Back when I used Windows 98 and XP, I loved the old versions of ACDSee for my image browsing. It was super fast, auto-fit images perfectly, and had a sweet image browser mode that made it easy to organize my images. I actually stuck to a really old version, 2.43 or 3.10 deliberately [...]

This diet is a very special diet, with a very special name. It is called “The Live Abroad Diet”
I noticed that when I went to China for a month, I lost 10 pounds.
So when I moved abroad to the Philippines, I was prepared for the ensuing weight loss.
I stuck to a filipino diet, home [...]

This is for zsh. I simply put it into my .aliases file, but your .zshrc file is fine.
function rmdir() { rm -f $1/.DS_Store; command rmdir $1 }
The zsh function given at macosx hints is wayyyyy overkill.
It’s always okay to delete the .DS_Store file so there is no need to do any checking.

It’s poorly-wrtten fiction and you think it’s real! Well guess what? There IS not such thing as eternal life! There IS no magical [...]

The other day I realized that religions have changed over history, the earliest forms of religion were animalistic, in tribes, because people were mostly hunters and gatherers at that point.
Later, as people became farmers, their religion had multiple gods based on the seasons, the sun, the moon, mother earth. Then also the [...]

An Episode of Doctor Who made me realize that religion could be morally outlawed.
Specifically, the Doctor and his sidekick, Rose, were approaching a space station when an automated message told them “Guests are reminded that Platform One forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion.”
I had an epiphany at that point, the transmission of religion [...]

A fully acceptable alternative to barefooting is to run in flats. Shoes that are completely flat, have a thin sole, and have no heel cushion.
I have been running with shoes very similar to these thin aqua shoes. Basically been running around in my kayaking shoes.

Just got back from an hour and half of walking/jogging. This is the third time I’ve gone out for a barefoot walk, and I can tell it is starting to toughen up a bit. However, when the feet get tired, it can be painful to get back home.
There is this gravel road that [...]

Today I went for a long walk barefoot, I even ran a bit. It was a bit painful walking over asphalt, pebbles, gravel, but I survived with no cuts. The feet are over-sensitive from lack of use.
Why am I going barefoot? Mainly because it is the natural thing to do. Our [...]
