A tribute to 31 young men and women who I’ve spent the last year with learning software engineering.
Renaissance – 7 Years After…
Wow! I mean, I finally got back to writing here! Amazing stuff! It was just over 7 years ago I published my last blog post and I am back here today. What triggered it? I sincerely can’t tell you. But it really feels good. How am I going to do this now? I sincerely don’t…
The Light – L2W
Lyrics 2 Words (L2W) is a project I’ve wanted to write for a long time. It’s just me converting songs (especially hip-hop and R&B) to words in a way anyone can read and find meaning. Some songs are quite deep and may be useful for a lot more people than those who actually listen to…
The Case of the Foundational Immigrant

A Remembrance of You
I say goodbye one last time. How do I begin? How do I start to tell the story of love that might have been but never was and, because of what has happened, will never be! It’s really sad! I never heard a thing. And that was because we’ve grown apart and so far away…
Bad Gunners, Good Gunners! Death to Narratives Pt. 2
This follow-up to the previous post will focus more on general team and club issues over time. The last post addressed why I think we were all overreacting to the Chelsea loss. Yes, we have lost to the top four teams more often than not in the last 5 or 10 seasons (whatever stats you…
