Shilin typing

Lately I've had a lot of time for thinking.

When I first met Pierre, I couldn't have foreseen what the next three years of our friendship would be like.

When I first wrote about digestion issues in a blog post that wasn't at all about digestion, I received many emails from people struggling with similar symptoms.

I've been on a Nokia 3210 since September thanks to Ava's post about her wife who doesn't own a smartphone.

On December 31, I went to Wat Suan Mokkh in Thailand and registered for a ten-day silent retreat.

As I fought with my mother for the hundredth time over a reason that was silly yet too hard for her to understand, I concluded that this post was long overdue.

Always sign a contract for any job Charge by project, not by hour Give a quote properly Charge 1/2 upfront Don’t start until the payment goes through or is wired and in transfer Do your work well.

It's cloudy in Chiang Mai — which, ironically, makes for a refreshing day — and I'm sitting in a café, staring at a plate of scrambled eggs, quietly panicking about what to do with my life.

It all started there, but it's not where it will end.

Sixteen months ago, Armaan and I launched Guitartonic and left it to run, hoping to return to it when we had time between other projects.
