 Is it that too small of a market that Logitech would consider having an Indonesian site?
Since the govt made blackberry put up Indonesian site, I simply have no tolerance to computer or telecommunication related sites that does not have Indonesian specific site. We are the twitter capital of asia, and the 6th most facebook user in the world. Put that behind every telecommunication gadget and services, we are a large market. Now YOU put on effort to respect that, or the whole lot of us will simply abandon your product.
Ngerti nggak lo?
Mama (ngeliat hp): Kenapa sih sekarang gempa mulu?
Ayah (lagi ngetik): Ya maap.
The caption reads: "A new document shows Toyota saved over $100 million by getting US regulators to agree to a cheap fix for its accelerator problems."The mood of the news was blaming Toyota. Toyota is getting inquiries from all government bodies. So.. baad Toyota for getting the US regulators to agree in the first place? What did Toyota do anyway, force the regulators to agree? Poor regulators. YouTube - New Toyota controversy
Why Are We Surprised?: This article discussed Tiger Wood's, and any other famous men's, sex scandals in Psychology Today. Apparently, the underlying motives for men is to do anything is to get laid. This is very interesting.
Money surely is not the answer to happiness. But to be able to find happiness you have to be, among other things, well fed, well rested and not trouble to fulfill any basic needs. You also need to limit yourself to only have secondary and tertiary needs to the amount that you can afford. After these needs are met, then you can talk about helping others or making a difference.
In a world were most of these things can't be met by sheer barters, you need a worldly accepted barter agent. That's money, generally.
So, if you think that your life starts when you can actually do that thing that you dream your whole life, start gathering enough money to fulfill anything that you and your family could possibly need now and in the future. Then you can start living. Or, you can start acknowledging this fact and stop lying to yourself. This process, where you moan and whine about not enough money, is a part of your life. Don't discredit it. Live with what you have, be thankful of what you've gain and what you've learned (the hard way). Cherish your family and friends and motivate yourself to try harder and still muster enough energy to be thankful everyday.
Don't miss your life just because you think you're trying to get your life.
Just realized that my multiply account is not syncing with my blogger accounts.
Common sense. If your purpose is to enrich your group, be it your kampung or your company, it is counterproductive to have a business entity inside your business entity. If your kampung has a business selling handcrafts or processed skin products to outside your kampung, you're bringing capital in. Likewise, sell something and you're bringing dough in to your company, for everybody's paycheck. Along comes Joe. Joe is either selling something to be consumed by the kampung villagers individually or the company. Capital reserved for everybody else (assumed equally shared) would be less. Joe would be richer, overall everybody else would be poorer. The kampung and the company would have an opportunity lose, see drop in profit. Common title for Joe is, as it is, a parasite.
- human are alone, but long to be connected
- we want to have meaning, but realize can't depend on other for validation, thus understand that we are alone
- anxiety that our validation must come from within
- because we are alone, our lives are meaningless. nothing greater than ourselves, no external sources of values and absolutes. nothing to live
- this also create freedom to create own value and personal life-meaning and apply to own condition. this gives feeling of significance and purpose, strong enough to be carried through life.
- still, must summon strength and courage to choose personal life-meaning and hold to it. this is difficult.

"Jadi, pekerja di Swiss mendapatkan gaji paling tinggi dan pajak rendah serta jam kerja lebih pendek."
Sebenarnya penulisnya sudah sangat hati-hati mengingatkan pembacanya.
"Gambaran tersebut digunakan untuk memberikan ilustrasi seberapa besar daya beli gaji yang diterima untuk membeli sekumpulan barang atau jasa yang berkualitas sama di sejumlah tempat."
So, carefule when you read this. Ingatlah bahwa sewa kamar dan harga barang kebutuhan pokok di masing-masing negara berbeda. $2 mungkin cukup untuk makan kenyang di pinggiran trotoar Kuningan, tapi hot dog di kaki lima di New York itu $3-$4, nggak kenyang dan nggak termasuk minum.
Apartement murah di Queens harganya $1100, sementara di Mampang banyak di sekitar $100.
Kelemahan dari meletakkan satu index universal, seperti Big Mac index, adalah kegagalan untuk memberikan konteks yang menyeluruh. Akibatnya, pembaca bisa saja mendapatkan kesan bahwa seolah-olah kita dibayar 1/15 dibawah kebutuhan hidup.
Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.
Mencari ke Mana?

