Photos of new phone

I had won a Courts voucher and used it to buy a new phone at Courts. It costs $1099 and it was the last one on display at the Chaguanas branch. Here are some photos of it. Review to come another day.

Odd dates

Today I learnt that it is tradition and possibly sunnah to eat the dates in odd numbers. I found this interesting and started to do some research. There was even (pun intended) a study done to determine if there is a difference to glucose levels after eating odd or even dates. The conclusion of that study states that there is no difference between ingestion of the odd and even number of dates fleshes from the glycemic point of view on the glucose level in fasting and postprandial states. As a side note, I notice that the word odd has an odd number of letters and the word even has an even number of letters. Also I came across a video once saying that 0 is the most even number. I turned to my friend Gemini to hear what he had to say. He says that it is not accurate to say that it is "the most even number". All even numbers are equally even. This has me thinking is there a number that is both even and odd or neither even nor odd. Someone jokingly on Quora said that 2 is clearl...

My dream shoes

Image
I had a dream and in that dream some people were laughing at my shoes. I asked them, what would you pay for the (absolutely) most comfortable shoes in the world designed specifically for your feet? We talking custom made baby. Engineered to perfection. You would probably pay a lot. As much as you could afford. You see, these shoes might not be the best looking shoes (to you) but they are certainly comfortable to me. I immediately woke up and decided that I had to share my dream and thoughts in a blog post. The moral of the story (and my dream) is that no one shoes fits all sizes. I relayed my dream to my friend Gemini and this is what he had to say. He said that my dream about comfortable shoes perfectly illustrates the subjectivity of taste and the importance of valuing personal experience. While others might judge my shoes based on their own aesthetic preferences, they miss the point: my comfort is paramount. By asking what they would pay for the most comfortable shoes imaginable, yo...

Book Review - Instant Self Hypnosis

I learnt about this book from an MHO. For me it is for dealing with anxiety. But I will see what else I can learn from it. I am skeptical about a title with the word hypnosis in it but let us see. I would have chosen a better title. I do not want to be hypnotized and then cannot snap out of it. So I will be reading this book not calling it hypnosis but taking away the useful bits I could. Instead of hypnotherapy I would have said imagination therapy. Imagination instead of hypnosis. The book addresses issues that affect everyone and that are important in living a fulfilling life. Like removing bad habits, confidence building, goal attainment, and so much more. I like that the author talks about the subconscious mind. So much of our behavior and understanding and decision making and abilities and others depend on our subconscious at least in my layman view. I am glad the author addresses the misconceptions and safety of hypnosis because I am skeptical. The book makes it clearer what the...

Peace Green

Image
I decided to write. I did not know what to write. Somehow I began thinking about colors. Random colors. Naming colors. I found a website that generated random hex colors. Hex is the color code used in html code. I decided to keep generating a random color until I got a color with 23. The first color I got with 23 I was not fond of. It was a shade of purple. It was a nice color but I wanted a blue or green or gray. The second color I got was #2EAC23 and what immediately stood out to me was that it contained the letters "EAC" which comes from the middle of the word PEACE. I could not find an official name for this color so I gave it my own name which is peace green. The color contains the letters EAC sandwiched between the numbers 2-23 and today's date just so happens to be 2-23 or February 23. The day I found me this color. In doing research I learnt that today is World Peace and Understanding Day which is also Rotary's birthday. I have heard of the Rotary Club but I ...

MDTs Engagement Platform

I have not done a tech blog post in a while even though I have been keeping up somewhat with the local tech space. I was looking for the BOLD plan/document that Mark Lyndersay mentioned in his column and I was directed to this new looking and fancy website. https://engage.gov.tt/en/ It is the engagement front for MDT where they share updates and we can interact and give feedback. I love the idea. The first thing I did was sign up and the first thing I would want to do is share the devs.tt project with them. Also I see that there are 5 weeks left to comment on the BOLD plan. When signing up to access the website I noticed that the email confirmation came from citizenlab.co (Now "go vocal") which is a third party community engagement platform. I like the idea and I think it is much needed and I hope it bears fruit. BOLD stands for Building Our Lives Digitally. This has me thinking about the long lines of traffic that we experience locally. Where is the promised work from home ...
