Well it's Feb 1st 2014. 5 years on.. How have I progressed? Well I am heavier than the last time I added my ramblings to the Internet rubbish heap. As a side note, don't you think the information in the pre-internet age was somewhat purer. Accomplished people in their relevant field published papers, books. I remember reading books in the library and smelling the paper, which often smelt of fish and chips. I always wondered what they did with that smelly paper. Now any plum like myself can contribute... the infinite monkey theory comes to mind. The infinite monkey theory states if a monkey types randomly for an infinite period, the monkey will more than likely re-write the work of Shakespeare. I guess that's what Big Data is all about finding those pieces of information that matter, as the Internet (millions of monkey) types random garbage, you can very well imagine it would be like an never ending TV series like EastEnders but with characters ranging from Kim Kardashian
Hey friends, I'm back in OC.. I had the most awful flight getting back from NYC. It started of with the flight being delayed because the left engine wasn't powering up so having to sit on the tarmac for over 2 hours whilst they fixed the plane.

PAKISTAN.. so guess what we spoke about.. politics!!! Checked myself in, requested an exit seat because of the extra legroom as I'm 6' 3" TALL (not wide.. but close tho) and sitting besides me was a 6ft5 dude.. and i thought to myself uh oh.. the battle for the armrest begins.. initially i thought i wont put my arm there and nor will he.. so there ain't any touching moments between us.. cos my flight was going to San Francisco (SF is famous for gays..and I've had my fair share of guys liking me). So anyway what does he immediately do.. take t
