Is that my lawn or a jungle?
It looks like a jungle to me. Very embarrassing. I didn’t like the work of the last lawn maintenance people so discontinued their service without hiring another one. Huge mistake. Good news is I’ve retained another service provider and by Saturday my lawn should be back to civilization. In [...]

So, I listened to a world renowned investment advisor tonight. He is just back from Asia, Singapore being one of his stop. His visit to that part of the world included speech at Singapore Stock Exchange. No doubt he knows what he is talking about. The question is, where do I, or everyday people, fit [...]

Driving in downtown Atlanta during peak hour is exasperating. I dislike the one way roads because if I miss one turn that means I’ve to drive few more blocks before I can turn around. Total madness. During those moments I just have to remember driving in New York to instantly appreciate Atlanta roads and drivers. [...]

Imagine a world without borders, injustice and prejudice. Imagine a world where we live together as one human race, without “us” and “them”. It can happen. It happened today through film. I’m a huge supporter of TED and participating in one of their event surely open minds and sharing of ideas is inspiring, to put [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting a few interesting people most of whom identified themselves as Internationalist, an individual of international community. It was good to meet same minds. It’s not often I meet people who are well traveled or look upon the universe as one world. At least not in Georgia.
I’ve a [...]

I plan on attending Google I/O. I’m looking forward to meeting and sharing with great minds. More importantly, I want to meet the brilliant minds behind one of today’s best technology. This time I’ve managed to combine a few meetings into one trip. I’m feeling pretty good about it.
On the other side of the globe [...]
I only realized I skipped lunch when I got home and was famished. There are tons of meat in my freezer. It’s not even funny. I’ve got to cook them all off and have friends over. Tonight, it’s going to be lamb steak with rosemary and honey and garden salad. So much for sticking to [...]

It’s heart breaking to see lives lost and the devastation in Burma/Myanmar caused by Cyclone Nargis. Imagine, over 22,000 killed by a single cyclone. Simply tragedy. A friend can’t get through to her sister and her family in Yangon. Her parents live in the south of the country and she is hoping they are ok. [...]

OK, here is a little Tuesday music. The video is a little creepy but it’s tech, can’t beat that. Here’s Daft Punk’s, Technologic. I had to make my music page password protected because I was getting all weird emails and got tired of deleting them. What’s music if one can’t share? Oh well, here is [...]

I can’t wait to take time off. I’m now leaning towards being away for the rest of the year, extending planned travel to over 2 months. I so need to get away. I just want to switch off. Even if I’m not able to build the work structure that I’m hoping to before my departure, [...]
