Program Management Career Explained
Program Managers own the list, probably not anything on the list, but the list itself. Owning means to make sure the items on the list got checked. Every now and then, they go back to the beginning and check them … Continue reading

Superpower Chess Game
Let’s see, Xi JingPing and Barrack Obama met in Sunnylands, California, early June 7th. Months prior, all major news media berated China for all kinds of cyber criminal activities: piracy, hacking, spying, and downright stealing US’s advanced defense technologies. Move … Continue reading

Not the Best Sequel
The Twelve is the second of the Passage trilogy. The way Justin Cronin had it, I am not sure the third book is worth reading. As Passage ended, I expected the “hunt” to continue. I wanted those protagonists to bond … Continue reading
Dough is the Soul of Pizza
Remember my bread formula? (For breads, they are formula, not recipes.) A few days ago, Wife made another batch of dough. After several loaves of bread, we have a portion slightly larger than my fist. I thought I will experiment … Continue reading

Earphones, new era
I have tried many pairs of earphones, cheap and expensive, and settled on Philips (and disappointed at Sony). I have used up one pair and acquired a similar model ($35) and been happy with it. I used them for work-outs … Continue reading
