  • This reminds me of that time I accidentally roasted my college instructor in front of the class.

    It was some kind of logic class for computer science. We were going thru a topic of “statement”, which is “something that has a truth value”.

    I asked, “what about sarcasm?”

    He answered, “sarcasm also has truth value in it, so it’s also a statement”.

    Then he told me to give an example, to which I instictively gave without much thought: “this class is great!”

    Had the whole class laughing while he frowned.

    It was the very first day of him teaching.













  • I make coffee everyday. I brew about two teaspoon of coffee once a day, sometimes twice.

    I’d say I’d never generate too much coffee ground as it’s really easy to handle. It pretty much has everything it needs to make compost, yet it can also help other stuff too, be it onion peel, banana peel, green onion bottom, eggshell, ash, you name it!

    I recently found that it really goes well with leftover fruit pulps. My wife likes to make juice and would filter it sometimes. That leftover would then sit there fermenting for a few days. In a few days the spoiling fruit smell disappeared. I think I found one of the best combination I could find!


  • Composting.

    It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it’s good for… plants, or something… Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that’s when I learned about it.

    I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn’t get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that’s when I knew I succeeded.

    Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it’s good for something, right?
