One of my this year resolutions is to meditate again. So I started doing Vipassana meditation in the morning when I wake up. I found I was better at it when I was younger. I used to be able to sit for one full hour with relative ease. Nowadays, trying to sit for even twenty minutes has become a pain in the ass. The problem is that I am able to concentrate less now. My mind just wanders off way too easily. Whenever I try to concentrate on my breath random thoughts start flashing into my mind. Oh whatever happened to that missing Malaysian flight, let me cook up my own theory. We need to buy more of those mango juice that Kiki (our two-year-old daughter) drinks. Gee … I still haven’t booked our flight for the upcoming vacation, etc.

Derek Sivers has been a tremendous source of inspiration to me, and I have always enjoyed reading his insightful blogs.

ကျွန်တော်တို့ ဗုဒ္ဓဘာသာ မှာ လောဘ၊ ဒေါသ၊ မောဟ ဆို တဲ့ မာရ်ငါးပါး ရှိပါတယ်။ လောဘ၊ ဒေါသ ရဲ့ အဓိပယ်ကတော့ရှင်းပါ တယ်။ မောဟ အဓိပယ် ကြတော့ သိပ် မရှင်းပါဘူး။

Generators were a mystery to me when I first learned Python. I learned them through an excellent explanation on Stackoverflow about Python yield keyword and generators in general. Generators are more memory efficient than a regular list because they return a sequence lazilily, meaning each item in the sequence gets computed at the last minute.
