Your bugs? Nothing wrong with them. The code simply does the wrong thing. It was not intended. But that’s what it does now. What will you do about it? Some don’t ship it. They understand that it’s not functionally doing what is expected, and so take the time to revi...

Just as the shattered inner glass lining of a thermos no longer retains the warmth or cold of its contents, I feel my essence seeping out through the cracks that life has left behind. Each fracture, a testament to the trials and tribulations I’ve endured. Some cracks were formed by external...

Life’s journey is a profound teacher, offering us invaluable lessons through our experiences. Today, I want to share three pivotal moments in my life that have not only shaped me but have also highlighted the immense potential for growth and self-discovery that exists within each of us. Throug...

We engaged in a deep conversation lasting approximately an hour, discussing our career choices, the possibilities life offers, and our satisfaction levels with our current work. This transpired over cups of coffee and indulgent creamy mushroom croissants, or as I affectionately call them, “Qwa...

The internet, and I include the world wide web in that word, has become a messy, chaotic, unruly mess. Navigating a news media site to actually get to the article you want to read has become a nightmare. Streaming services are taking us back to the age of regular cable TV with ads. Social Media plat...

This unique artwork features a ‘death simulator’ that offers participants a glimpse into the experience after one’s heart ceases to beat. The project aims to visualise the process of bodily death, prompting contemplation on the brevity of human life in comparison to the vastness ...

Think fewer crowds, mountains, greenery all around, chirping of birds so loud & clear as if you’re passing through a bird sanctuary, above all the purest form of air you’ve ever breathed, that’s the scene of the Railway Station of Srinagar. Yes, unlike what most Indians witness...

As a digital exhibition addresses its immersive experience as the key selling point, “Connection” provides a unique way for people to experience and appreciate digital artworks. This experience underscores the importance of audience engagement and provides a glimpse into the possibili...

What’s the first thing after landing? It’s definitely searching how to go to the city. From London and Stansted Airport, the airport express ticket is about 20 GBP (24 EUR). Then guess how much the airport express bus ticket in Prague costs? It is 100 CZK (4 EUR). It is ONLY one-sixth...

Living in Western Canada was a chapter of my life that holds a special place in my heart. From the breathtaking landscapes to the warm and welcoming communities, the experiences I had while residing in this region have left an indelible mark on my soul. As I reflect on those cherished memories, I fi...

Just look at that photo. I bet you didn’t even know this kind of place exists. I know that feeling because I didn’t know this kind of place existed before either. You also probably wouldn’t know that this is not only one of the most spectacular natural sceneries on the planet. T...

How do I get to know about this Camino? To be honest, before coming to Europe, I never heard about Camino de Santiago. The encounter with Elena, a friend that I met in Lourdes, France last December 2021, made me know about this. She shared her experience of finishing her Camino in three different...

The Silicon Valley African Film Festival (SVAFF) is a culturally packed, vibrant film festival with a vibe like no other. It displays Africa’s diversity, authenticity, and joy de vivre. It’s a platform for discovery and exploration for friends and fans of the African continent. I’v...

I stared out the window on the morning of my first retirement day, sipped a cup of coffee, and wondered what the future would bring. Like other retirees, I had big dreams and little fears, and no matter how much I planned — and I did plan a lot — retirement was still a giant amorphous...

Put as abstract questions about independent self-essence or existence, these philosophical questions can seem impersonal and academic. They certainly can be, but one way to see their importance beyond philosophical theory is to remember that these issues also apply to you. You, the person currently ...

I’ve only had that experience once. It happened well over 30 years ago when I served my curacy (trainee vicar) on a tough housing estate on the outskirts of Bradford, my home city in the North of England. I heard a noise upstairs — and for a while, I assumed it was my (then) wife clat...

Following last year’s tradition of summarising my thoughts and learnings, I decided to switch things up this year. Instead of waiting until the end of the fourth quarter to reflect on the year, I chose to share something each month based on my experiences. It’s been quite rewarding...

Some time in the 16th or 17th centuries a legend developed about one of the greatest Rabbis in Jewish history, the Maharal of Prague, Judah Loew ben Bezalel (Hebrew: יהודה ליווא בן בצלאל; between 1512 and 1526–17 September 1609). The tale, which is well known, tells ...

In connection to our lecture, Heneral Luna is without a doubt a work of art, which illustrates how power, in terms of political circumstances, affects our history and the whole mankind. To see the film for the first time has driven me into this feeling of immense anger and sorrow for our much-loved ...

When I took the AP Art History class during my exchange year in high school in Chicago, I had only thought about art for its aesthetic. I remember the class would have us do matrices where we had to analyze the physical detail of an artwork and its functions in history. During our museum visits to s...

Language, an intricate tapestry of sounds and symbols, serves as a profound reflection of human thought. It not only facilitates communication but also offers a window into the cognitive processes underpinning our understanding of the world. This section delves into how language reveals intuitive hu...
