Why Twitter is Evil

March 20, 2009 / Opinion, Social Media

Ever since I downloaded TwitterFox, I’ve become hopelessly addicted to Twitter…to the detriment of my blog.

It’s become so easy to hear what others have to say in…

January 14, 2009 / Culture, Opinion, Psychology

I finally got myself a gym membership after living in Singapore for 7 months. The experience of a getting a membership was…eventful.

Economic Freedom

September 30, 2008 / Opinion

“Economic freedom means the freedom to succeed and the freedom to fail” – Mike Pence Hold on there, cowboy! Since when was the American economy ‘free’?! If it were free, the American government wouldn’t have forced Microsoft into two. Neither would they need to sign bilateral trade agreements with its neighbors. And don’t forget the…
