Here in Battambang finding a quiet moment to simply write or do my usual overthinking seems daunting. We went with my wife’s long lost daughter and her friends. It becomes a never ending social discourse on their lives before. What was...

I won’t go into the reasons why you should use a password manager. I’m assuming that if you’re reading this blog, you’re nerdy enough to already have one. Right? Anyway, I’ve used plenty of password managers over the years. I’ve used...

Walking through the bamboo path, I find a moment all my own. 竹林を歩きながら、自分だけのひとときを見つける。
