I beleive in everything and I beleive in nothing. I suspect everyone and I suspect no one. I take all the facts into consideration and I solve the case !

BandAid

I don’t fear no cuts no more,
because I got the forest in a collage.
Concrete jungles all around,
But I’m in camouflage.

What browser are you using?

I just realized I haven’t touched Internet Explorer for the last year or so. Living off Google Chrome and Firefox. Is anyone using IE?
And to illustrate my point, here goes stats from two blogs I own(/co-own). The stats are for the last 6 months. Pageviews for both of them are in the range of 15k [...]

Working class hero

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you [...]

The book is being turned into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and is being directed by Martin Scorsese. Scheduled for [...]

Just read : Outliers

I remember listening to Malcolm Gladwell at one of our office conferences where he was the guest speaker. He’s [...]

There’s a corelation between my internet wireless connection and the AC in my room.
This is at the guesthouse I’ve been staying for the last week or so, and will be staying for the next few months. One thing you should know about my wireless, is that I’m leeching internet off [...]

Newspaper comics in 1945

I can’t believe they allowed comics with jokes like this back then!

This is from The Deseret News. - Aug 11, 1945, a couple of days after the second atomic bomb was dropped on Japan (in Nagasaki).
Skip to page 8 for the comics.

Currently reading: The Complete Maus

The graphic novel that won the Pulitzer prize.

Artwork- Kickass!
Storyline - compelling, gripping, and generally brilliant.
The story is about the concentrations camps during WW II.  Quoting from The Times review,
Spiegelman portrays the Nazis as cats, the Jews as mice, the Poles as pigs and the Americans as dogs. They’re all terrifyingly human.
Did I say the artwork [...]
