Our apartment building is hosting the annual Halloween party, and it has been the best one so far. Not that I really know, we haven’t been to many, and this one we only just popped into, mostly to grab a few free snacks and beers. It would be nice to go down and be social,…

Our next door neighbour is making his NBA debut today, and we wanted to celebrate for him! Not knowing what exactly he might want, we decided to go for something everyone like, Chocolate Cake. Although he’s just a rookie, he has the famous number 23 on his jersey, which, fun fact, was the same number…

My sports watch hit the hay last week, so I was in the market for a new one. In the past, I have usually gone with the classic black Swatch, but over the years I suspect they have downgraded their quality. They used to be terrific, but now, while still handsome and affordable, I just…

Looking after a baby means that your list of hobbies can’t involve hiking the Inca Trail on a lark, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have ANY time to do interesting side projects. Today, after putting it off for a while, I got back to my software project. It is small scale, and will…

Over the weekend, Donald Trump added another career path to his collection, including real estate mogul, tv star, WWE contestant, and of course, president. It was the most American of jobs: working the drive-thru window at McDonalds. From an optics point of view, I think it looks good. Despite being a billionaire (or so he…

For some reasons, the daily emails haven’t been coming through. I’m very sorry, especially as I think there have been a few bangers recently.

Cooking a steak is easy, but cooking it well can be a challenge. The issue lies in the fact that a deliciously cooked steak requires two components; a juicy red interior, cooked to medium rare, and a caramelise crust on the exterior, courtesy of the Maillard reaction. Seems simple enough, but to achieve this, you…

So, we did it. Or at least Ky did it, and I cheered her on. Now, it was time for some well earned rest. We honestly couldn’t have had a better time at Rose Hospital. After the delivery, we spent two days in the hospital, which originally I thought was overkill. Two days! I want…

When Ky and I woke up on Monday morning, the first thing I heard was that she was 3cm dilated (the goal is 10) and it was all systems go. Today was the day. We were going to become parents. It started slowly. Over the next two or three hours, it was simply a waiting…

I guess it started at the H-Mart. In what feels like a lifetime ago, Ky and I were spending a quiet Sunday in Aurora picking up a few noms and lunch. As we drove back, I distinctly remember us discussing how frustrating it was that baby hadn’t arrived yet, and how Ky had already burned…
