When meeting someone after many years, there aren’t many times I would recommend discussing religion and politics but that was part of a rather pleasant conversation I found myself in recently.

ABG — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:30:12 PST

We all have a teacher that we look back to and say that was the moment that changed me in school — my first one would probably be back in 5th grade but the one that left the greatest impact would be one from high school. Now this story may not end up being anything [...]

Fight For The Future

ABG — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 07:11:58 PST

With all the news about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) which would allow the US government as well as the copyright holders to seek court orders against websites they felt were infringing on such rights. The bill also would make legal the ability to refuse payment of online advertising networks and stop companies like PayPal from conducting business [...]

View of the Korean Peninsula

ABG — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:41:23 PST

I was looking at this picture earlier tonight and it just shows how far back North Korea really is. That’s a comparison of North and South Korea and how the two countries look at night-time from the sky.

Social Media’s Impact on Customer Relations

ABG — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:19:51 PST

Last week I attended KPMG’s 20th Annual Insurance Issues Conference and one of the opening speakers was Dr. Cindy Gordon who is the Founder of Helix Commerce International Inc., a company specializing in business innovation, collaboration commerce, and social media.

Storing The World’s Nuclear Weapons

ABG — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:30:55 PST

Pretty cool infographic on where nuclear weapons are found around the world and here in the US. Not surprised to see the decline in the number of weapons in stockpile but I did not expect to see such a sharp decline over the last two decades. Via: Mozy

Painful Reminder

ABG — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:00:21 PDT

Being in a different country, away from family and close friends, for the little things doesn’t bother me as much any more as when I first moved but for the bigger things in life, they still get to you. After hearing some terribly sad news from a very close friend of the passing away of [...]

US Law: It Is Illegal To Boycott Israel?

ABG — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 06:12:42 PDT

If you are a resident of the United States of America, you should be aware that it is literally illegal to boycott Israel. I have never been in favour of or against a boycott against said country but it is definitely interesting to note that it is not even legal to do it. I had [...]
