Quiz: 🌊 Which Ancient Apocalypse Survivor Are You?

In ancient Persia, Yima creates a protected sanctuary to survive a deadly winter. In China, Yu the Great doesn’t escape disaster; he solves it, controlling floods through sheer effort and innovation.  Travel across the globe, and the pattern continues. Indigenous American stories speak of floods that reset the world, like the tale of Nanabozho recreating land with the help of animals. In Australia, the Rainbow Serpent shapes rivers and landscapes through powerful floods.  So why do these stories exist everywhere? Some scholars point to real ancient disasters - massive floods, rising seas, or climate events that left a deep ...

 Today’s post is something special! I'm excited to share my first collaboration with a multitalented individual and accomplished creator—my brother, Zakir Qureshi. Not only is he a skilled artist and painter, but he's also a 3D modeler, freelancer, and now a vlogger. His creativity and craftsmanship speak for themselves, and I’m thrilled to showcase his work here. Here is AI Avatar as imagined by Chat GPT. 

It is not just because he is my brother, I am promoting his work. But his art and craft are truly inspiring. Below are a few of his recent vlogs that highlight his unique style and artistic flair.

1. DIY Floating Shelf Project
Zakir dives into his first DIY adventure by crafting a floating shelf, with only minimal help from a carpenter for cutting wood planks. His attention to detail and spatial visualization make every step engaging, and the final setup showcases his ability to envision functional yet aesthetically pleasing décor. This project is a perfect example of his knack for balancing artistry with practicality—resulting in a shelf that enhances the space and speaks to his designer’s eye.

2. Halloween-Themed Witch House
Embracing the spooky season, Zakir pulls out all the stops with his Halloween-themed witch house, built from scratch using only cardboard. His flair for storytelling comes through as he adds every haunting detail. The final look? Perfectly spooky, with just the right mix of charm and fright. While he went all in on the theme, it’s clear his imagination knows no bounds.


3. Wall Renovation and Bookshelf Redo
In this hands-on renovation, Zakir starts by removing an old bookshelf, carefully repairs the wall behind it, and then reinvents the space with a fresh layer of wallpaper. This revamped wall not only becomes a great backdrop for his future vlogs but also demonstrates his resourcefulness in tackling even the grittiest parts of home decor. The final touch adds depth to his workspace, showing how he transforms ordinary spaces into something visually striking.

Did his vlogs spark some inspiration? Let me know your thoughts! And if you’re looking for a creative collaborator, Zakir’s talents extend to various mediums beyond YouTube. Feel free to explore his channels here and here. And reach out if you’re interested in working together on a design project.

Game: China-US AI Competition Getting Hot, So We Said Why Not!

In the unfolding US-China AI war, the latest battlefield reveals a remarkable shift: while the U.S. continues pouring private sector innovation into AI—especially foundational models —China is rapidly catching up through strategic state-backed investments and homegrown chip development . Just last week, China announced plans to triple domestic AI chip production next year, launching multiple new fabrication plants to support efforts by firms like Huawei , Cambricon , and DeepSeek . Why does this matter to users like you? Because competition breeds innovation. From smarter apps and faster data processing to more powerful AI tools at your fingertips—whether for work, creativity, or play—users gain access to sharper, more responsive technologies as both superpowers race forward. And speaking of play… imagine a game that humorously captures this tension: “China Deflecting Tech Attacks.” In this lighthearted sport-like simulation, you play as China’s reactive paddle, bounc...
