Ukraine is a country to which I have an affinity without a strong reason. I've never been to Ukraine and don't know anyone from Ukraine personally. The reason for my affection might be because of only one person: Andriy Shevchenko [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_

Even though the 49ers were not there, Super Bowl is Super Bowl. Like all the other playoff games (literally, all), the Super Bowl was an exciting game till the end. Yes, the halftime show should be a legend. However, many would agree that the Super Bowl commercials are always the

A few days ago, a Twitter thread was getting popular from my timeline. > 구글은 참 좋은 회사인건 맞다. 주당 실제 일하는 시간 평균 30-40에 괜찮은 페이에 쉬는날많고. 5시 넘어 일하는 사람 한명도 없다. 화려한 오피스 가서 밥먹고 나오면 정말 으쓱한 느낌든다. 근데 반면에 참 괴로운 것들이 있는데... — 박상민 / Sang-Min

I suddenly came not to play PC/console games around 2007. Partly because I quit a gaming studio and started my Ph.D. courses, but mainly because around 2010, I thought the PC/console gaming was too saturated, nothing interest and mobile would prevail. Yes, it was true: mobile games

San Francisco 49ers won again. Following the last week's insane 0-sec wildcard win, Robbie Gould's last time 45-yard field goal snatched the win and made the team proceed to NFC Championship. I had been whining about Jimmy G throughout the game (and it shouldn't

Netflix stock price dropped more than 20% today. A few days ago, Netflix raised its price in the US [https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/14/22884263/netflix-price-increases-2021-us-canada-all-plans-hd-4k] ; now (my) 4K plan is $20 per month.

I'm usually saying to my acquaintances that my religion is Apple - half in fun, but I believe it would be a better religion than Jediism; yes... quite debatable, I know. I prefer a homogeneous environment and have filled my personal and work environment with Apple devices. I
