Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,Old Time is still a-flying;And this same flower that smiles todayTo-morrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he’s a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he’s to setting.That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse, and… Continue reading “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”

World of Tomorrow
Watched the World of Tomorrow last night after seeing a 100% score from the critics. It is a fabulous dark comedy indeed and a stark reminder that the future of technology might not be so positive. In World of Tomorrow they talk about transfer of consciousness; I’ve written a post or two about future technology/AI…… Continue reading World of Tomorrow

I remember when this came out and what a hit it was. It was also unique in that the…… Continue reading Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
I’ve finally finished The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. I began reading it many years ago but only made it about halfway. I picked it up again half a year ago when I became interested in mediation and thought it might offer some insights. Needless to say it has taken quite…… Continue reading The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
Journal Entry – 9.1.2016 – Current Society, Ancient Rome and Business Speak
It is 5:56 AM. I haven’t been to the gym in the while as my body is just tired: it is tired from karate, from endless appointments, from visitors and from stress at work and tired from two young children of mine. Instead of waking up at 4:00 AM as I usually do I just…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.1.2016 – Current Society, Ancient Rome and Business Speak
