  • welcome to 2022 (& reality)

    Welcome to 2022. Let us keep faith that common sense, logic and integrity will prevail over this year in terms of C19. Is Omicron a gift from Mother nature/God/Allah/Ganesh/the universe?

  • 2021 review of best new stuff plus what is happening in 2022

    Well, it wasn’t an easy year, but sometimes the most challenging things become the most valuable things in life.
