The holy grail of business.

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Percy Kwong

So many people talk about their big hit. Well, I’ve decided there’s no such thing. Just get a job, start a company, and make enough to survive. More in a bit.

You have gotta be kidding…

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Percy Kwong

The White House on Tuesday said in a statement that it “does not object” to extending the three Patriot Act provisions until December 2011 although it “would strongly prefer” an extension until December 2013, noting that the longer timeline “provides the necessary certainty and predictability” that law enforcement agencies require while at the same time…

Zuckerberg’s Donation to Newark

Posted on September 23, 2010 by Percy Kwong

OK.  Let’s be realistic.  I applaud you MZ for donating to Newark, god knows they need a break.  You want to fix the education system; I get it. Let’s talk reality though.  Newark needs to fix more than it’s Schools.  Let’s start with the Police force and the rampant Gang and Drug warfare. Donate it…

Solving the CO2 Problem

Posted on January 20, 2010 by Percy Kwong

Maybe I’m just pointing out the obvious, but the way to solve a problem isn’t just brushing it under the rug and making believe it’s not there anymore.  This seems to be what scientists want to do to help mitigate global warming.  Let’s just inject it into rocks and seal it underground!

BPO: Business Process Outsourcing or Big Problem Outcomes?

Posted on January 9, 2010 by Percy Kwong

Mass recession and unemployment. The problem can be summed up in three words; Business Process Outsourcing otherwise known as BPO. What exactly is it? It’s not just another business acronym, but a very serious problem and trend that continues to haunt not just America, but every other First World Economy today.

Gotta Love Microsoft..

It’s funny when installing Exchange 2010 is infinitely more retarded and complex than installing Postfix, MySql, Courier, Spam Assassin, SquirrelMail, ClamAV and CentOS 5.3 with all the security and VPN goodies. I just did an Exchange 2010 install and it only crashed the server and mucked things up for no apparent reason 3 times!  Kept…

Where is the Human in humanity today!?!!

Posted on June 14, 2009 by Percy Kwong

So I’m on an airplane (what else is new) and as soon as the plane takes off, this guy walks over to me and just collapses on the floor.  The flight attendants had to make an announcement to get a doctor or someone with medical experience to help (this is normal), but what just fucking…
