Embracing Minimalism and Reducing Footprint

Reduce Your Footprint.

Recently, I took some time to evaluate and reevaluate again everything around me. More importantly, how I as a person affect the world around me and within me.

I believe that everything has a soul. We are all vibrations and thus how we do anything consequentially affects how we do everything and how everything responds back to us.

This may seem like a quirky concept but it has helped me dig deeper and delve into the abyss of my mind with a filter or lense that helps me in making sense of it all. By doing this, I somehow arrived at a new purpose in life. Continue reading

Darkness Reborn…

Hiatus and Shift in Thinking

So I have been in hiatus with my writing particularly because I had a few last minute stuff to resolve and move back to my home. Its great to be back online though.

While I was in the midst of getting all these done, I had alot of time to think and ponder upon topics of interest. I’ve also been kinds off in a letting go mood. Not really committing to things that are not in the top of my priorities list. Its kinds of an interesting shift considering how I have been living for this past life of mine. I kinda want to give myself a rebirth now. Do things my way rather than the ways that surround me. Continue reading

This post is for Humans Only …

Have you ever had one of those days ?

You know, the days where you just feel like you’re brain isn’t working at its optimal pace and all you feeling like doing is curling up and sleeping. If you say no, chances are, you’re one of those super highly motivated, constantly productive, mythical beings and if you are one of those, please ping me because I’d love to learn how to not ever have those days.

For the rest of us though, my initial investigations lead me to believe that this could be brought on by one of two things : Continue reading

5 Sure-Fire Ways To Better Tutorials

Tutorials are better with videos.

I am currently in the midst of preparing a ton of handover tutorials and documentation for my final contract before I take some time off in March to chill and start my own thing. My current co-workers consists of quite a wide mix of people who are very tech friendly to some who have not been exposed to the seedy underbelly of technology and thus have no idea how things work until its broken down, step-by-step. NOTE: This is my own personality – I can’t learn new technologies unless I am shown the basics, step-by-step, after which I tend to explore and pick up stuff rather quickly.

While I loathe preparing step-by-step tutorials by default due to the tedious time consuming black hole that it is, I found a secret loophole and now am enjoying my work more than ever. Continue reading

Linear Thinking vs Lateral Thinking in Blog Posts

Because writing lists is so yesterday, sometimes.

If you have noticed, a bunch of my most recent blog posts were not step by step, list oriented blog posts. Most of them were very abstract ideas and thoughts and visions that were floating around in my mind for quite a while and I desperately wanted to get them out on paper and to the world.

Why I choose to write such blog posts despite having the knowledge that my most popular post so far was a list based post is because I am a strong believer in Lateral Thinking when it comes to expressing ideas. This does not mean that I am dismissing Linear Thinking under any account but instead what this means is that I encourage more people to start thinking a little more laterally compared to the inverse.

The Secret to Setting Goals and Achieving Them

Because New Year Goals are too Mainstream

As we approach the new year, I am sure there will be a ton of people out there who begin once again a diligent ritual of setting goals. While I don’t oppose the notion of goal setting, I instead oppose the pseudo significance of placing one day among all other days of the year on the high pedestal of personal achievement.

You better mind what’s out there…

I wonder what’s out there

Have you ever wondered what’s out there ? In a space where most claim to see and feel and understand but instead, fill with their own filters and lenses.

Have you ever pondered what’s beyond the boundaries set by a force you so fail to comprehend? A force so diligent that it starts working and never stops, instead only tainted by age. Continue reading

The Death of Freedom One Step at a Time

Recently, Usenet’s freedom to post information without restriction has been under concerted attack by copyright activists, who have used targeted DMCA takedown notices to harass some of the largest providers out of existence. This is particularly because a large number of downloaders and file sharers have now considered to newsgroups to be their primary source of content. Continue reading
