CTS is organized well. In addition to the teams technical abilities, they meet me each day, assigned me a driver to make sure I got to where I needed to go, brought me food, and generally took good care of me.
The only downside, and this applies to everywhere I have been so far, is that [...]

I am working on this post on my Iphone. I am guessing it will post when I land as there is no connectivity on this 747-400. Such an old crappy jet. I am a little amazed Lufthansa is this cramped and dirty.
I have been in transit since 7pm Friday evening NYC time. I have no [...]

In about 36 hours I will leave for Bangalore, India. This will be my first trip to India and my first trip to Asia that isn’t the Middle East. I am very excited to be traveling to meet the folks that I work with each day at CTS, see some of Southern India, and then [...]

Let me start by saying rape is terrible and I often think it should be punished by death. I am not normally a death penalty supporter, but rape just seems so overwhelmingly wrong and perhaps worse than murder, because the victim has to endure. Having spoken to rape and beating victims there are often deep [...]

I have been wondering why I am seen as not being romantic and sensitive. I think it is because I can be verbally aggressive and like to argue. People therefore assume I must be insensitive or not romantic.
I think most people seem to think there is a inverse relationship between being logical and being emotional [...]

It may surprise people that I am a very visual thinking. I once had a whiteboard at home and use one at work all the time. I can recall diagrams and maps simply by closing my eyes. This also leads to some interesting visualizations of complex non-concrete topics.
I also have a love for trees. They [...]

So why are we so surprised by his actions? We have an increasingly violent society as a result of the impatience and vitriol from the right, video games, television, and the crowning achievement? Illogical wars that are morally, spiritually, and financially bankrupting our nation.
Maj. Hasan is our warning and by calling him a terrorist is [...]

I am a tax paying, job holding, voting, G-d fearing, red blooded, educated, Jewish American male.
I am also gay.
I also believe in the separation of Church and state. I believe that in a modern secular democracy G-d has no business in the actions of the government.
I also believe that the social contract says I have [...]

I am not doing so well with seamless integration of photos from Smug Mug. It would appear as if flickr’s tools are better with WP. But I am making what I can of it and hope I can dig into some of the code in a bit. In the meantime here are a few images [...]
