Garbage In, Garbage Out
Recently, I was experimenting with a machine learning project at HotelQuickly. When I was testing an algorithm, I saw how important was it to create a good training data set.

Look Over There, Siberian Husky!
For a good reason, there are not too many dogs in Bangkok. #concreteJungle We used to say to our kids “Look over there, a dog.” Nothing wrong about it, right? … Wrong! I was reading a few months ago in Glenn Doman’s book this is a common mistake parents do. Instead of explaining what kind of…
How Do We Create Our Own Encyclopedic Cards?
We have started teaching our older son the encyclopedic knowledge recently. Actually, we started already a long time ago with “regular” flashcards.

Drop The TV; Feed Your Kids’ Mind Instead
A recent research by the American Academy of Pediatrics revealed that 69% of kids between the age of 6 and 17 spend more than 2 hours of not school-related screen time. It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?

Why Have We Started With Brachiation?

What Can Parents Learn From Gladwell’s Outliers?
Malcolm Gladwell, a best-selling author, published a book Outliers: The Story of Success in 2008. It took me a few years to get to it (#backlog), but then it was a matter of days to finish! He picked some of the most successful people all of us know (i.e. Bill Gates). For each of them, he wrote…
