Found this in a book...

"We are, after all, nothing more than the sum of our memories and the indelible impressions that we have felt at one time or another."

So true.

Vietnamese Crack

So, my colleague stopped in this morning to pick something up and brought me a cup of crack... more widely known as coffee. Vietnam is said to have the best coffee in the world. I like coffee as much as the next guy, but I'm no expert. I will say, however, the coffee here is among the most delicious, fantastic, nearly refreshing things Vietnam has to offer.

I didn't really need it though so now I feel wired and strung-out. Maybe when I get out of work I'll finally do the fabric shopping I've been putting off for the past eight months.

Disclaimer: Vietnamese coffee, while sweet and delicious, will wreak havoc on your digestive system, and then you will crawl back for more because, despite the probable discomfort, you simply cannot resist.

Technologies of the Future

I'm sure I'm supposed to be excited about all of the things this article discusses, but is anyone else out there mildly terrified about all of the potential bad that will come with this supposed "good"? (You know, assuming we make it through 2012.)

23 incredible technologies you'll see by 2021

Matador Network is my all-time favourite site, it's full of interesting and informative information and a lot of the writers are just travelling around, experiencing life and the world. I'd write for them, but you have to take their class and that, like most wonderful things, costs money.

Hope you're all well. It's a working weekend for me :( But serious discussions about Siem Reap are happening. So exciting!

Lauren, You can live, work and study in the USA

Dear Lauren,

Please find information about applying for a Green Card in the USA below from our Client "USAGC".

Best Regards,

Really? Can I live, work, and study in the USA? I didn't know my CITIZENSHIP allowed that. Idiots.

Off to yoga!

Good advice

"We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, [leave]." John Waters

So, "leave" was a different phrase, but it wasn't appropriate for all of my readership. Even if I wasn't working in books, I'd have to agree.

The IT Crowd

I'm not sure what this country is doing to my sense of humour... but I've really come to enjoy The IT Crowd

It is hilarious. Check it out if you can, not sure if it's broadcasted in the US.
