I hadn't read Camus for a while. A decade now; almost two. (It somehow confuses me to be able to talk about the past in decades and not years.) I remember him well as he was the first author whose books I bought at Kinokuniya, the bookstore I always found too high-end, but that carried... Continue Reading →
As you may know, I love to type. I believe I did my first online typing test when I was about 15, and since then have been hooked. For the next 20-odd years I've been doing typing tests every once in a while, sometimes much more than once in a while, not necessarily to improve... Continue Reading →
As I started to write a little less last year due to a job change and a significantly different life routine due to the pandemic and kids it, it became increasingly easier to write even less. The longer I went without writing, the easier it was to just not. Kind of like the Lindy Effect... Continue Reading →
On a run yesterday, I was listening to an audiobook that reminded me that we sometimes get too enamored about numbers - our salary; our weight; hours of sleep; even Covid-19 related deaths. Because we're so concerned about the numbers we sometimes forget to live. That is, until we are close to death. Today because... Continue Reading →
If you know me, you'd know that I changed jobs earlier this year. And with this change in job, my focus shifted as well. We all have 24 hours in a day, and how we spend those hours depends a lot on our priorities, on what we deem as important. And what we deem important... Continue Reading →
I've been writing a lot less here. I suppose life gets in the way, you know. Change in job; kids getting a little more demanding; prioritising running a little more than writing. But, you know... excuses (though the last point above regarding priorities probably is accurate -- life's gotten a little topsy-turvy of late and... Continue Reading →
I read an article from some scientist who was very much against masks and the belief that they helped prevent the spread of Covid-19. His argument was that masks didn't do anything, and were more of a comfort blanket. They were something governments mandated to show that they were "doing something". The Covid-19 virus, according...

Currently reading the book Triggers and came across a chapter that reminding me of something I've experienced all the time but didn't quite know the name of: decision fatigue. What it is: you make decisions or have a rough day (e.g. working on that tough project; smiling when you don't really want to), and you're... Continue Reading →
For the longest time I have felt like writing here on edonn.com, but life got in the way. Specifically, I was too busy changing jobs. After close to eight years at Study Group I decided it was time for a change, and so here I am now at Vonage. Leaving Study Group was one of... Continue Reading →
Not the fastest.Not the brightest.Not the strongest.Not the biggest.Not the richest. Just more consistent than most. That was a musing from my last run as I overtook the guy who sprinted past me in the penultimate leg of my run. He stopped. I didn't. I won. (Yeah, I know he wasn't racing me. But I...
