People You May Know on Facebook
Monday, March 31st, 2008I’m not sure when it went live since I’ve been gone awhile, but I absolutely love facebook’s “People you may know” suggestions that can now be seen on the right side of your Facebook profile. I just discovered it and I’ve found many of the recommendations are pretty good — it popped up quite […]
BigDog Beta
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008I’m in Asia on vacation, but not totally unconnected to the world — I’m still checking my facebook and gmail accounts. My colleague sent me a link to a new video he and a couple buddies produced and I wanted to help him spread the word by sharing the link.
It’s the same guy who put […]
An Update from Southeast Asia
Friday, March 21st, 2008So, my buddy and I just arrived at our hostel in Hanoi, Vietnam after a 30 hour (yes, you read that right - 30) train ride from Saigon arriving at 4:30 am. It’s 5:55 am here, and we can’t check into our hostel yet, so I have some time to do a quick update with some of my thoughts.
Bangkok, Thailand – Definitely […]
Off to Southeast Asia
Sunday, March 9th, 2008I’m in Thailand at the moment, and have another couple weeks of vacation in Southeast Asia — that means no blogging unless I find time to upload a couple photos. I’m looking forward to Halong Bay (among other places).

The Best Incentive I’ve Seen to Update Your Profile Picture
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008A picture you don’t like — I got a good chuckle from this post by Fred.
I totally agree with him — if I saw this picture on my profile, I would change it as quick as I could. It may be a sleezy incentive, but it’s probably a smart way to increase the number of […]
Marc Andreessen’s Hour and a Half with Obama
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I tend to try to avoid politics on this blog, but I’m an Obama fan and thought Marc Andreessen’s post was a good 1st hand perspective of Barack — take a look.
Have You Ever Seen Someone 5′9″ Do This?
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008I’m guessing not, but look no further than this video of Nate Robinson (who went to High School locally at Rainier Beach).

Where do you get your News — Traditional Media or Online?
Saturday, March 1st, 2008It’s kind of ironic that I have been reading traditional print magazines (Economist, Newsweek, and ESPN) for a lot of today, but I’m writing a post citing the growing trend in Americans turning toward online sources for their news.
If you get your news from traditional print or television, which sources do you consume? If you […]
Mountains Beyond Mountains
Saturday, March 1st, 2008I actually read Mountains Beyond Mountains several months ago at the end of my trip to the Dominican Republic, but am just now putting some of my thoughts into words. A volunteer working in Hato Mayer passed the book to me — and boy, am I glad she did. It’s one of the most […]
