Delight and money: the story of a panda USB stick ... also known as the USB stick I paid a premium for. Why did I pay a premium for something that is a prime example of a commodity?

After a bit of to and fro with my partner-in-theme-crime Farhan (who set his own theme also) I decided that my theme for 2010 is FOCUS. 2009 taught me that life is wacky, wonderful, mysterious and filled with unexpected surprises. Sometimes it felt like too much was happening at the same time, and that I lost focus somewhat. So this year, that's what I'll focus on: focussing.
