Live longer (and make better presentations)

Want to live to a happy old age? And pick up a few tips on how to make better presentations while you’re doing it? This is a great post from Presentation Zen that gives us a few tips on both (and thanks to the embedded TEDx videocast). Take a look, it’s worth the 20 minutes [...]

Iceland

As a U.S. citizen, I’ve always felt terribly dismayed at how insular the United States is. Very few of us travel internationally, and only marginally more seem to have any knowledge of the world at large. Most of our students can’t draw a map of the world or even a reasonably accurate map of Europe. In fact, I recently saw a video clip in which confused interviewees claimed they would support Bush’s plans to start a war with Australia, which had been incorrectly labeled as “Serbia” on a world map. On the whole, as a people the United States is not a part of the world. There is nothing beyond our borders worth talking about, unless perhaps it has some financial impact on our future.

The fact that the [...]

Tea garden

While browsing through my iPhoto database I found these beautiful shots from the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate park. Thought I’d upload a few to my Flickr feed (visit Flickr to see the whole set).

Mumbai

We recently visited Mumbai and stayed in one of the hopelessly Americanized resorts there (you know the type, tailored for corporate visitors for the most part). It was beautiful, we were waited on hand-and-foot, and I felt completely out of touch with India. It was a wonderful visit. I’ll post a bit more about both [...]

Not enough travel

Well, I’ve reorganized this blog a bit in an effort to start… well, using it. Chiefly, there are more categories, nooks and crannies for me to start filling up with assorted oddments of my life. In so doing I’ve come to realize that I spend way too much time working, much too little time traveling, [...]

India and back again

I imagine my plethora of loyal readers (that would be you, Frank) may have noticed the complete lack of any postings from mid-October to mid-December. So what happened? I was in India. Thing is, I had planned on having a lot of time to write while I was there. It didn’t work out as planned [...]
