With a multitude of rumors preceding next week’s Macworld 2009 expo, I started to wonder what type of product Apple could release that would be “perfect” for me. Having been heavily engrossed in the field of technology, I’ve come across my share of gadgets over the years; however, all of them seemed to lack a […]

As a student studying the natural sciences, I find it interesting to see how our current “knowledge” came to be. We’re all familiar with the musings of ancient Greek philosophers and the ground-breaking thinking of 20th century scientists, but how exactly did all of this unfold? I see the advancement as follows:

I really have no idea why I’m writing about posers on Christmas Day, but there’s nothing else to do at this hour. I’m trying to get people’s input on whether or not the phrase “posers do it better” has any merit. For such an awkward phrase, there’s certainly a lot of thought that goes into […]

Life sucks!” Even after I’ve finished my undergraduate studies, I still hear college students stating the aforementioned as if it’s […]

Every week, I chauffeur my mother to our family businesses to pick up deposits, reports, and attend to some regular maintenance. The round trip from home to all our stores and back is roughly 100 miles. This gives me plenty of time to observe the driving tendencies of Houstonians, many of which have inspired me to write this post.

In a world where we ascribe quantities to everything, it’s common to venture into the realm of intangibles. For example, it’s easy to say that “I’m richer than him”, for one’s bank account balance could easily illustrate this claim.
