This year was a very constructive year for me. I have learned many new things and I have boosted my perspective in life. I have put names to ideas and fears I have.
Sometimes you believe in something but you don’t know what it is or how to put it into words; it’s not fully internalized and rooted inside you. For me this was the idea of simplicity and minimalism. In a way, I’ve...

It’s amazing how such a “simple” application has such power. I am moving more and more into plaintext so most of that is irrelevant but it’s cool that it’s there. I’m a huge Notational Velocity fan btw.

I hate slow days
I came back from the coffee machine, sat on my chair and saw an albino fly on my right monitor. I thought to myself: “This must be the first time I’ve ever seen an albino fly.” My brain activity had been so slow during the day that it took a second or so for me to realize it wasn’t an albino fly, it was just my mouse cursor.

Her name is not as known and as celebrated as it should be. She helped transform Facebook from a startup/web2.0 company to the...
What Math? →

It is the unconsciously held delusion that mathematics is a set of rules and formulas that have been worked out by God knows who for God knows why, and the student’s duty is to...
Kindle Is Amazon’s Best Seller, Even in an iPad... →
I love both my iPad and my Kindle. I bought the iPad first but after trying the comforts of a e-ink display and reading such good reviews about the Kindle 3 I bought one. Having the books available on any device was a huge reason why I started buying books on the Kindle Store in the first place. The smaller and lighter form factor of the Kindle and its e-ink display make a huge difference for long...

WatchBrene Brown: The power of vulnerability | Video on TED.com
These past few weeks I’ve been very interested in the power of human connection. Brene Brown’s words on vulnerability are right on target and make one think about the kind of things we’re missing out because of fear of being vulnerable. One of the best TED Talks I’ve ever watched.
