We just got a brand new Discman
My eldest, Wira, has been fascinated by the technology from the 80s and the 90s since years ago. I’m not sure how it was started, but I remember it was one fine afternoon during the global lockdown when he asked, “can we trade our TV?” I looked at our flat-screen LCD TV, perched proudly on…

On blogging, building community, and (a rant on) AI — and back using English
… Aaaand she’s back. I tried using the Indonesian language in my previous post, and I found myself feeling “stiff” on using it. I know, the irony, I’m an Indonesian and here I am, feeling uncomfortable using my own language. I know some Indonesians out there who would love to sling mud at me because…

Bloghopping
During its heyday, folks were familiar with the term “blogring” or “webring”. I think the latter came from MySpace. I remember we used to exchange blog links and visiting our friends’ blog is some kind of daily habit. I still maintain my friends’ link on the page Archives & Blogrolls — and you might find…

Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple, Bali
Watching this IRL has been one of my bucket lists. As of now, Youtube should suffice. Kecak dance is telling a story of Ramayana ballad — a story about a prince (Lord Rama) with his wife, Sita (in Indonesia, we named her “Shinta”) and their battle against evil force: Ravana. The story opens with kecak…

(Finally) Figuring Out Podcasting — and still trying to figure it out now
Last year, I wrote about how I (finally) found the joy in listening to podcasts: Listening to podcast has been quite a bumpy ride for me. I can converse and understand English pretty well, yes, but I’m still not comfortable on listening podcast because it feels like it needs additional level of effort (listening and…
