Here we go again

Bitcoin is very close to passing its all time high price point. 

The last time was in May of this year. It was on a sharp rise upwards when Elon Musk tweeted some nonsense and the dive down started.

Office Space.

Today I heard about a random firing of almost 70 people in one department of a company.

NFTs

I have started my research into NFTs. It is still a confusing topic for me. Yet I see that there is some potential to make money in it. I decided to look into it after reading a few people I follow talk about it. Gary V. in particular is excited...

Name as reply to What's in a name

If my memory serves me right, I have written about this from an immigrant perspective. But in this context, here are my views:

1. I think it is HORRENDOUS that it is only the father's name that is attached to the children's names in almost ALL cultures around the world. Excuse...

Squid Game

Yesterday I started watching the show Squid Game on Netflix.

For majority of the day, I did what I enjoy. Total rest. 

I designed a few tshirts. 
I designed a few dresses.

I played over 6 hours...

Retrospective
