the end of last year, I made a number of “blue sky” goals for 2008. Unfortunately I fell into a number of self-made holes from last year, that basically prevented me from moving forward.

The Spring of Eternal Winter
I lean my shovel, against the icy snow lining the bottom of my driveway. Exhaustion clouds my thoughts. At least I have defeated the mechanical monstrosity called the snowplough truck. This time maybe it will not come for a while. I watch the dirty brown trickle of melt water, as it skirts the melting floes.…

Episode 2: In Search of Coffee
*Yawn* Olaf rubbed his eyes. He got out of bed, turned on the computer, and shuffled down the stairs to the kitchen. Must have coofffeeee… Olaf thought. Another late, late night kept awake by the thought of the end of the semester. Coffee. He prepared the stove top espresso machine. His body went through the…

Episode 1: Quantum Computing for… Dummies?!?
Olaf squinted at the text document. He tilted his head. Scratched it twice, and yawned. Crap. No matter which way he approached the problem, it seemed like a mountain. One of those mountains, that looks like a molehill at a close distance, but you walk into like you would into Mount Everest. The problem being…
