    AVG will sell your browsing and search history to advertisers

    September 23, 2015 /

    On my trip back to the states, a few people asked me why I don’t use AVG Free antivirus software. Well, aside from the reasons I stated then (pop-ups, bugs, general clunkiness), AVG has changed their privacy policy and expressed their intent to sell the browsing and search history of their users to advertisers. Tsk, tsk. Of course, if you are reading this on Facebook (my blog auto-publishes to my FB wall), similar data of yours has been sold already. The truth is, free antivirus programs are not free at all, and most are complete shit. My choice of antivirus software? I do not always recommend my personal choice because…

    Jet lag, Brain lag, everywhere a lag lag

    September 20, 2015 /

    We just got back from an epic trip back home to the states where I officiated my baby sister’s wedding, reunited with whole gaggle of relatives (some of whom I hadn’t seen for decades), and took the kids to Disneyland for their first time (thanks dad and Vangie!) the day before we left. It was basically a day and a half by planes and a bus (including a 1.5 hour stopover in Incheon and a brief respite in the Lad Prao area of Bangkok at our relatives’ place), and jet lag/exhaustion has hit all of us hard. I nearly went out of my mind for the past couple hours by accidentally enabling this…

    August 24, 2015 /

    It was an 8-day Thai funeral. Cremation (and for Max and I, ordination) was on the last day. Ashes were spread on the nearby Chi river this morning (9th day). Nam is still working on the aftermath, even now. These are some photos from one of the outfits (HD-ELEE Studio) covering it.

    Gang Wai

    August 15, 2015 /

    Made from the tip of some mysterious plant which I’m too lazy to Google at the moment, the wai in gang wai is both seasonal and local, so it would probably sell out at Whole Foods back home. This particular iteration also contains white ants. It is one of the best bowls I have ever eaten. Coincidence? I think not. Insects make everything better, people (you eat parts of them every day anyway). Posted from WordPress for Android
