Why an Engineering Manager Should Not Review Code

A Metal Unit Review

I attended Fullfat’s first shows in 2017–2018 when Warehouse 30 was not yet opened, and another one staged in a small room in Siampic Theatre. Nopphan has a unique approach and presentation, so edgy that many theatre students and Bohemians join forces with Fullfat back then and up until ...

“NOWHERELAND: THE EDEN” (Ray-O, Bangkok, 2022) A performance review

Itwas several years ago that I tapped into Ray-O’s “Nowhereland” myself. The thesis of his play was intrusive. It connected with the part where my truth lied and transformed how I saw the world to some extent. He is still obsessed with the human psyche, the quality that m...

Trip Review: Pico Blanco via Coast Road & the Little Sur Trail

Pico Blanco became a point of interest later for me than other Big Sur locales, largely due to how hard it is to get good, updated information on the trail and the best way to reach the summit. While this isn’t uncommon for backcountry trails in Big Sur, for Pico this seems to be especially tr...
