I read Ender’s Game when I was in middle school, but it didn’t leave that much of an impression on me (or at least I didn’t remember it being a must read). However, I had heard some people recommending it again recently so I decided to give it another try. After listening to Ender’s Game…

Apparently, Kevin Mitnick is one of the most well-known hackers/social engineers in the world. I am not very familiar with the hacking world though, so prior to reading his book, Ghost in the Wires, I had never heard of him before. Now, Mitnick works as a security consultant, doing the same type of hacking work…

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a movie that lives up to its name. Going into the movie, I didn’t have much of an idea about what it would be like, other than that it involved the multiverse and had a predominantly Asian cast. Everything Everywhere All at Once was a mix of comedy, thought-provoking,…

This is a very niche recommendation, but I am a very big college football fan and love to keep up with all of the recent news (especially related to USC football). The main sites for sports like ESPN and Bleacher Report don’t really cover college football recruiting very well, and they only break major news…
For those who haven’t heard, Apple TV+ is now releasing a TV adaptation of the book Pachinko. Pachinko was one of my favorite books of 2021, and I wasn’t sure whether the TV series would live up to the hype. Apple definitely allotted a significant budget to producing Pachinko, as the show stars ultra-popular Korean…
Squash is a great sport to try out, but the major problem with it is accessibility. Unlike most other racquet sports, you probably need to become a member of a private club to be able to play. At least where I live, there are no public squash courts; however, if you can find courts around…
The Graveyard Book is a book that I read a while ago, but recently listened to the audiobook version of. The reason I listened to the audiobook is because I listened to a podcast between the author, Neil Gaiman, and Tim Ferriss. Throughout the conversation, Ferriss repeatably brings up his admiration for the book, and…

Netflix has been producing a bunch of Asian shows recently, whether it be K-dramas, anime, or Japanese dramas. The latest Japanese drama released is a show called The Journalist. I was unaware that The Journalist was based on some true events that happened during the pandemic, but I found it intriguing nonetheless. Apparently though, The…

After Wordle really took off, it spawned a lot of clones/copycat games. While a majority of them are probably not very good, there have been a few variations that I have really enjoyed. The first variation is called Wardle, which is similar to the concept of Wordle but for baseball. Rather than guessing words though,…
Pickleball is a sport that I have been playing a bit more of recently, and it is definitely growing in popularity throughout the US. While I prefer tennis still, playing Pickleball is a nice change of pace and much easier on the body. Pickleball is a lot easier than tennis, and anyone who can play…
