I am left-handed. And I honestly tell you, that I really tried to be right-handed while growing up. (I can write with my right-hand because I forced myself during high-school) But i switched back to writing with my left. Other things I didn't even try to change, I punch & kick with my left, chopsticks on my left, etc. Because it felt so natural to me. But I still find it hard to believe that there are genetic predespositions and brain differences for lefties, even after reading this article. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-49579810

I like the fact that 'Healthspan' is the goal, rather than 'lifespan'. Go, go senolytics! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/sep/02/the-science-of-senolytics-how-a-new-pill-could-spell-the-end-of-ageing

This is a very interesting development in Exosuits.

This article is a good start to inform others that there are other types of intelligence that are overlooked. https://www.techquila.co.in/the-nine-types-of-intelligence/

From my point of view, this list is still lacking. I think it lacks something about Spirituality, Wisdom, emotional, hustle -- these are still not recognized.

Would you drink camel milk?
I would. I tried soy and oat milk, and goat milk, so I'm open to other kinds of milk :)

And so. AWS Summit NY just came to a close. I didn't get a single shirt this time. Through the years swag has dwindled. I used to get a boatload of shirts in the past, bit not anymore. At least, there's still free booze. So all is good.

Hmm...I was just visiting MIT the other day, and they come up with this:

Learned of two types of Yeast to make beer: Ale and Lager. I am more of an Ale guy and I thought it's Ale Yeast at the bottom because it's 'heavier', but ale yeast is actually at the top!

If you're in Boston, don't miss the Sam Adams brewery tour! I enjoyed it!

Visiting Massachusetts and saw this little guy in the morning. He's dark brown or maroon with a small patch of white at the tip of his wings.
