I have to take my life on the chin.

Home is not only for downtime.

For instance, am I myself a home-grown English language geek?

The sales gimmick of offering free publications degrades printing material a lot.

Being rude to people won't get one anywhere.

Man, nowadays so many young people simply abjure computing devices that are not made by Apple Inc.

On the other hand, is Apple sheerly a consumer computing Goliath?

Garble passwords and foil potential crackers.

Personally I think 'segue' to be a euphonious word.

A yummy meal makes you feel satisfied and chilled-out.

"Global" "variable". It sounds nice, huh?

I endeavor to acquire knowledge and know-how.

That's my life.

Pinocchio is an Italian name, indeed.

I don't know how all those many young Canadian students, who are quite used to expending their time in designer coffee houses, will develop their own sense of parsimony.

Sometimes we have to abide ignorance.

Those forms used by Canadian governments are neat with perforated lines.

How I wish the computer peripherals companies act in concert with Linux, in place of Windows.

Let's hope that China's real estate segment won't be an unmitigated disaster.

You see dogs sniff here and there.

They are smart creatures.

Females clamor for glamor, on Facebook, Pinterest, and so on.

Chillax, I'm better off without watching or reading news about the latest various crises across the world.

Chromebook vs. Windows laptop may look like a David and Goliath comparison.

But the former has got significant potential to eventually win over the latter and dominate personal desktop computing for the mass, down the road.

The command-line in desktop Linux easily segues into its counterpart in server Linux.

Ah, the patience of Job.

Well, 'cosplay' is such a new word in English that it didn't appear in major English dictionaries published in 2004 which I own.

While many small restaurants are jostling for survival, they should go the handmade foodstuff route.

Cooperative individuals are valuable.

You, as a boy or man, build, adjust, and titivate your hair style in front of the mirror.

That's your necessary grain of vanity.

Many Girls merely use their swanky Macbooks to view pics and flicks mostly, it seems.

The last name part of Mr. Desmond Tutu, 'Tutu', has nothing to do with the tutu worn by ballerinas at all.

According to http://www.ourbabynamer.com/meaning-of-Tutu.html , the name Tutu is of African origin and its meaning is 'cliff dweller'.

"管弦燁煜"。

'Drunk', 'befuddled', 'intoxicated', ...

There are so many words to describe drunkenness in English.

Freedom comes with prices for individuals. So be circumspect.

Don't view pics and videos of glamor models and sexpots too much.

Stay out of harm's way.

Is there usually more altruism in puppy love than in adult love?

What's the point of clamoring for a newer Android phone every two years?

Ah, the toxic consumeristic culture in North America.

'Immutable' is such a commonplace word in software development.

Normally I feel more like coming in from the cold at a café than at a cafeteria.

Tim Horton's is a notable exception, though.

A 'smock' is a totally different thing than a 'smog'.

But it's not so much distinct from an 'apron'.

I enjoyed the bracing winter air today.

The English combining form 'nano-' is slightly larger than 'pico-'.

Now I know where the little text editor Nano stands in UNIX-like systems. Anyway, the somewhat venerable and light Pico text editor has ceased development long time ago.

I'm about to comb through a text tutorial on the Nano editor.

Do you miss the demure ways by which women used to act, in the good old days?

Both smartphones and feature phones are mobile phones.

Snazzy OS X, formidably penetrating Windows, and deeply powerful Linux.

I choose the latter two for serious desktop computing. Which ones do you pick?

In Canada, the Trudeaus are luminaries, inherently.

I have no idea about why native Westerners seem to like the word 'serendipity' so much.

"Deuteronomy" and "2 Thessalonians" are the two chapters in the Bible that I recently touched.

There seem to be many more busybodies in China than in Canada.

Are "hidebound minds" and "fundamentalists" often synonymous in the real world?