Tersentil satu pikiran. Kenapa aku susah-susah mencari inspirasi? Aku baru saja membawanya pulang.
Dia mengadakan sarapan di pagiku, saat aku kelimpungan dengan seratus data pasar yang semuanya mungkin tidak berguna tapi tetap harus kubaca, saat aku berdoa setengah sepuluh datang enam jam lagi. Dia berani pergi kerja sendiri, karena aku sibuk dengan diriku sendiri, dengan duniaku sendiri. Dia bercurah keringat seharian ketika aku bertanya apa yang ingin kulakukan seharian. Senyumnya menyapaku ketika malam tiba, saat aku kelimpungan dengan seratus data baru yang mungkin sebentar lagi tidak berguna.
Saat dia pergi, aku tetap bersamanya. Dia hadir di penjepit uang yang sudah lama kucari-cari, tiba-tiba muncul di samping laptopku. Dia hadir di sendok mungil yang mengintip di nasi kotakku, karena hari itu aku tidak di kantor dan tidak punya sendok. Dia hadir di uang tujuh ribu yang berlebih di tempat rokok saat aku harus masuk tol.
Bersamanya aku menghitung bintang, menebak bentuk awan. Dia menyatukan duniaku ketika aku ketakutan, dia menghitung jejak langkahku ketika aku tersesat. Kami tertawa, menertawai orang lain, saling menertawai dan menertawai diri sendiri. Badannya tak habis kupeluk. Rambutnya tak habis kucium. Seratus kamus kami ciptakan tiap hari, karena kata-kata yang ada terlalu membosankan dan tidak mampu mengekspresikan apa yang kami rasakan. Aku ingin bermain dengannya seratus tahun lagi.
Dia dibelakangku setiap kali aku berteriak kehilangan diriku, menggali-gali di sudut rumput mencari ketenangan dan inspirasi, terengah-engah seharian. Dia menungguku karena setiap kali, entah kenapa, dia tahu kalau di akhir hari, aku kembali sadar, terus menerus, bahwa yang kucari sudah ada di rumah. Pintar sekali. Ini sudah akhir hari. Aku pulang ke kamu, Cinta.
Aku jatuh cinta lagi padanya.
Setelah setahun punya bayi, ada beberapa investasi untuk bayi yang kurasa perlu:
1. Pompa susu bayi. Kalau berniat untuk ASI ekslusif sekurang-kurangnya setahun, ini adalah investasi yang bagus, terutama untuk ibu bekerja.
2. Gendongan bayi yang bagus.
3. Kereta bayi.
Ketiga alat ini diperlukan sekurang-kurangnya setahun. Karena itu, kalau jumlahnya terlalu besar, menurutku tidak masalah untuk dicicil dengan KTA bank. 6% setahun itu reasonable.
Berikut adalah alat bayi yang dapat disewa berdasarkan kepastian penggunaannya.
1. Kereta bayi
2. Kursi makan
Kalau bayi kita ternyata dapat menggunakan ini dalam jangka waktu minimal 10 bulan, lebih untung beli. Kalau tidak, sewa saja. Per bulan harga yang masuk akal adalah 80 ribu sampai 100 ribu.
Hope that helps.

Mendengar God isn't dead, aku berpikir mengenai manusia. Sejak kapan manusia ditinggal untuk hidup sendiri, merusak apapun di sekelilingnya, merubah surga tempat mereka tinggal menjadi neraka, yang akhirnya membunuh manusia itu sendiri? Apakah kita dibiarkan hidup di sini sebagai hukuman? Hidup bersama, akhirnya kita hanya akan saling menginjak, saling membunuh?
Please tell me God isn't dead.
