The DJ who's not a DeeJay

It's been more than a year since I last shared anything on my personal blog.  My laptop severely slowing down and degrading in performance was one of the main reasons why I stopped blogging among other things.  My digital tracks kinda came to a complete stop and I was mainly using my phone for everything.  Creating content on mobile is convenient and I have done a lot relying on apps but there are just some things that are faster done on a laptop.

And so I'm back in 2019 with a new laptop thanks to Aileen for giving this to me as her Christmas gift.  Because of this, I feel inspired to create new content in all forms, blogs, photos, music, videos and give new life to my social media using all the techniques I know using new tools.

Since I'm using tech and digital as my theme for 2019, I am also interested to revisit one of the fundamental skills I learned in college: programming.   I may be out of date but it's never too late to learn a new language.  So we'll see where that goes.

I do have a lot of ideas I hope I get to implement and execute this year.  It's also time to create or invent something new.  The last time I conceptualized something big was when I created a music website and that lasted for 13 years.  I don't have any concrete idea yet, but it will either be on automation, artificial intelligence or robotics.   Bold predictions.  I'll be happy to achieve at least one of those.

So this is the start of a new year and what better way to kickstart 2019 than to blog and share my goals with you.

Happy 2019!

PS:  In case you're interested, my new laptop is an ASUS Vivobook S14.  I'm very happy with the size and speed.

This is my longest-living blog and unfortunately, it's been the least updated last year.  So, to usher in the New Year with a new post, here's some words of wisdom a colleague of mine sent me which I'd like to share.

It's somewhat similar to my personal New Year's Resolution, just in a broader sense.  I leave you with this and greet you all a Happy New Year !

1. Learn healthy ways to manage your stress.
2. Think of challenges as opportunities to shine.
3. Look for the best in others, and yourself.
4. Eat right and get plenty of rest (sleep 6-8 hours daily).
5. Exercise for 60 minutes or more five days a week.
6. Seek out the joys in life and remember to laugh.
7. Do something nice for someone.
8. Make time each day to relax.
9. Surround yourself with upbeat people.
10. Take pride in your work and your achievements.

I remember making New Years Resolutions years back just for the sake of having one but not religiously following it or making a conscious effort to follow it.
