“How do you escape the friend zone?” a guy colleague of mine asked during a drinking session one night. “You should not be such a Mr. Nice Guy,” a girl colleague replied, coolly blowing smoke into the air. She was the kind of girl who knew what she was talking about, I supposed. She had […]

Bitmoji: Your Own Personal Emoji
Over the holidays I discovered a very neat app that makes emojis that look like you and used it to greet my friends on Christmas and New Year, much to their amusement. “Is that supposed to be you?” they asked. “Yep,” I replied. “Does it look like me?” “Yes! Haha!” So I thought I should […]
