We’re talking about those moments when AI seems to develop unexpected ‘personalities’… Read more →
Alright! Remember the days of dial-up? That screeching modem sound was the soundtrack to our early online adventures. For us Gen X folks, we practically grew up with the internet, watching it morph from a clunky novelty into this omnipresent beast. We didn’t just join the internet; we evolved with it. But have you ever stopped to think about how… Read more →
Alright! You ever have one of those days where things just feel a bit… off? Like the world’s glitching?

Alright! Cast your mind back to the late 90s, early 2000s, mate. Before TikTok dances and doomscrolling became our daily ritual. There was a time when millions of us, across the globe, united for one grand, mind-boggling mission: hunting for aliens using the spare processing power of our very own personal computers. XAXAXA I’m talking about SETI@home, that wildly ambitious… Read more →
Alright! You ever feel that twitch in your pocket, even when your phone’s not buzzing? Or find yourself swiping through apps without even thinking, just because everyone else at the kopitiam is doing it? We’ve all heard about a “digital detox,” that grand idea of unplugging completely. But let’s be real, for us Gen X lot navigating life here in… Read more →
Alright! You ever feel like you’re constantly living for the next thing? That holiday, that promotion, the new iPhone or, an Android phone with a camera that rivals a DSLR, or even just the weekend? It’s like we’re all secretly hoping for a time machine to jump past the boring bits and land straight into the good stuff. For us… Read more →
Aight! You ever stop and think about it? We’re all proper obsessed with likes, shares, and making sure our latest holiday snap or random thought gets seen by absolutely everyone. It’s like we’re constantly yelling into the void, hoping someone out there clicks that little heart. But what happens, eh, when the internet, that massive beast we feed every day,… Read more →
Alright, you ever just find yourself stuck, scrolling through your phone, eyes all glazed over, just soaking in all the rubbish news and negativity?

Your smartwatch knows when you’re stressed.Your ring knows when you’re ovulating.Your phone knows your pulse, your sleep, your steps, your sins. And yet, we still whisper Al-Fatihah when someone falls sick.Still throw salt over the shoulder.Still check horoscopes while wearing Fitbits.Still ask bomohs to undo hexes, even while posting “#blessed” with a mental health infographic. We’re straddling two realms —… Read more →
Alright, dude! Remember that chat we had 2 weeks ago in “From Bomohs to Biosensors (Part 1): Malaysia’s Journey from Magic to Metric“?
