Life and Driving Analogy

Last week on Friday, I made a trip to the northern part of Tasmania. I wanted to escape from my laptop for two nights over Easter, meditate, and, of course, enjoy the ambient nature of Tasmania. It has been some moons since I cut a long drive out of town. I do fancy long drives; … More Life and Driving Analogy

Facebook Love

My good friend Kit doesn’t know why I’m fascinated with Facebook. He actually bought me a good book, Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport on my last birthday when he welcomed me to the famous third floor.

We could crack jokes to no end about how Africans are genetically empowered against Corona Virus. As a matter of fact, we took part in forwarding chain messages and memes on … More Exposed Humanity
