Katherine Pe: What I Hate About the Over-hyped Pacquiao and Mayweather Fight

http://www.katherinepe.com/2015/05/what-i-hate-about-over-hyped-manny.html

On technology and life. May 3, 2015. What I Hate About the Over-hyped Pacquiao and Mayweather Fight. It's clearly not a fight, but a show of biases and unreasonable judgement. Terrible experience. I want my money back! I thought that this would be a good show and didn't really care who was going to win but also somewhat predicted that he probably won't. What was so disappointing was Floyd Mayweather's awkward style of dancing, hugging and hitting below the belt. What the hell is respectable about him?

Katherine Pe: Listening to Aaron Swartz

http://www.katherinepe.com/2013/01/on-aaron-swartz.html

On technology and life. January 13, 2013. Listening to Aaron Swartz. It seems like a dumb escapist's act to commit suicide. But he was smart. There are theories that he has been depressed over the years. It looks serious as it seems he did contemplate about killing himself prior to being convicted. Depression is a serious matter I couldn't talk about. I might sink in to it. As I read more about him, he looked more disappointed. Than depressed. He was vocal about most of his disappointments. Dying with ho...

Katherine Pe: Why I Respect People Who Quit Early

http://www.katherinepe.com/2015/04/why-i-respect-people-who-quit-early.html

On technology and life. April 9, 2015. Why I Respect People Who Quit Early. People talk to me and complain about their jobs. One day I felt so annoyed that I had to block some of these people. Years might pass and they might still be wondering why. Do I know of any opportunities? That's not aging gracefully. The people born in 1990s are usually. Had she done things the Chinese way, she wouldn't have lost a lot. Lesson here is do not hire people who whine about their situation (even secretly). Many are to...

Katherine Pe: My Retreat to Cervantes, Ilocos Sur

http://www.katherinepe.com/2012/03/my-retreat-to-cervantes-ilocos-sur.html

On technology and life. March 13, 2012. My Retreat to Cervantes, Ilocos Sur. I was very lucky to have sat beside good Ilokanos. I was always lucky in fact. My trip to Ilocos Norte in 2010. Even the spelling is the same. Kayu (wood), batu (rock), makan and so on. When I see one, I remember my best friend. No, I did not sleep much and certainly didn't use the hammock. I was reading on one of the huts. And I was reading a technical book. But realized it was outdated. Meh. My relatives also gave me chocolate...

Katherine Pe: Geekcamp PH: Is it possible?

http://www.katherinepe.com/2012/02/geekcamp-ph-is-it-possible.html

On technology and life. February 5, 2012. Geekcamp PH: Is it possible? When I visited Singapore, I didn't know there was going be a Geekcamp event. Until Jason Ong told me so. I was too busy to write about the event last year but I think it's worth sharing. Was very organized thanks to Jason Ong. Luther Goh Lu Feng. And other organizers. The venue was in Microsoft near Marina Bay. I later found out that the first Geekcamp event was held in Malaysia and organized by Kamal. Which I also attended. That was ...

Katherine Pe: It's Not About Gender

http://www.katherinepe.com/2012/08/its-not-about-gender.html

On technology and life. August 19, 2012. It's Not About Gender. Sunday morning. I haven't slept because I am so excited to see the sunrise which I didn't see by the way with this kind of weather. Foggy. 16 °C. Still, before I go out and take a really long walk, I have some thoughts about technology and gender which I want to write about and share. Co-founder of Rails Girls. Sent some emails. They remind me of some tech community work which I think I could help with next year. It's Not About Gender. Rails...

Katherine Pe: My 2 Centavos on Philippine Education

http://www.katherinepe.com/2015/06/my-2-centavos-on-philippine-education.html

On technology and life. June 6, 2015. My 2 Centavos on Philippine Education. Years ago, I got my transcript of records to pursue graduate school. I think I even wrote about it here but didn't go for it. I slacked off. I find it's the things I don't say that eventually happen. Honestly, I feel too old for this whole ladder game. Which I have been trying to avoid for years so I didn't take any corporate job. The on-site jobs I took were quite unconventional and they're all small companies. They simply knew...
