What’s next?
Peter Drucker is really an amazing man. I learn new things from his book everytime I read them. Last night, I read this book (for the 5th time), this paragraph got me thinking: The decline of manufacturing as a producer of wealth and jobs changes the world’s economic, social, and political landscape.

Unison = Peace of Mind
I have a lot of files. I kept all my files since 90s, documents, emails, everything. These files are scattered across different desktops and notebooks as I move them from one to another over the years. It become confusing and difficult to keep track of all my files. So while sorting out my desktops and […]

Determinism
Rojisan’s entry on determinism was very interesting and reminded me something about inventors and innovators. Inventors are usually brilliant people but they are also very stubborn.
