Forgive And Forget
I really think that one of the big keys to success and happiness in life is to be able to forgive and forget. With some people, it just comes naturally and easily; they can move on and mend relationships without...
I <3 Microsoft Hardware
I know I’ll probably come across like a “fanboi“, but I really, really like Microsoft’s keyboards and mice. I’m currently using the Natural Ergo 4000 keyboard and it’s awesome (you can read my review of it at Amazon). It’s the...
